Convention Program Advertising Information
The State Convention Program provides value and memorable information for the convention attendees. The Program ads defray some of the cost associated with the annual meeting.
This is an opportunity for Councils, Districts, and Assemblies to express their thanks and congratulatory remarks for another great year, as well as, for commercial sponsors to advertise.
Speaking of “another great year” please note this is also Virginia’s 125th anniversary of being part of this great organization known as the Knights of Columbus. Yes, from our humble beginnings commencing with Council 367, the “first Council in the South”, to present our fellow Brother Knights of Virginia, have done truly amazing and great things for our local communities, as well as, for the Order. So, it is most acceptable and encouraged to include anniversary wishes within this year’s ads.
The Program serves as a guide to convention activities and a keepsake of the events. It serves as out state yearbook, with portraits of our leadership, district deputies, and the state staff who work tirelessly to make the fraternal year a success. The Program provides the convention schedule, so you know where to be, when, and what to wear.
