I want to Thank everyone who had a part in making our Inspection a huge success. Sir Knight Haines was quite impressed with the work of the day and the precision Findlay Commandery Displayed for the Candidate. My Thanks and appreciation to the stage crew, Officers, and Sir Knights who supported our Commandery. “IN HOC SIGNO VINCES” May 22nd will be the Election of Officers for Findlay Commandery , Please show your support and elect the next Leaders of our Great Commandery. (Also remember the Admonition presented you at your knighting, “consider being an officer of your Commandery, an honor I Sincerely hope you will be called upon to accept”.)
Installation of the Officers will be June 26th

I challenge you Sir Knights to find ways to live our core values of Feeding the Hungry , clothing the naked and binding the wounds of the afflicted. Soup kitchens, clothing collection, and visiting our home bound brethren. Come out and help us live what we profess and maybe we can make a difference in the lives of someone else.
Templar Trivia
Since no one asked me for the answers I will repeat the Trivia questions, and offer a challenge , the first Sir Knight to answer correctly will win a Prize.

• The Honor, Ideals, and Reputation of the Templars Inspired what Famous Film maker? It also influenced a very popular TV series.
• Were the Templars a band of Bearded Brothers?

If you would like to know the answers to these questions, you will need to attend the Spring meetings to find out. Please help your Commandery and get involved in an organization that has a very interesting past.
I would like to thank the Officers of Findlay Commandery who have served with me these last two years. It is a pleasure to serve with hard working knights who share the same goal. Thank you and continue to serve faithfully under his banner.

Your Emminent Commander,
Stephen E. Roth – KCT
