The State Convention provides an opportunity for the delegates, members, and guests to celebrate accomplishments and successes, learn from other councils activities, renew old acquaintances, establish new friendships, and to recommit to the vision of our founder, Fr. Michael J. McGivney. See our attached agenda and the information provided by our Convention Committee to see the many special events and activities scheduled this year. Fourth Degree members are requested to bring their regalia if they wish to participate in the Color Corps at the Masses and Banquet. The proper clothing for the regular meetings is a business suit or blazer with slacks. The attire for the Saturday night banquet is formal - tuxedos, dark suits or white dinner jackets with ties for men and evening dress for the ladies. District Deputies should bring their District signs for the tables and Grand Knights their Columbian Award Applications to the State Convention. I also suggest that you acquire a clipboard and add your council number in big white numerals so I can recognize you when you rise to speak and make a motion or second a motion.
