       except the Deputy Grand Knight, Warden, Inside Guard, and 3rd Year Trustee.  A total
       of 18 members were present.  The minutes from the last meeting were distributed. A
       motion was made to accept the minutes and seconded.  A vote carried the motion.

   From the Grand Knight:

1.  The Grand Knight acknowledged Jim Wilkenson as a potential new member and
