(Grand Knights Notes:)

The State Officers feel it is critical for all the GK’s to be involved in this state planning meeting. With that said, the state officers have approved to pay for a Saturday night stay and mileage for all Grand Knights attending. In accordance with our bylaws, Mileage calculated from your home council city to Edmond, OK. Lunch Saturday and Sunday will be provided for you and your wives. A banquet dinner will also be provided Saturday. If your council is 150 miles or more from Edmond, we will also provide a Friday night stay.

This will be a special weekend for the state as we network and gather as a complete state leadership team, we would love for your wife to attend. We are planning some events for the ladies while we are in meetings on Saturday and Sunday.

For those District Deputies that have been reappointed please bring form 185 with you for each of your councils to ensure the State Directory is updated with the latest listing of Council Officers. For the newly appointed District Deputies, please get with your predecessor and ask him to assist you in acquiring the information.

Newly appointed District Deputies will need to get the district files from their predecessor. In addition, plan on providing the date of your District meeting to be held prior to August 15th. When looking for date please do not plan meeting between August 3^rd to August 5^th due to the Supreme Convention.

We will be following Archdiocese and City of Edmond guidelines for Covid. We will be offering the meeting on Zoom for those the feel it is best for them not to attend in person. This will be in a watch only mode. Whether you decide to join us in person or choose to watch on Zoom we are asking that all set this time aside for the State Organizational Meeting.

Please RSVP to the State Advocate at plstraamski10@gmail.com or myself by e-mail with you and your wife’s attendance information no later than June 12th. The state will be making your reservation. Where a Grand Knight is unable to attend a Deputy Grand Knight can be sent in his place.
