The 66th Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment, Knights Templar, U.S.A. will be held at the Adams Mark Hotel, 120 Church Street, Buffalo, NY from August 8 through August 12, 2015. Our own SK David Dixon Goodwin, the Most Eminent Grand Master will be presiding as his last official act as his journey in the Grand Encampment elected line comes to a close. All Past Grand Commanders and current Grand Commandery Council Officers are encouraged to attend for voting. All Sir Knights are encouraged to attend as well. Since the Grand Commandery of New York will be the host Grand Commandery, many Sir Knights will be needed to assist in service on local committees to making this event run smoothly. All Commanderies are encouraged to bring their Beauseant and stand to this event as part of the opening ceremony. We are trying to make this a major first class event for SK Goodwin and the Grand Encampment. Please speak with this Grand Commander or one of his Aides if you are willing to assist on this event in anyway.

100th Anniversary Rededication of the Laying of the Cornerstone Celebration of the Templar Building on the Campus Community at Utica on Saturday, May 23, 2015. I am asking that as many Sir Knights and families as possible attend this event and be a part of the Honor Guard and ceremony of the day.

The Grand Commandery of New York will once again participate in the Grand Encampment Easter Sunrise Weekend at Alexander, VA on April 3-5, 2015.
