Assistance Needed for Our Council's
January BBQ Cook This Weekend

 

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OUR BBQ COOK TEAMS AND COOK SCHEDULE .  WE NEED ASSISTANCE FROM ANY AVAILABLE KNIGHT FOR THIS WEEKEND'S BBQ PREPARATION AND COOK.

 

IF YOU CAN ASSIST WITH THE PREPARATION ON SATURDAY MORNING, THE ACTUALLY COOKING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, OR WITH SALES AFTER ANY OF SUNDAY'S MASSES, PLEASE CONTACT BROTHER RAY CAMEL AT 281-865-7216.

 

PLEASE STOP BY OUR SALES AREA AFTER THE MASS YOU ATTEND AND HELP FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SUPPORT OUR CHARITIES WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF SOME OF THE FOOD COOKED BY YOUR BROTHER KNIGHTS'.

 

Additional Knights Needed for Our Council's
BBQ Cook & Sales Teams
Brother Knights,
 
The BBQ Cook/Sales Teams list has been updated and there are many blanks.  This monthly activity is the primary fundraiser for the Council.  

We have three teams and if each team is full, you'd only have to work a cook every three months. Please consider joining a cook team.

Also, we're trying to add a sales group so the cook folks don"t feel they have to be there all day.  Additionally, Fr. Joseph has asked us to try selling after the Sunday PM mass.

If you want to add your name or have any questions, e-mail Mike Appling at:  MRAPPLING1@ATT.NET
 
Thanks.

Link for Council 7445 Meeting Minutes
Brother Knights,

We are trying to dispense with the reading of the minutes at the business meetings in an effort to save time.  On the other hand, the minutes are an official record of these meetings and Council members should be able to access them.  

Please try the attached link to make sure you can open the file and let the GK know if there are problems with the link. (You may have to copy and paste it in your browser)


Council 7445 Roster
Brother Knights,

Br. Ken Kendricks and myself are PGK's from other councils and we are used to having a roster handy to use for contacting our Brother Knights in the Council, whether by phone, e-mail or going to their house. (Not to mention becoming familiar with their wives first names to help foster a more closely knit Council)

This roster would be directly e-mailed to each member of the council. Your name and the information that is included would be only what you supply.
If you want to be on the roster, please email mean any of the following information that you want to be included in the Council 7445 Roster: Name, home address, home phone #, cell #, preferred email address and wife's name if married.

If you do not want to be on the roster, please email me stating that so we do not have to contact you for a response.

I will also have a copy of the sign-up sheet at the next several Officer and Business meetings.

Thanks, Brother Mike Appling
 
KC Insurance
Do You Have a Long-Term Care Plan?

 

LTC Is an Important Piece of the Puzzle

 

There are many financial consultants and retirement authorities who emphasize the need for a long-term care (LTC) product for estate preservation and family protection. While many commercial life insurance companies have gotten out of the long-term care business, the Knights of Columbus considers LTC a very important piece of the family protection puzzle. The Order has been actively offering our members this product for over 15 years without a premium increase on current policyholders. Members who wisely purchased an LTC plan from the Knights in 2000 are still paying the same premiums today. Even better, our LTC coverage is backed by the full strength of the Order, which remains rooted in our strong Catholic values. Talk about stability when it counts.

 

If you have not considered your need for LTC coverage in your family portfolio or would like to see if you do qualify for a LTC policy, please take some time out of your schedule to meet with me.

 

Remember, long-term care policies are underwritten based on your health, and you most likely will never be healthier than you are today.

2019 Annual Council 7445 Dues

 

All Brother Knights of Council 7445 should have received their 2019 Annual Dues Statement.  If you have not sent in your payment, please do so to avoid a future notice having to be sent and save the council this expense.  You may also pay your dues at this weekend's BBQ Cook/Sales or either of this month's two meetings.

 

If you have any questions or need financial assistance, please contact Our Council's Financial Secretary, Brother Arthur Hausler at 281-633-1643 or hauslerpaint@att.net.
