RE: Corporate Communion

Brother Knights,

 

Attached is the list for those who signed up to visit Brother Jerry Ball at White Oak Manor.  As you can see there are still a few openings for visits so please consider spending some time with Jerry.  His family would really appreciate it. 

 

Deacon Henry Bernal from Divine Saviour in York commented yesterday that this effort is truly an outpouring of fraternity from the Knights.

Brothers we need your help.

Dear Brothers,

As you may know each year the Council works to make Star Council. In order to accomplish this we must meet a variety of criteria established by Supreme. This includes earning the Father Mc Givney award for membership Recruitment. The Colombian Award, councils must complete at least four programs in each of the six Colombian Award categories.  Plus we are required to the get the Founder's Award. To get the Founders award the council must make our Insurance Quota. By meeting all this criteria and achieving Star Council we benefit in a number of ways. Most importantly the per Capita we must pay to Supreme bi annually is eliminated saving the Council approximately $1,200.00. This savings allows the council to do more with the money we save throughout the year.

So far this fraternal year the council has achieved everything we need except one item. Currently we are falling short with our insurance quota. To help Councils achieve Star Council, Supreme has reinstituted the $100.00 Annuity Program. Normally $300.00 is required to begin the Annuity Program. This is a great way to start or to enhance your retirement program without breaking the bank. This special program is open to all Brothers who have less than 10 years of service.

If you are interested in purchasing this annuity please contact our Financial Secretary Geary Bradley, at 803-3727806 or email him at bradleygm2000@gmail.com me at 703-626-5035 or email me at honeydewcontr@msn.com. We will need to have your application and check for $100.00 by May 15th.  You will not only help the council but will helping yourself build a better future for yourself and your family.
