February and March State Contest: Spring into COH Your chance to compete against yourself and catch up on your quest for Circle of Honor. Get 20% or more of the quota in these two months and win prizes as long as you are net/net positive at the end of the two month period. Get 10% or more of the quota in February and win a bonus: Reach 10% Goal by Feb. 28 (20% bonus) Divisions I and II: $1,000 Bonus: $200 Divisions III and IV: $750 Bonus: $150 Divisions V and VI: $500 Bonus: $100 -------------- My brothers, we would have to be net/net to get this. This means we'd have to basically find one man in February and one man in March to bring into our council. I believe we're so small we're Division VI, but that could be $600 for our coffers. If you know anybody, let me know and we'll either get them to degrees in Sherwood on February 21, or we will hold a St. Patrick's Day/Venerable Fr. McGivney Founder's Month 1st Degree on March 16.

Your Grand Knight has been sick, so I gave it a few extra days. In the end, we had to extrapolate from an extremely small sample- only 20% of our council responded to the survey, despite repeated calls to respond. However, based on an extrapolation from there, as well as using the records I had of events we did, we more than doubled the amount of charitable work and giving we did in 2014 over 2013. Your council gave over $3000 to charity (a big boost was from the Baby Bottle drives at St. John Fisher and St. Clare's) and together, you gave over 4000 hours of volunteer work. Congratulations on a great year, John Clare Council!
