District Deputy Claude Lagacé of Manitoba District #3 and State Deputy Paul J. E. Dupré have their heads shaved at a "Brave the Shave" event hosted by La Salle Circle 5576. Several Squires, as well as district and state officers, had their heads shaved at St. Hyacinthe Church in support of breast cancer research. For losing their locks, Knights and Squires raised $7,360.

Nick Polito, Brett Ford, Sean Palmer and Lenard Morris of St. Mary of the Assumption Circle 5444 in Glenshaw join a U.S. Marine in saluting the Tomb of the Unknowns after participating in a wreath-laying ceremony there. Squires took a fraternal trip to Washington, D.C., to visit museums, monuments and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The circle also participated in the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns, which took more than a year to arrange.
