GRAND KNIGHTS MESSAGE Brother Knights The past month has been rather quiet insofar as council activity is concerned. That's not to say that things weren't happening. On the contrary, we have elected a full slate of officers for the upcoming year and it's a very impressive group of brother knights. Details regarding the actual installation of these newly elected officers will be announced very shortly and will be posted in the KC Korner of the Sunday bulletin. Watch for the announcement and then make plans to attend this important event to show support for the brothers who'll be leading us for the next year. INSURANCE CORNER Leaving a TAX FREE INHERITANCE to Your Children or Grandchildren Brother Knights and families, I'm often asked what the most effective way is to leave an inheritance, or a legacy to survivors. The answer is single premium life insurance, of course! Let's “think outside the box” for a moment! Life insurance is the most effective and efficient way of leaving a legacy to those you love. Why? Because life insurance automatically leverages the amount of money that you will leave your loved ones. his legacy is tax free while bypassing probate, too! Let's explore the two types of life insurance policies that will accomplish this: 1. The past Grand Knight's dinner was an enjoyable evening of socializing and excellent dining. We had a nice turnout of knights and wives and great conversation. The evening culminated with an award ceremony to recognize the brothers who chaired our various events during the year. It was gratifying for me to acknowledge the efforts of these brothers who were responsible for the success of this years council activity. Finally, it was my pleasure to introduce our Family of the Year, Rocky Vandal, his wife Noami, and their son Antonio, a most deserving and impressive family. And lastly, I was honored to introduce our Knight of the Year, a tireless and dedicated worker, Frank Schultz. If you missed this years dinner, keep it in mind for next year. I want to emphasize that this dinner is for all knights and their guests not just the officers. We'd be thrilled to see more of you there and rest assured, you'll enjoy the experience. Meanwhile, we're entering a traditionally slow period of activity for the council but mark your calendars for our annual KC family picnic on August 11th at the Casey Lake Park Pavilion. More news on that will be announced as we get nearer the date. With grateful appreciation to all brother knights......... Vivat Jesus! Denny 2. Single Premium Whole Life: a policy funded by one premium only. This type of policy multiplies the tax free benefit payable to your loved ones. Another benefit is that you still have access to your original outlay (cash value)! In fact, your cash value is guaranteed to make you a profit if you choose to access it while you're still alive. It may very well provide you with a higher interest rate than CD's and other savings vehicles. Survivorship Life: another type of policy funded by one premium only. This policy is designed to provide a maximum tax free benefit to your loved ones. It's great for those people who know that they have no need for access to the policy cash value in their later years. This policy actually insures a husband and wife together and pays out on the second death. What do you think your children would prefer? A nominal amount of money or a leveraged tax free benefit? Contact me to see if a Knights of Columbus life insurance legacy plan will work for you (maximum age: 80 years old. Underwriting is required).

It is incredible what we can accomplish when we pull together. MEMBERSHIP DUES We still have a few members that have not paid their dues yet and we are closing the fraternal year.
