Robert Collins Jr.

I joined the order in 1983 at Lafayette Council #3970 and am currently a member of Gilmore Council #310 in Mayfield Heights. I am a member of Bishop Hoban Assembly #1407. I served 16 years as a State Director under the leadership of eight State Deputies before my election to State Warden. 

As State Warden my responsibility is the 2008 Measure Up Campaign. The campaign will kick off this winter with the “Gimme 5” Campaign. Members are asked to donate an additional $5 to this fund with their annual dues.

 I am the Recording Secretary of the Ohio Charity Foundation. I have further responsibility to the State Council to record and publish the minutes of the State Officers meetings.

 I have added responsibility this fraternal year and will serve as the Chairman of the Marian Hour of Prayer to honor Our Lady of Charity, the Patroness of Cuba. The icons will travel throughout the 73 districts in Ohio from September 2007 thru October of 2008.

 I am employed by Graebel Companies, Inc. a worldwide relocation service company.
