Recommended attire for everyone is business casual.  That is, a collared shirt and long trousers.  Candidates are encouraged to invite spouses and other guests to witness your ceremony. All candidates can at a later date apply to become a Fourth Degree Knights.  This requires a separate Exemplification Ceremony conducted at the state level.  Numerous Council 9924 Knights are also Fourth Degree Knights. Sponsors are needed to assist and support our new Brother Knights during this important step. If you'd be interested in being a sponsor please click here to fill and submit a simple sponsorship form. Finally, If you know of anyone who may be interested in knowing more about joining Council 9924, please contact Steve Vacca at stevac58@yahoo.com.
