Worthy Sir Knights, I would like to announce that SK Rafael (RC) Canamar has accepted the position of Marshal for the First District of Texas. As many of you have experienced, the volume of turnouts within our District has continued to grow. Some of our Assemblies have had 2 and 3 turnouts on the same day and that has happened more that once. Some have had multiple turnouts where they have split their membership to accomplish two turnouts at the same time. Sir Knights from neighboring Assemblies and from around the District have pitched in when asked. Without complaint our current Marshals, SK Kevin McDonough, SK Jack Black, SK Cesar Naguit and SK Larry Treibel have continued to be there and lead our turnouts is a manner second to none. RC will bring the total number of Marshals serving our District from four (4) to five (5). When you have the opportunity, Please thank each of our Marshals for giving so much of the time and talent. And most importantly thank RC for taking off the Purple and putting on the Green. Please pass this information on to your Assemblies Membership. Vivat Jesus! Viva Cristo Rey! Michael D. Gallagher Master, First District of Texas
