Commander's Call
We have just received the following changes
from our District Marshall Pat Kelly:
"It is my pleasure to inform you of the change from the Supreme Master on wearing
miniature jewels. The requirement of wearing these items only on the "lip" of the
pocket has been rescinded. You are free to return to your former positioning of
your Mini-Jewels above the pocket. The only comment is that the bottom of the Jewels
be 1/8" - 1/4" above the "lip" of the pocket to accommodate the wearing of a name
badge, when not in Color Corps Uniform."
We are still in need of Sir Knights in the Color Corps. It does not
require you to be at every event, just be willing to help when you can. We have
sets of Regalia available if you want to try the Corps out and not have to buy your
own all at once. Please consider the Corps, it is our most visible group and we
need you.

Color Corps Dress Requirements
At the Providential Meeting held September 2006
in Lakewood, WA the Supreme Master through the Vice Supreme Master stressed the importance
of how the Honor Guard or Color Guard is perceived by the public and has directed
we adhere to the Fourth Degree Memorandum dated May 2006.
Copies of the memorandum have been distributed to each member of the Guard, if you haven't received
your copy yet, one is available for you. Please read the memorandum as we are going
to follow it to the letter.
The main points are uniformity and appearance by uniformity for example, if one
member shows up without his Fourth Degree lapel pin on the tux, none of us will
wear our lapel pin. Uniformity is a MUST.
Appearance means neatly pressed Tux, black
shoes and black socks, Cape pressed, please do not store your cape in your chapeau
case. Personnel grooming, neatly trimmed hair and beard.
If your cape is not the
shinny satin and you’re using a loaner cape, we need to exchange with you. If you
own the cloth cape, it can be redone using the satin color. Chapeau, if the color
or condition has yellowed, we need to address this (this applies to white capes
as well). Vests are not allowed any longer.
Miniature jewels earned from the Knights
of Columbus are the only ones worn and must be placed on the left breast pocket
not above the pocket. These requirements only apply when in Regalia, not when wearing
a tux at a social event.
Worthy Sir Knights whether or nor we like these changes is not an option.
Please
remember the oath we all took to obey rules of the Order as well as our elected
officers.
If any individual has a problem regarding his equipment, please feel free to contact
me as your Commander and I will due whatever I can to work with you.
If any of this
is a financial matter, please discuss this in private with Faithful Navigator. Because
of the continued cooperation and support I receive from each of you, I know I can
rely on your support of these changes.
