Grand Knight Dave Johnston (l), new knight Bob Highland, and Membership Director Mike Welsh.

With the exemplification of Bob Highland on June 22, Council 10208 met its adjusted goal of 24 knights joining the council 1n the 2010-2011 Fraternal Year.  After delayed access to their materials, the 1st Degree Team did another excellent exemplification for the five candidates, including four from Hot Springs Council 6419.

Membership Director Mike Welsh is to be commended for his leadership and tenacity in achieving the goal.  Mike's recruitment committee included:  Ed Cudworth, Dave Johnston, Ed Miller, Bill Nosek, Jim Passe, Ray Peters, Milt Spaniel, Tom Thornton, and Bill Welch.  With Field Agent Randy Schnoebelen's work and Grand Knight Bill Welch's stewardship, the Council is well positioned to earn another Star Council Award.

The Council's 1st Degree Team must also be recognized for its willingness and flexibilty in holding exemplifications on short notice.  The June 26 team consisted of Buddy Dixon, Mike Frantz, Mike Kerwin, Gerald Krawczynski, Ray Peters, and Tom Yerina.
