Reporting near live from Birch Run, Michigan, host city for the Michigan State Circle Columbian Squires State Convention…

Congratulations to the newly elected State Officers for the Michigan State Circle Columbian Squires! We’re especially proud that Circle 801’s own Sebastian Cooper has been elected to a state position (positions begin July 1st):

Congratulations also goes to Circle #801’s own Dylan Cooper, who will be finishing his term as State Chief Squire on June 30th. Dylan and Past State Chief Squire Sean Roland (another member of Circle 801) have just become 1st Degree members of Holy Cross Council! We hope to have them on board as counselors effective immediately.
