Grand Knights Message
4th Degree Happenings
Rod McNeill
Mike Hogan
Greetings Brothers,
Sunday, Oct 3: 4th Deg Breakfast, 6 a.m. 4636 Hall,
Security. This is the only fund-raiser for the 4th Deg.
All Sir Knights should try to help. Contact Mike
Hogan.
We are back in full swing with our fellowship
ministry of providing a delicious taco dinner/breakfast
and an opportunity for gathering to our fellow
parishioners. Jeff Maschler’s and Tony Marcotte’s
teams did a great job as usual on the weekend of 25/26
Sep. Our next opportunity to serve is 31 October
2004. Please start thinking about how you may be
able to help our council in this effort. Once we have
moved into our new church, I think we will have an
opportunity to conduct these events more frequently
and hopefully in a bigger and more efficient
environment. If that happens, WE NEED MORE
TEAMS !!!!
Mike Hogan has again graciously volunteered
to host our Annual Council Christmas Party. It is
tentatively scheduled for 5 Dec 2004. Mark your
calendars and plan on attending this wonderful event.
I have contacted the local area Knight’s
Honor Guard representative and have asked them to
participate in our new church building dedication
event in December. Again, this is an opportunity for
the Knights to both help the parish and also give all
the Catholic Gentlemen in the church an opportunity
to see the Knights in action. I will provide more
details as to the extent of our council’s involvement at
the next business meeting.
Tootsie Roll Drive

Brother Knights
October is Mental Health Awareness Month and one
reason why we have the Tootsie Roll Drive at this
time. In October, we will have our last days of the
drive on the 9th and 10th. The location will change to
the WalMart on Woodmen Rd.
We will man two shifts per day. They are from 10am
to 12pm and 12pm to 2pm. Please look at your
calendars and support this important effort by calling
me at the above phone number and scheduling to
work one or more shifts.
Thanks, Dave Gage

"I know I need more life insurance". That's how the
father of three young children, profiled in the new
"Stages of Life" section of the Knights of Columbus
Web site (www.kofc.org) explains his situation. He
cites several reasons for delaying the purchase of
needed protection. In his heart, however, he knows
better and feels a little guilty. "Every time I see a life
insurance ad, I feel a little twinge of guilt", he says.
"Stages of life" is an interactive feature of the Knight's
web site offering visitors the opportunity to hear from
different people at different stages of their lives (from
just-out-of-college to recently widowed to newly
retired), talking about the importance of life
insurance. It is well worth logging on to check out.
The fact is most people need life insurance. As a
member of the Knights you are fortunate. You have a
professionally trained agent who will take the time to
determine exactly how much you need and how much
you can afford. By performing a thorough needs
analysis based on your needs, goals, and budget, he
can provide the financial protection that is right for
your family. He will do more than try to sell you a
policy, he will help you protect your family at a price
you can afford. Your council agent and friend is Mike
Balchus.
7. To enjoy with your family in your local council a
wide variety of social, cultural, and athletic
activities.
8. To have available to yourself and your family a
fraternal low-cost life and health insurance
program.
9. To qualify for college student loan and
scholarship programs for yourself and your family.
(Even after the death of the member, a spouse or
dependent may continue to qualify for these
benefits.)
10. To receive the Columbia magazine, the largest
Catholic monthly magazine in North America.
11. To be remembered with your family in a
monthly Mass offered by the Supreme Chaplain.
Deceased members are remembered in a daily Mass
at St Mary’s Church, the birthplace of the Order in
New Haven, CT.
Twelve Reasons Why You Should Be A

the message of Christ to the world by providing
