TO: Faithful Navigators and Comptrollers
SUBJECT: Fourth Degree Exemplification
As Master of the Southern District of Illinois, I am proud to announce the Exemplification in Springfield,
IL on January 31, 2015. Enclosed you will find the requirements, schedule of events, and hotel/motel
lodging. Please send this information to every member of your Assembly to recruit new Sir Knights. It is
imperative that each Assembly recruits and brings several candidates to this Exemplification. It is also
important to have Sir Knights to observe the degree of Patriotism and for Sir Knights in regalia to assist
in the ceremony. The facilities for the weekend will be The Northfield Inn and Conference Center,
3280 Northfield Drive Springfield, IL 62702. Make your reservation ASAP. Only through the efforts of
each assembly in the District can we grow our membership and make this Exemplification a great
success. Let’s set a record for Sir Knights joining our ranks. Help a Brother Knight complete the
process. “NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE FOURTH DEGREE”.
!
!
To make this Exemplification a success, we need your help to:
1. Sign up new candidates for the Exemplification and insure the Form 4 is printed, legible and
complete, with membership number, council number, and required signatures as listed on the Form 4.
2. Order your banquet tickets as a group and identify who will pick up the tickets.
3. Identify candidates you wish to sit with or near your group.
4. Insure you and other Past Faithful Navigators bring their white capes and act as guards for the
Exemplification. Commanders are encouraged to attend and bring their purple regalia. All Sir Knights
with regalia are encouraged to bring their regalia and serve in the honor guard for the Exemplification
and the Exemplification Mass.
5. Purchase an “ad” or “sponsor ad” in the souvenir booklet.
6. Dress for the Exemplification is black tuxedo with black bow tie, a white formal pleated shirt with a
“standard” lay down collar that hides the band of the tie, black socks, and black footwear. Social
baldric is required for Sir Knights not wearing regalia.
