Fraternal Year Ending — Star Council Award Goals

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE “Your Shield For Life”.

Fraternal Year Ending — Star Council Award Goals

Now is the time to be looking and taking stock of attaining your council’s coveted Star Council Award Goals. The June 30, 2012 deadline is coming very soon. I will help you in any way I can to meet those goals for the 2011-2012 Fraternal Year. I’m currently committed to helping on the insurance side, but I’ll be 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. I can help you either by approaching him myself, or by “coaching” you – transferring sales skills that you can use to recruit him and other prospects. As always, I’m at your service.

Let’s continue our momentum in attaining those goals and objectives that are so critical to the growth of your council : Recruitment, Insurance Members, and Council Activities.

With all of us working together – our fraternal leaders and our professional insurance force, we can help the Order’s continued growth and obtain the coveted Star Council Award !!!

Please contact me for any help I can offer you.

Brotherly yours,

Victims Rights Rally at the State Capitol

Victims Rights Rally at the State CapitolOn April 24, 2012, two Knights from our Council participated in the third annual Victims Rights Rally at the State Capitol. This event was part of California Crime Victims Rights Month. Pictured are Bill Jackson (a relatively new member) and Dale Edwards (PGK and current Treasurer). They were asked by Fr. Kiernan at the Cathedral to help out by handing out information about the Catholic churches program called Restorative Justice which serves to provide healing to crime victims. The event at the capitol was made quite poignantly by the placement of hundreds of large photos of murder victims. If you would like more information on this event, go to:
