Grand Knight Handbook

Please remember that the Supreme Council office cannot
possibly know or guess to exactly what use material will be
put, how many copies are needed, or how it will be distributed.
A simple statement such as, “Please send me 25
copies of the folder, (title)’’ will bring you what you want
and as many as you need.
Pamphlets, folders, booklets and releases should always
be ordered by their full and correct titles and appropriate
numbers. It takes little extra time for you to ascertain the
correct title and number, and much time can be saved in
getting the material to you when this information is supplied
in all orders.
Items will be shipped the least expensive way, unless
requested otherwise, and charged to council. Shipping
costs for all items, except membership recruitment supplies,
will be billed to the council. All supply requisitions
(#1) should be signed by the grand knight or financial secretary
before they are submitted to the Supreme Council
Supply Department.
All shipments into Canada are subject to GST. This applies
to both cost of goods and shipping cost. This will be
charged through normal billing procedures.
PROPER PROTOCOL
Protocol is basic common courtesy. Special rules have
been established pertaining to proper conduct in handling
certain situations. Where there is no specific rule governing
a situation, you will not go wrong by employing common
courtesy.
A guest at your council should be treated with great
respect. Anticipate and attend to the needs of your special
guest and always show thanks and appreciation for their
presence.
INVITATIONS — Guests should be sent proper invitations in
writing well in advance but at least six weeks before the
