Brothers All, Vivat Jesus!
As you have heard from my Tar Heel Knight articles over the past two months, there are required forms that must be submitted to Supreme for the continuity of business for your Councils. I have been harping on the fact that that these also need to be sent to the State Council and your District Deputy for record keeping. The reason that this is part of the process is so that when there is an issue with the form at Supreme, we can intercede on your behalf. I’ve been able to successfully get several forms submitted that they previously rejected. This saves additional efforts on you.
The Form 185 (Submission of Council Officers Elected) and Form 365 (Submission of Program Personnel Chosen for Term) were both due back in July. We are very close to having all of the Councils complete with these forms. Supreme is showing five (5) missing Form 185s and twelve (12) missing Form 365s. Also, the Form 1295-1 (Council Audit for the first half of the Council year) only has seventeen (17) Councils that are delinquent. One of the seventeen delinquent Councils of the 1295 is delinquent by two reports meaning they have not turned in their report that was due in February. This is grounds for suspension of a Council meaning that you will not be able to conduct any of the good works that we do as Knights. I have already resubmitted several of these three forms for Councils that are not showing as being received on behalf of the local Council from those that the State Council has received a copy.
We are VERY close to being in 100% compliance. Please help us achieve that milestone so that I don’t have to continue to bring this subject up and can move on to other topics.
If there is anything that I can do to assist you in any manner, please do not hesitate to reach out. That is what I am here for, to help you in any possible way.
