Now is the time to begin recruiting candidates for this exemplification. This class in the
central part of Iowa provides easy access for all Third Degree Brother Knights. Let us
continue to grow the Fourth Degree by adding new members and new assemblies like we
have over the past several years.

The exemplification fee is set at $70 by Supreme. It provides the candidate with a Fourth
Degree pin, social baldric, class certificate and banquet ticket. It also covers the fee required
by Supreme. The candidates are required to wear a black tuxedo, white tux shirt with
regular collar, black cummerbund, black shoes and socks. The Military, Police and Fire
Personal are allowed to where their formal uniform.

Any Third Degree Knight is eligible to join the Fourth Degree if he has been a First Degree
member of the Knights of Columbus for six (6) months. Just complete a Fourth Degree
Membership Document with all signatures (candidate, proposer, financial secretary, faithful
navigator and faithful comptroller). Send the document and a check for $70 (plus any
additional banquet tickets @ $18.00) made out to “Pat O’Keefe, Master” and mail to:

Francis E. Schlueter

District Secretary

452 NW 70th Place

Ankeny, IA 50023-9536

All Fourth Degree members are urged to attend the banquet to show your support for the
new members. Order your tickets from Francis at the above address with your check
payable to “Pat O’Keefe, Master.” For additional information, call Pat at 515-253-0551 or

Don’t delay; we need you NOW to replenish those who have gone before us and move
forward with even greater acts of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
