MEMORANDUM FOR:
Commanders, Counselors
Grand Knights and Grand Ladies
SUBJECT: 22nd BIENNIAL JUNIOR NATIONAL CONVENTION
The Twenty-Second Biennial National Convention of the Junior Knights and Junior Daughters will be held July 6 - 9, 2017
at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center – 2345 McGee Street, Kansas City, Missouri, 64108. Our theme for this
convention is, “Juniors United Now In One Relationship Service!” A phenomenal opportunity to exchange ideas, share
programs and projects, and to enrich the minds of our Juniors and their contribution to the Knights of Peter Claver, we
enthusiastically invite participation from each of our Junior Branches and Junior Courts in this worthwhile endeavor.
We request units read the entire communication and follow all rules, regulations, guidelines, and deadlines. Because the
Order is responsible for the safety and well-being of our young people to and from the National Convention, it is imperative
that there is ample adult supervision through approved chaperones at all times. Further, if any Juniors are known to have
physical and/or emotional problems that would prevent them from adhering to the guidelines and regulations as set by the
Order, then they should not be brought to the convention without specialized supervision.
CONVENTION INFORMATION
1. Unit Eligibility. All Branches and Junior Courts must be financial to participate in the convention. Because inactive
units will not be allowed to participate, Grand Knights, Grand Ladies, Commanders, and Counselors are responsible for
