Do not forget to let Gene know about your good works

 We were just talking about this last night in the Officer's meeting!  From the Oregon State Council:

"In 2021-2022, Knights stepped up with more than 48 million hours of volunteer service. Each one makes the world a better place - and helps form men of greater purpose and service. A higher calling summons you each and every moment, and hour. Learn more at kofc.org."
How do we know this number for the entire order? In December and January, we ask men to fill out a survey about the volunteering work they do. That gets turned in as a part of our annual survey as a council. All councils turn this in, and it takes this long to process them all. By doing this survey, we justify our status as a 501c(8) nonprofit.
EVERYTHING you do as a Knight counts, even if it is a more individual volunteering opportunity like being Eucharistic Minister to the Homebound, helping out a neighbor, or being there for a suffering friend. Think Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy- it all counts. Sure, sometimes we're involved in very showy things like a breakfast at Mass or like what the Polish councils are doing for Ukrainian refugees, and those matter too, but those are reported in a different way. So let us know when that survey comes out in December.
