A new fraternal year is upon us.  Congratulations to the newly elected Grand Knights and Deputy Grand Knight, as well as the other entire dedicated brother Knights who will serve in either an elected and appointed leadership position in the new Columbian year.  I’m sure you have a list of goals and objectives that you intend to accomplish during the coming year.  You have my assurance that as your Field Agent I am eager to help.

To attain the Star Council status it is a yearlong commitment as well as the most prestigious award the Order offers at the council level.  As your Field Agent I am certainly committed to help determine how many Fraternal Benefits Nights you will want to conduct in your council during the fraternal year, and to work hand in hand with your membership committee. As well, I am committed to helping on the insurance side, but will be equally as glad to help on the membership side as well

If you know an eligible Catholic man who might be interested in joining the Order (and who among us doesn’t), he’s probably just waiting to be asked.  We can help you, either by approaching him or by “coaching” you – transferring sales skills that you can use to recruit him and other prospects.  As always, I am at your service.

Let’s get an early start to attain your council’s goals and objectives that are so critical to the growth of your council.

To make this fiscal 2012-2013 year “Your Shield for Life”. “The knight’s shield has long been a symbol of strength and honor,” Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson “And those are exactly the words that best describe the Knights of Columbus insurance program.  Especially in difficult economic times, our exceptional strength and our long history of integrity and service to brother Knights and their families, remind everyone that we provide the best protection available.” “ Your Shield for Life”.
