The days are beginning to lengthen and the promise of Springtime is only weeks away. But even though it is still Winter, we are all hard at work in our Commanderies. It has been a joy to visit with many of you, and I am grateful for the wonderful hospitality you have afforded me and those who accompany me. Nancy and I are slipping away into summer as we cruise the Caribbean this month to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary.
Don't forget to take the opportunity to recognize those Sir Knights who have provided support, leadership and guidance, by awarding them the
Illustrious Knight of the Triangle. I strongly encourage each Commandery to bring honor to themselves and those Sir Knights by fully participating in the Awards program. S.K. Lawrence Breletic, REPGC, GT, and Chairman has supplied each Commandery with the forms you need. The
form is also available to
download from the Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania's web site.
The Division Commanders Seminar, the Past Division Commanders Annual Association meeting and banquet, and the Grand Officers Conference are held this first weekend in February, which combines the meeting of three very important bodies in our Grand Commandery. Much is accomplished that weekend for the betterment and success of Grand Commandery.
Information concerning the Annual Conclave of Grand Commandery will soon be forthcoming. I look forward to greeting many of you there.
