My Brother Knights, Thank you to all who helped orchestrate the Annual meeting in May and to all who attended the Annual meeting. The first in person convention in three years was a huge success. I also want to thank you for your vote of confidence in electing me as your next State Deputy. I am deeply humbled, and I ask for your prayers as we journey together to accomplish our mission as Knights of Columbus in building up His Kingdom. Congratulations to my brother state officers for being elected to the next chair and a big welcome to our Worthy State Warden – Elect Dang Nguyen. I look forward to serving with this amazing team. I extend a special note of gratitude to our WSD Kim Washburn for his leadership and passion over the last two years. Kim, you truly are an inspiration to all of us and the Washington State Council is a lot better off because of you. Beginning July 1, I know we will see you just as committed as an IPSD as you are now. The Convention proceedings will be released and posted on the State Council website this summer. Look for the Next Six Months Letter as well from State Secretary – Elect Tom Williams. The Summer Leadership Meeting for District Deputies and Financial Secretaries will be held at Gonzaga University, July 21-23, 2023, at the Hemmingson Conference Center. Please refer to the flyer in this bulletin for further information. District Deputies and Financial Secretaries will be responsible for making their own hotel accommodation. Recommend you select hotels that are close to the Hemmingson Center. More details will be sent to district deputies, financial secretaries and select state chairmen. My brothers do not grow complacent or lose focus over the summer. The Devil and his minions want you to do that. Instead, keep the joy of Easter in your hearts and let the revolution that Christ began over 2000 years ago set flame to your actions. Everything we do must be Through Him, With Him and In Him. This is the Way; Walk in It. Vivat Jesus!
Fraternally, Greg
