FAQS:
How long will the process take?
The process consists of an interview with the
admissions committee. This may last approximately 15 minutes. Once
interviewed, your application will be voted on at the next business meeting and
you will be notified.
Upon acceptance, you will have to go through three Degrees before you are
considered full Third Degree member.
How much will this cost me?
We charge a nominal amount of $35 for annual
dues. That's it. No hidden costs, no additional
charges.* (* There is a small fee for initiation once
you are accepted into the order due prior to making your first degree).
Does being a Knight take a lot of my time?
No. You can become a Knight and spend as little or
as much time as you like. We don't take attendance and you will not be
made to feel guilty if you have personal obligations.
Are you sure? I have young children at home...
Yes... a lot of us have or had young children at one
point or another. We have over 250 members, of which we see maybe 40 of
them on a regular basis. And besides, we hold a lot of family oriented
functions that you can bring your wife and kids to!
What about insurance... will I be pressured to buy insurance?
Absolutely not. Insurance in our order is
voluntary. It is great insurance, but if you have no need... you will not
be pressured. Contact our Insurance Agent Michael
Mancini with any insurance related questions.
