b'My Brother Knights,9 Years ago, I started my Knights journey with my Family of Brothers at my council home of 10004. Joining the Knights of Columbus just seemed like the right fit for me. The activities we hold, the events we chair, the people whose lives we forever change as Brothers really showed me what it means to love thy Neighbor.My Family has grown over the years as I have moved through the various chairs of office at my council as well as my assembly. I have become closer through the activities we have performed with my Parish Family as well. No longer are we passing strangers going to mass, we are Family united in the Holy Spirit.My State Family has grown as well over the past 5 years. I have been able to get to know many Brothers while serving the needs of my State Family as the State Webmaster, Communications Director, Silver Rose Chairman, Newsletter Chairman, Registration Director for the Convention, District Deputy 13, District Deputy 20, and District Deputy 9. This Coming Fraternal Year I will continue to Faithfully Serve by taking the role of Community Director as well as completing my final year as District Deputy 9.Over the last few months, I have been praying and reaching out for advice from my Community of Families. With their support and guidance, I would like to announce with my wife Renee, my daughter Madison, and my son Stephen My Candidacy for the position of STATE WARDEN at the 2022-2023 State ConventionI pray you will join me as I look to continue serving Familial CommunityYour Brother in Christ, Ladd Rosipal2'
