The
annual observance is an
excellent time for to
gather together for
dozens of Chevaliers,
from their teens to
their seventies, to
enjoy the bounds of
brotherhood. Our
observance is regularly
attended by Chevaliers
from out-of-state,
whether transplants from
other jurisdictions or
those able to travel for
the yearly observance. We
hope to see you there.
