More info on the upcoming 4th degree.
If your considering taking the 4th degree, the tuxedo is one of the biggest expense. I found a place in Hillsboro just pas Durham that sells off-rental tuxedos. If you tell them your a Knight, you can get the full tuxedo, shirt tie etc for $100.00. Something to consider.
Again, I have forms for next meeting, if you fill them out, and get me the check for the fee, I can send them to the assmebly for you.
I’ve included the full detail below from the state web site.

FORM 4’s
Worthy Sir Knights, in the past I have been able to view the Supreme web site and obtain missing Form 4 information for candidates. I no longer have this luxury and therefore, incomplete submissions will be returned for correction. This delay could cause a candidate to be disqualified if I do not have it back in time. To avoid this, it is the responsibility of the Assembly Faithful Navigator and Faithful Comptroller, that ALL information is on the form.
Items that have been missing in the past are:
. Membership Numbers
. 1st Degree Date
. Citizenship questions
. New or Present Assembly Number and Location (Sponsoring Assembly)
. Signature of Financial Secretary and Council to which the candidate belongs
. Applicant Signature
. FN and/or FC Signatures
LEGIBILITY COUNTS! If it is difficult to read, print above the name. Certificates are made for each candidate and each time we have a dozen or more that are incorrectly spelled. Most because I can not read the names.
Finally, I MUST receive, at minimum, the top two copies. I have the responsibility to submit the top or original to Supreme with my report. The second copy is for my records should there be a discrepancy.
There will not be ANY refunds after the cut off date unless there is an extreme hardship or I have made an error and not responded to a request for refund prior to the cut off date. Remember, there are only two of us working the lists and we are as careful as possible, but errors are made.
Thank you all for your help.
