Richmond County- President Haynes- I would like to say that from your District and Richmond County’s own Cu Chulain Degree team gracefully performed to a captive audience at this years Bi annual New York State Convention held in Syracuse this past July. The team was led in by now past director of the degree team Jack King and everyone gave an impeccable performance to those who attended the degree. It was sadly Jack’s final Degree as the valiant Chief of Escort and of the team but no one should be prouder of his leadership throughout his tenure as President of this degree team that has graced the many Counties and States . Kudos to you Jack and good luck in all your future endeavors. Now President of the team Mike McGroarty may have big shoes to fill but was given the baton from Jack to keep this degree team going in the spectacular way it has always been run.
