I’ve heard from a few of you already and it is our intention to hold a one hour video conference meeting next Thursday May 16th to hear what your Grand Knight and yourselves have to say. We appreciate your efforts to make a positive contribution to the future strategy of the DDC so as to make it a benefit to all and a core communication tool for the Order in Dallas.
