Schedule of Events

Doors open at 5:00 pm on January 15, 2027 at the Stafford Centre. Plan to check-in between 5:00-6:00 pm. Program and dinner starts at 6:30 pm.

Table Assignments

The Grand Knight or designated representative is responsible for disseminating the seating information to their respective attendees and guests. Table assignments will be emailed to the Grand Knight or designated representative of the council listed on the registration form beginning Sunday, January 3rd, 2027.

Check in tables will be set up in the lobby to help clergy and guests find their respective table assignments and location of the tables.

Make sure you inform clergy of your designated table assignment(s), especially if you want them sitting at your table.

Table Placements

The decision as to the location of where your council will be seated is as follows:

1. Seat placement is based on when your payment for the registration is received; “first-come, first served” basis.
2. Payments received by mail or e-mail will be considered received by the date and time stamp of the e-mail or 5:00 pm of the postage date on the envelope.
3. Any forms received that do not include payment will be given 14 calendar days to remit payment.
4. Any council that does not pay for tickets within 14 days of of submitting their registration form (including the date postage is cancelled) will have their RESERVATION VOIDED and will need to re-register.

Guardian Angel Sponsorship

In addition to seat reservations, we invite councils to consider becoming a Guardian Angel Sponsor. The proceeds from this sponsorship help underwrite banquet costs for religious order or retired priests who are not affiliated with a council or parish.

Guardian Angel sponsorships are independent donations from council seat reservations and are an additional cost option on the seat reservation form. Guardian Angel sponsorship donations are $100 per table (ten seats).

Those councils that sponsor a table will be given priority placement for their current table assignments. For example: If a council has forty members and guests, and they all want to sit in the same immediate area, sponsorship of tables will facilitate that placement. If tables are not sponsored, seating will be prioritized by receipt of payment for seats.
