On Sunday, November 20, six Council 10208 knights traveled to Fort Smith for a 2nd/3rd Dregree Exemplification.  Candidates Bill Gribbon, Floyd Hodge, Ted Otero, and Tony Shields attended with mentors Ed Miller and Steve Schramer.

This was the first exemplification in Arkanas with the revised ceremonials for the 3rd Degree.  Congratulations to the 1st Degree Knights for taking these important next steps and thanks to the mentors for accompanying them.

Plans are underway for Council 6419 in Hot Springs to host a 2nd/3rd Degree Exemplification in mid January, 2012.  Grand Knight Dennis Bosch and District 10 Deputy Ed Miller are trying to schedule it, and an announcement of the date should be made soon.
