  I received a phone call yesterday from a sister at St. Clare following up a conversation I had with her at St. Clare during our last breakfast event asking for our help in moving some belongings into a U Haul truck on Saturday morning, March 8th. Please post an announcement for volunteers to assist. Here is my understanding of the scope of the job- Loading activity only:  U Haul will be unloaded by someone else in Woodburn. Address on SW 74 th  Avenue in the Garden Home area. (I will ask her for the address). All belongings are on the main floor, street level.  I am told the belongings will all be boxed up. There are a clothes washer/dryer machines (need appliance dolly) Sounds too good to be true. Thanks, Mike Devlin 503-901-5407

Worthy Brother Knights, I wanted to double-check and make sure everyone was aware that every Wednesday at 7pm is an online Fraternal Benefit Event put on by our General Agent Cicero Seisdedos. Website is here: https://www.kofcpacific.com/ fbn/ This is a great way to learn more information about the benefits the Knights of Columbus has to offer and will also count towards the Founder's Award. Just make sure to submit the Form 11077 within 7 days of the event as well. Please share this information with your councils as they might want to attend as well. Reminder that State emails only go as far as GKs and FSs, not to all 9,500 members in the State. So please forward these emails to your council members. -- Kenneth J.

Worthy Brother Knights, I was spending some time in Adoration a month or so ago and something came to me in my mind and heart: to lead a Statewide Consecration to St. Joseph. I believe this would be a very powerful experience. I am very excited to share this with everyone! Here are some details: 1. This is a 33 day preparation using the book by Fr. Donald Calloway (information below). We'll begin on February 15th and make the Act of Consecration on March 19th, the Feast of St. Joseph. 2. The readings will be predominantly on your own. It will consist of a 2 page daily section and also refer you to some further reading. Some of the further reading sections can be a little longer, so prepare for that. 3. We will have weekly conference calls on Thursdays at 7pm starting Feb 13th as an introductory call. These weekly conference calls will consist of reading the daily section and discussing the content from the past week. It will also help us hold each other accountable. If you can...
