Council Awards


Council #3744 has maintained a tradition of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism in its programs and services from its founding in 1953.  Each of our active members and their families are greatly valued for the special talents they share with the Council. To recognize extraordinary involvement by members, the following awards (among others) are presented each year:

Knight of the Year recognizes an individual Brother Knight for outstanding dedication and service to the Council

Family of the Year honors a Brother Knight and his family that exemplifies the fullest practice of Columbianism


Council Awards Dinner for 2022/2023 Columbian Year
