H G's in attendance; Leroy Wiesman, PSD Lon Unsell, FN Jon Kidd, FN as of 6/1/09 Howard Coughlin Gene Gerlach Jeff Kessler Jerry Struble Chris Victor Mike Schorer J A Arroyo Dave Lozano - ADM As previously noted, today is my last day on the job as Assistant District Marshall for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. It has been my pleasure to have served in this capacity for the Order. The Honor Guard at each Assembly, should be functional by following existing rules and regulations. The FN for each Assembly, is responsible for the Honor Guard. All requests concerning the Honor Guard, are his responsibility. The Dress Code, is his responsibility. I have one suggestion for FN's, and that is to only consider HG requests when at least 4 HG's are committed. If a HG request is taken with 3 or 2 HG's, and one has to back out, that leaves an HG detail that will just not look good for the Order. 4th Degree Assembly Installation of Officers July 26th at 7:00 pm at the Mohawk Council Hall, the 4th Degree Assembly Installation of Officers for Tulsa, Bristow/St. Catherine's, and Broken Arrow Assemblies will be held. We need 3rd Degree members to help with food and help the Ladies Auxiliary.  Keep Our Seminarians in Your Prayers We encourage you to email our seminarians as often as you can.
