A message from the State Deputy

Thanks to DD Jon Harvey, we will be holding a training session at the Old Town K of C Hall on June 10 from 1 to 4 pm.  This is the same weekend as the Summer Special Olympics at the University of Maine in Orono, which I am sure many brother Knights will be working at.  The session is being held after the olympics ends and is open to all KC members.  It will focus on Financial Secretary duties and responsibilities as well as use of the Financial Secretary software.  We are trying to get someone from the Supreme Council to conduct the training.  Hopefully there will be a good attendance at this meeting.  Please pass the word that this is going to happen.

There will be a 3rd Degree on May 6 at 10am at the Van Buren Knights of Columbus Hall.  Registration at 09:30 and there will be a meal immediately after the Degree

FMI contact your District Deputy

There will be a second degree at the Fort Kent Knights of Columbus Hall on May 5th at 1pm.  Registration at 12:30

The next County Council Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 31st in Fort Fairfield at the Knights of Columbus Hall.  Meeting is scheduled to begin at 7pm with a meal served at 6:30Pm.  Menu to follow.
