May 2023 My Brother Knights, What a year we’ve had so far. We are now in the final two months of the Fraternal Year and as of the writing of this article, Washington has achieved our Circle of Honor goal and is currently number 15 in order and number 4 in division three for membership recruitment. However, we cannot afford to rest just yet. We only need 51 more members to achieve Pinnacle, the highest Recruitment award in the Order. That’s just 26 members per month, which is so achievable. By now most of you all have heard of the recruitment contest between WA and OR. Basically, whichever Jurisdiction had the most new members recruited as of the first day of the Oregon Convention wins. Well, we narrowly beat them by 0.77% that equates to just 3 new member difference. As of April 20th, Washington has recruited 568 new members, 215 are between the ages of 18 and 50. As I have stated before, they are the future leaders of our councils and the order. Let’s engage and train them to lead. Congratulations to the following 19 councils that have achieved 100% of their membership goal and are knocking on the door of Star Council. (+= division leaders, *= Double Star, **= Triple Star) Division I Division III 9605 – 120% +*4385 – 267% +*10534 – 220% 4782 – 157% *11736 – 200% 7863 – 157% 11906 – 100% 9434 – 143% 12583 – 160% *9617 – 250% 13364 – 100% 12591 – 140% *17257 – 200% Division II Division IV +**3645 – 380% +11789 – 144% 8768 – 100% 13374 – 133% 9833 – 100% 15143 – 100% There are 12 councils that only need 1 or 2 new members to achieve their goal.

Give me a call, send me an email and let’s talk. Together, we can finish out this Fraternal Year making it the best ever!
Vivat Jesus!
