Grand Knight’s Message – Brother Knights, along with the nicer weather, we are starting to experience, comes the seasonal responsibilities. It's time to do the yard work, run 

the children or grand-children to their activities and maybe even plan a vacation. Our Brotherhood also has different responsibilities as the seasons change. This is our 

"Election of Officers" time of year.  It was brought to a motion and passed at our last meeting to retain all elected and appointed officers for another year. Congratulations and

 thank you for a job well done. I am looking forward to continue working with you for another year. We are only one member away from achieving Star Council for this year.

 To make it easier for recruited men to receive their First Degree, we need to get our First Degree team certified. You do not have to be an officer to be a part of the team. If you

can help out our council in this area we would be thankful. Terry Dunne has been gracious enough to open his house to us for a Knights of Columbus family picnic on June 21.  

Details will be worked out at the next meeting, please bring any suggestions or recommendations for discussion. If anyone has suggestions for other K. of C. or family activities

 please contact our social committee members, Mark Grossbauer or Brian Philip. God Bless. - John W. Kelly, G.K.     

 

Fraternal Report – Kindly remember in your prayers those Brother Knights and their family members who are ill and/or recuperating at home or in the hospital especially Judy Tanzosh, wife of GK Bill Tanzosh. Also, please continue to remember and pray for the souls of the deceased members and their families. Remember, one of the most important ways Knights support each other is through prayer, especially at times of illness or death. Anyone knowing of a member of this council or a council member’s family who is sick or in need of assistance should contact any council officer.

 

Membership – Anyone knowing of a prospective new member should contact Membership Chairman PGK Bill Tanzosh at 610-759-3161.

 

Rose and Rosary Presentations – Monthly presentations of a rose, Rosary and Rosary ring to the mothers of infants being baptized are held at  Holy Family. Volunteers are always welcome to conduct or assist in conducting the presentations. Call Terry Dunne at 610-746-2676

 

Insurance News– Our  K of C Insurance field representative is John J. Matusel, who reminds all Brother Knights that the more things change the more they stay the same. This maxim certainly holds true with life insurance planning. If someone earns an income to support a family, family-income protection through life insurance is of utmost importance. John will happily provide all Brother Knights with a no-obligation family needs analysis. Contact 570-654-3380.
