How can I join the Knights of Saint Andrew?
There are three requirements to join the KSA.
- The primary duty of any KSA member is service to the Valley of Columbus. To continue being a KSA member you must participate in Valley Reunions and Events. Being unable to fulfill this primary duty can result in the KSA member becoming inactive or removed from the roaster. KSA members are not required to attend every Valley function, we respect that life can keep us all busy.
- Show up at any event, look for KSA members and volunteer to help. After participating for a few Valley events you can then ask for a Petition to join.
- All Petitions, with the $20 yearly dues, are voted on at the Annual Meeting. We will then invite all new members to an initiation ceremony.
