State Chaplain
June 2018
It was a joy to see many of you at the State Convention last month in Pasco and to celebrate the achievements of the fraternal year. Congratulations! I couldn’t help but notice the large number of councils that had no representation at the Convention; I encourage you to make an effort next year to have every council in the Washington jurisdiction represented by at least one delegate. It is well worth the time, and you never realize what a “shot in the arm” the State Convention is until you experience it for yourself.

June 2018 My Dear Brothers, Well, it is June and the 115th Convention is in the books. Gratefully, all Per Capita bills have been paid as well…albeit a number were just paid this week…all are paid regardless, and I thank you for your cooperation. A personal thanks here to our All-Forms Chairman, Kevin Fraley, for helping on the final collection efforts for Per Capita…Great Job Kevin.

June 2018 Brother Knights, What a fantastic Convention!!! Now we are focused on the Summer Meeting in preparation to make our fraternal year 2018-2019 the best ever. Now to a sad note, we are losing Tommy LaCour as our Tootsie Roll Chairman due to health reasons. Tommy exceeded my/our expectations and was responsible for our highest intake since the program began seven years ago. We topped $139,000+ in funds raised for 2017-2018. We now have raised almost $800,000 since the program began.

June 2018 Brother Knights, Thank you to all who attended the State Convention last month and for your vote of confidence by reelecting me as your State Advocate for another term. I want to extend a special thanks to the Grand Knights who sat on the Resolutions Committee: GK Gordon Rodewald, III; GK George Doty; GK Gary Cloninger; and GK Jim Chambers. You all were instrumental in facilitating an efficient resolutions process during the convention. Also contributing was DD Brad Smith, who provided invaluable legal insight during the review leading up to the convention. Thank you all!!

June 2018 My Brothers, What a great Convention! I hope all you whom attended the 115th Washington State Convention in Pasco had as much fun as I did. All the work that you men did over the past year was on display for all to see. I would like to recognize the host Council for their hard work to organize the Convention and the great support they provided during the Convention. Richland Council 3307, led by Grand Knight Tom Pysto, Convention Chairman Mike Reisenauer and District Deputy Bob Olson, did a great job organizing a dedicated group of Knights.
