Brother Knights,

Our next meeting is Monday, June 1^st in the PLC.  Rick Ooten has invited Lisa Samuel to talk with us about the Knights support with the Parish Blood Drives.  She will be talking to us at 7:00, prior to the meeting, and our meeting will begin at 7:30 PM and food will be served at 6:30 PM.

 

At our last meeting, we grew by 3 new members when Patrick Spring, Tom McGrath, and Len Contardo went through their 1^st Degree.  Join me in welcoming them to the Knights.

This Sunday, St. Benedict will be hosting a traveling youth choir on their way to Florida.  They will be singing at the Saturday Mass and the 8:45 Mass that Sunday.  We will be serving them breakfast (pacakes, bacon, fruit, etc) at 7:30 AM.  So far we have 11 members signed up to help, starting at 6:00 AM.  Joe Losurdo (joe@tgedirect.com) will be chairing this and will need all your help.  Please keep this day open on your calendar. 

 

Congratulations to Patrick Spring, James Barkett and Jamieson Canata for completing their 2^nd Degree this week.  The next 3^rd Degree will be on June 6^th at Good Sheppard in Cumming, if you are interested in attending, please let me know.  The next 2^nd Degree will be June 20^th at St. Brigit in Alpharetta.

 

Please remember to set up a time to talk with Joe Noa, our Field Agent, about the various insurance products the Knights has to offer (Whole life, term, annuities, long term care, etc.).  During the troubling financial climate, the Knights Products continue to be among the highest ranked in the industry and are showing strong stability.  There is a new product that is being offered to all Knights which is a new member annuity.  In addition to being offered to new Knights, it is being offered to any member who is not currently part of the insurance program.  Set up a time to talk with Joe, as he can provide more information on this and all the other offerings.

 

Below is the calendar of events for the remainder of the fraternal year, and the contact list of officers.  Thank you for all your hard work this year.  Lets keep the momentum going as we close out this year, and prepare for the next one.
