 | Brother Knights: I pray this finds you well.
All deposits will be refunded by the Grand Hotel. |
Many of us have been affected by the Corona virus in way or another. It seems we are over the worst and please remember to pray for those and their families that passed away or were infected with the corona virus.
We will be delivering the Convention by the way of a Virtual Convention. When all details and time of convention is solidified you will be informed.
Our hopes are that all delegates will be able to attend the Virtual Convention. Please watch your email and this website for more information and pass this information to all of your delegates.
I want to give you a current update on our virtual State convention.
The process for delegates to be part of the Convention happens only when each council sends in their respective delegate’s council number, name and phone number they will use for the virtual convention to the state office by May 10th.
The correct phone number is vital, this is the only number the delegates will be able to sign in with.
Returning signed credentials to the state office is not going to be required to allow everyone to meet the May 10th deadline.
FLS Network is the firm hosting our convention, they will contact all delegates by phone with instructions on how to log-in and be part of the virtual convention on May 23rd.
Great News – The 50% discount for new e-members has been extended for Michigan until April 30. Please continue to invite men to join using the discount code, neighbor 2020
The Online Exemplification on Thursday night was a huge success with our state being in the top 5 of all states in total men participating. My thanks go to all the councils who were part of this great event.
I would like to congratulate Very Reverend James Batcha at St Michael Byzantine for starting a new council.
Through these tough times many men and their families have shown they want to join our Organization to help others. The more men that join the more we can help.
Before the pandemic - Michigan was second in the United States and eleventh in the world in Membership intake. I believe we will stay there or even better our position.
Our programs are second to none.
With all these accomplishments everyone should be very proud. I know Fr Michael J. McGivney is smiling down on us.
Keep up the good work and soon we will get back to normalcy.
I’m looking forward to shaking you hand in congratulations for keeping our faith strong and staying positive during these tough times
Bill Chasse Michigan State Deputy
