Brothers,

I would like to bring to your attention an extremely difficult situation our council is going through at this time. Our dues were due on January 1st, 2019, as of today February 17 we have collected from only two thirds of the council members. As such, I am appealing specifically to those of you who are currently in arrears with your dues payments. Please send your payment in as soon as possible. Our council is in a difficult position, we have to take funds which are earmarked for the charities that we support, and having to use those funds to pay your dues to Chapter 24, State of NJ, and Supreme Councils. I believe, that a catholic gentleman, knowing that if you do not pay your dues to our council, our council still has to pay them for you, you would step up and make good on your commitment. If you find yourself in a difficult financial situation however, please, do not hesitate to contact me via our council's phone number (929-4-5959-50) so that I can make arrangements for your dues payment to be forgiven until.

On this Wednesday, February 20th we will have a committee meeting 7:30 PM to discuss the PGK Frank Comune Communion Breakfast. If you are on the committee, please prioritize this meeting on your busy schedule as we have lots of loose ends to retie. See note from PGK Bob below, our breakfast chairman for a detailed account of the help we need during that very busy weekend. Click here to signup!

On March 3, 2019 we will have the next Blood Drive, donation hours are from 8 AM though 1 PM. If you can help with setup and during the drive, please let us know by reply to this email, or call our council phone number 929-4-5959-50. Click here to register!
