Greetings SirKnights;
August Stated Conclave went well. After a delicious pot luck dinner and excellent fellowship in the Baker Room we opened the Commandery. Commandery No.1 purchased from the Beauceant’s benevolent project, a framed printof a painting by JudyWigglesworth, a view of Fredericksburg from ChathamHeights circa 1865. All money from the purchase of these prints goes to the Eye Foundation. Following the business session a Cross of Faith was formed in the memory of GeorgeDerrick (King Fish )Stevens. A Memorial Service Practice was conducted after closing.
