Social Activities

Each Fourth Degree Assembly schedules a number of social events during the year that involve the ladies. At least one dinner meeting is dedicated to the wives, mothers, girlfriends, and sisters of the assembly members. Most Assemblies hold anniversary banquets at which the ladies are honored guests. This is also true of memorial services for deceased members and for ceremonial occasions. The ladies are always invited to installation ceremonies for assembly officers. These social occasions afford the Sir Knights of the Fourth Degree and their ladies to become personally acquainted with members of councils represented in the assembly.

There are no hard and fast rules concerning dress for ladies, rather, the inherent good taste of the ladies is the best guide for them in choosing the proper attire for a given occasion. For major social, or ceremonials events, many ladies choose to appear in formal wear. Others are comfortable in cocktail dresses. Some select suits or dresses which they consider appropriate for the occasion. The wise Sir Knight judiciously avoids any attempt to dictating to the ladies, especially in an area in which the ladies are better equipped to decide.
