Brothers,
Well Winter seems to have come and gone faster than we expected. I say that there’s no more snow on the way because I finally got around to fixing my snowblower.
We have a dinner meeting on February 22nd. I hope to see everyone there.
There may be a bit of confusion in March, though. Thanks to Dave Frank’s tireless efforts, we once again have our March Communion Breakfast coming up, although it will take place on April 3rd (due to Easter and the Queen’s Inn’s availability). But then we have our regular Dinner Meeting on April 25th. So yes, there are two functions in April, after a bit of a quiet March.
We look forward to seeing everyone for the Communion Breakfast, as well as the Dinner Meeting.
Vivat,
SK Jeff Smith

John Price brought an issue to our attention regarding Physician Assisted Death, where not only is it possibly coming to our province, but also that the possibility of abuse if very real. To that end, there is a noted speaker from London who is willing to come to Stratford to speak on the dangers this situation brings.
For our part, Assembly 1866 will join with the Council to pay the costs of bringing this speaker in at a future date. Once the date has been confirmed I urge all members to try to attend.

I received the following update from our District Master:
I have been approached a number of times these past few months with reference to 4th degree Colour Corps and Honour Guards.
Just for your information with respect to eligibility for the 4th degree Colour Corps and an Honour Guards at wakes or funerals, here are the current guidelines, as specified by our Vice Supreme Master:
An Honour Guard may be requested to attend and serve at the funeral of any K of C member regardless of his degree in the Order. If the request is made for a deceased immediate family member of a Knight in good standing, an Honour Guard can be authorized by the Faithful Navigator or District Master. For immediate family member which encompasses: wife, children, parents, aunt, uncle, grandchildren, son-in-law, daughter-in-law.
When a brother knight passes and cremation is the form of service, an Honour Guard may be present. We are there to honour our deceased brother with or without the presence of a physical body.
