Brother Knight,
Last week we sent an email to our members requesting that
each complete form 1728a. If you did not receive a copy here is a (link to form1728a). After it opens, you may need to
click on the download icon to edit the form.
The Annual Survey of Fraternal Activities (Form 1728) is
one of the most important forms that a Council is required to complete.
It helps the Knights of Columbus retain its tax status. Each Council
member should report their volunteer hours to their Council on Form 1728a.
Report only your hours, devoted to charitable work and community service,
outside Council programs. The Council’s report includes members’
time participating in Council activities.
Use only the left half of the form under “COUNCIL
HOURS”. Fourth Degree members should report their Assembly hours
separately. Report your hours for the 2024 calendar year. The form is a
fillable online pdf. To make an entry just click on the box that best
describes an activity and type in your hours. The totals update
automatically. Also here is a (link to a list) of suggestions for
reporting you may find helpful in making your entries. An estimate of
your hours for each activity is acceptable. Should you find working with
the form too cumbersome and wish to include your hours donated for a charitable
activity, just send me an email with the charity, activity and your hours and I
will include them in the council totals.
Please attach your completed form to an email or text
message and return it to me by January 21st. Or if you prefer,
print the form and return it to me at our meeting on Tuesday, January
21st.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Hi Brother Knights,
ReplyDeleteGirl Scout Cookie season is back! And my daughter, who is a Girl Scout, is selling them again this year. For those with a sweet tooth and no other Girl Scout outlet, please consider supporting my daughter, Olivia's, troop experience this year by visiting her cookie site and purchasing some cookies. Or just make a donation if you would like to just support her.
You may notice some of the cookie names have changed this year. There are two bakeries that are licensed to produce GS cookies, ABC Bakeries and Little Brownie Bakeries. This year, Olivia's troop is selling cookies ABC Bakeries. They are all still delicious. New to this year is a chocolate chip cookie variety and a cookie inspired by French Toast. Check it out at the following link:

You can choose to have your cookies shipped to you or for Olivia to drop them off at your place.
Thank you for your support!
