Communication:
With the annual Fall UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN not far off, your Charitable Foundation is asking all Brother Knights that they are able to designate our Nova Scotia Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation for a portion of or all of the donations via their payroll deduction plan with their employers.
It is through the generosity of our Brother Knights that we are able to provide financial support to the charities approved by our Councils during our annual State Convention.
Your assistance in informing your members is very much appreciated. Warmest regards

Appointment District Master
At our Supreme Assembly meetings last Thursday in Washington SK Jim MacDonald was appointed District Master Nova Scotia for the term 1 September 2010, 31 August 2012. I ask for your full support in recruiting new members to become Sir Knights during the upcoming Columbian year. We need more Sir Knight’s and we need more in full regalia. Last year we had seven assemblies who did not recruit a new member, let’s have all 14 assemblies recruit this year
I thank Sir Knight’s Reg Bonner and Henry Ziabek for putting there names forward and I hope you will continue to support the Fourth Degree as you have done so in the past. Just a note on dress we are getting better but there is still work to be done. At the opening mass for the Supreme Convention there were 201 in the color guard when we formed up to be inspected two hours before the mass and when the inspection was over we had 186 meaning that 15 were removed for various dress irregularities including a Master and Marshall, so as you can see the Supreme Knight is sticking by his word to have one exemplification, one drill manual and one uniform.
On another note when sending in fourth degree pictures to supreme hoping to have them appear in Columbian magazine insure that the dress is correct on all members in the picture or the pictures will not be accepted. We had a patriotic award submission rejected because of dress so lets pay more attention and have our guard commanders check dress more closely at all events.
