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. 

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)


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.
