Knights of Peter Claver Inc.: Northern States District

At the conference, the Emerging Leaders did a service project at a New Jersey Elementary School. They read some storybooks to students. The Emerging Leaders are a group of young Claver adults (18 to 35) that are the future of Claverism in the Knights of Peter Claver Inc.   Back at the Hilton Hotel, Clavers are checking out local vendors, participating in the health task force and attending committee meetings before the business sessions begin for the Knights and Ladies.   The Scholarship-Raffle Ticket Committee     Local New Jersey Vendors     Health Fair     Here are two board members and another knight preparing for the opening business session.        Later in the day, knights and ladies enjoyed music and dancing at the Back To The Future Dance.

On Thrusday, April 11th Clavers from all over came to Parsippany, NJ to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Northern States District. The pre-conference session was a card party for fun and fellowship. After the drive from the Newark Liberty International Airport, early attendees enjoyed some snacks and drinks before business the following day. Members of the district board and national officers played Bid Whist, Spades and more.
