What did you do as a Knight in the past year?

Supreme and your Council Leadership want to know!  There's a new form to fill out, called the Individual Fraternal Survey Worksheet.  We need these returned, by e-mail or on paper, by January 21 so that we can compile the answers onto our council report by January 21st.

We have numbers for anything that was a true Council Event.  But you do much more as a Knight.  Inspired by your Knighthood, you gather friends and family into a variety of charitable causes.    You give money, you visit the sick, you serve at Mass in various forms of ministries.  You are the backbone of the church- what Matthew Kelly calls the 7.5% who do 90% of the work.  This is the time to brag about that!  Doing so helps our order keep our tax exempt status as a 501c8 organization.

Click here to go to the PDF form that you can print out, or fill out online.  Some browsers are incapable of filling it out online, but you can always print it out and bring it to our next meeting on Tuesday, January 21st at 7pm.
