Knights of Columbus - Color Corp

Normally the priorities are vigils of deceased members in good standing, our own activities, area member priest anniversaries and installations, and Council and parish activities. Our membership is mainly drawn from five Councils on the peninsula. We welcome Fourth Degree members from each Council and encourage them to become color corps members so that they can support their own Council activities.

Rebuilding the Color Corps

Purchase of swords not to exceed $150.00 - Hand Receipt policy.

($121.15 of $327.60 total at Lynch & Kelly- 2004 Spring catalog) (See below - Currently $320.00 plus shipping.) (Originally $125.00 - Amended by motion to $150.00 on January 18, 2007) The sword purchase would be hand receipted to the member with the explicit requirement that upon transfer, inactivity or leaving Archbishop Alemany Assembly 76, the item(s) will be returned or the $150.00 repaid to Archbishop Alemany Assembly 76.
