Civic Involvement Committee

 

Chariman: OPEN

 

Information from Supreme for this committee:

  • Find out what your community has in recreational and cultural opportunities. Ask yourself what it lacks. Study what you can do to upgrade, strengthen, support and encourage sound pro- grams of recreation and culture for the people of your community.
  • Promote penal reform. Help convicts help themselves. Write letters, make visits, help the fami- lies of inmates, offer to teach prisoners any special skills you have, encourage local businesses to consider hiring ex-convicts.
  • Show pride in your country by displaying the flag properly at council meetings, patriotic events, communitywide programs. Distribute Supreme Council literature and decals promoting flag use and patriotism.
  • Celebrate a heritage of liberty by planning events for Constitution Week, held Sept. 17-23 each year in the United States. Sponsor a display or a speaking program at a local library or plan a similar event. Use the opportunity to also encourage all Third Degree Knights to reach their fullest potential of Knighthood by joining the Fourth Degree — the patriotic degree.
