Our assembly participate in parades, funeral honor guards,
confirmations and will be represented at the fourth degree
exemplification held annually at the Sheraton Hotel in Lisle,
Illinois on the second weekend
in February.
This training session will discuss how the Guard Should be conducted.
This is a Great Opportunity for everyone to get trained.
The Honor Guard Manual has changed over the years and a lot of Sir
Knights are not aware of the New Changes. Come to the Training and help
us look Sharp and Dignified. Watch for future training opportunities.
