After dinner on Friday, we took a tour of the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It's a moving memorial and the Grand Master General was very knowledgeable on the subject. The rest of the night was spent hanging out with Knights from all over North America.
Saturday morning, the Annual Conclave was opened by Oklahoma Priory No.9 before the gavel was given to the Grand Master General. Normal business was taken care of, but one notable item of business is that four amendments were brought to the floor. These resolutions would update our Constitution and Bylaws, but will be carried over to next year. The four concern several updates including increasing the fees that the Convent General charges Priories.
The annual meeting of the York Cross of Honor Medical Research Foundation was held and included an update on the cancer research being done at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
After a Memorial Service, the following officers were installed for the ensuing year:
Grand Master-General: Gary Miller
Deputy Grand Master-General: Jim McGee
Grand Warder of the Temple: Leland Burlison
Grand Treasurer-General: Reese Harrison
Grand Registrar-General: D. Allen Surratt
Grand Seneschal: Bart Henderson
Grand Marshal: Charles A. McCollum
Grand Sentinel: Chris Larsen
After some dinner with friends, now it's time to pack for my trip home in the morning. I hope everyone has a good Labor Day Weekend.
