Officer and Director Planning Meeting / Officer's Installation Ceremony

Brother Knights - 
Wanted to take a moment to thank Brother Arthur Hausler and wife, Jane, for hosting this year's Planning Meeting and Officer Installation at their home Saturday. We had a nice turnout and all went well.  The food and fellowship was great.  And our wives certainly enjoyed visiting with one another as well.  Thanks again Hausler Family for opening up your lovely home to the group.

Subject:  Diocesan Conference
 
Worthy Grand Knights,
The Galveston-Houston Diocesan Conference has been set for July 29th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM.  It will be held the the Council 2917 KC Hall, located at 607 East Whitney Drive, Houston, TX 77022.
This is an extremely important meeting that all Council officers are highly encouraged to attend.  Supreme Council and State Council goals, initiatives and program changes will be presented and discussed.  Diocesan plans will also be presented.  Please encourage all of the officers in your Council to join you, to learn, share, and have fellowship with brother Knights from around our archdiocese.
You will need the information passed out at this conference to guide your Councils throughout the year.  I would expect that we would receive expanded info on the Building the Domestic Church Program and other 6 programs that we design our activities around.
See you there!

Ron Frerich
District Deputy
