Ed Miller and Max Nutt

During the program following the November 4 Memorial Mass and Banquet, Arkansas Master presented the 2010-2011 Civic Award to Faithful Captain Ed Miller in the absence of Past Faithful Navigator Jerry Bertrand.

The Civic Award is presented annually as a tribute to the spirit of patriotism and national pride exemplified in the patriotic activities conducted by Fourth Degree assemblies. Assemblies conducting a minimum of four different patriotic programs during the fraternal year are eligible for the Supreme Council Civic Award.

During the 2010-11 fraternal year, 344 assemblies received the Civic Award. To be eligible, assemblies must complete and submit the Civic Award application to the Supreme Council office by June 30. All assemblies are encouraged to achieve Civic Award status each and every fraternal year.

The award states "FOR OUTSTANDING IMPLEMENTATION OF PATRIOTIC PROGRAMMING FAITHFUL TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE FOURTH DEGREE OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, JUNE 30.2011."
