Different Life Stages, Changing Needs

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE “Your Shield For Life”.

Different Life Stages, Changing Needs

You may have a long-range expense for which you are saving, such as college for your children. You may be concerned about a comfortable, worry-free retirement. You may want to protect your ability to earn a living. You may wonder if needing costly long-term care will deplete your hard-earned assets. You want to leave something for your wife, children, or grandchildren. At some point you may have had all of these needs on your mind. Over time, these thoughts make way for others as your needs evolve, your finances change and you get older. What is important to you at age 20, may not be at 30, or 45, or 65. What is the best way to be prepared for these changes before they happen?

One of the easiest ways to be financially ready for changes that come with different life stages is to meet annually with your professional Knights of Columbus agent, and address the needs that his analysis uncovers. This can help you be ready to face the financial challenges and issues on the road ahead. During that annual visit, I’ll take the time to review your needs, goals, and budget. I’ll update all beneficiaries on your policies and be sure your coverage meets your needs. I’ll recommend a program of life insurance, long-term care,and guaranteed retirement products that will help you rest easy at night. Whatever your needs, whatever your concerns, whatever your stage in life, I can help.

Let’s get together as soon as possible.

Brotherly yours,

Council, Knight of the Month

Knights of the Month March 2012

Knights of the Month March 2012

We had two Knights of the Month for March, George Mills and Matthew Lucien

George Mills Knight of the Month March 2012
George Mills Knight of the Month

This Knight has been described as “very reliable”. He seems to help with almost every events/project that our council is involved in. He has always said yes when asked to help. If you didn’t see him setting up for anyone of our councils events, by getting raffle prizes, or serving your meals, it was probably because he was attending it as a paying guest. He was a huge assistance to Brother Dominic and myself with past Chili Cook-Offs.

He is an RCIA instructor at St. Mary Parish and also organized a Walk for Life bus from said parish. He has served our council for approx 9 years and is a 4th degree Sir Knight and member of our color core.
His past and current designations include past grand knight, Sir Knight, zippy bun chairman, current financial secretary and is a member of our 1st degree team. He has been a huge help as a resource -to me personally during my tenure as Grand Knight. He is non other than Sir Knight George Mills.

Matthew Lucien Knight of the Month March 2012
Matthew Lucien Knight of the Month

This next Knight is not to be overshadowed by our co- Knight of the month. One Knight said it best by stating that this Brother Knight is “stoutly”. The definition being: having or marked by boldness, bravery, firm and resolute. Solid or substantial. I couldn’t agree more.

Since joining our council back in 2000, This Brother Knight has held many designations with our council PGK, 4 term Former District Deputy, 4th degree Sir Knight, current community director, and is part of our 1st and second degree teams, sometimes- like today DGK stand in.

Some Knights focus their charities or volunteer hours to only their home parish. Not this Knight. In fact, one of the biggest compliments i heard regarding this fellow Knight, is that he has ALWAYS supported multiple parish events and activities, regardless if they’re his home parish or not.
weather it was chairing ladies night for the umpteenth year (i can’t seem get a straight number out of anybody), or working the zippy bun booth, chili cook off, participating in the ID program or Wheelchair program, the list goes on and on.

It is with great pride to announce Sir Knight Matthew Lucien as co- Knights of the Month March 2012!

Council, Grand Knight

This council could not be as great as it is, if it were not for the efforts of those Knights of the past or this current generation of Knights and Officers, doing what they do best… serving. It’s up to us to find tomorrow’s Knights, tomorrow’s Officers to help carry the principles of our organization and specifically, our council. Thank you to all of you past and present, and to tomorrows Knights, Welcome.

Health & Human Services Mandate – It’s not about contraception
You may have heard about this mandate that is being fought by our shepherds, the Bishops.  It is important for each of you to understand that the Bishops are not fighting this mandate because the Church has taught that there are better ways of regulating fertility than through contraception and sterilization.  The Bishops are fighting this because the mandate because it violates the religious liberty of all of us, Catholic or otherwise.
I hope you will spend some time to learn about by visiting www.usscb.org/conscience where you can find a number of resources as well as a very easy way to write to our representatives in Congress to protest this mandate.
