Brothers, Sir Knights, Family, and Friends,
Please read below as we have a few items coming up fast as we wind down the current Fraternal Year.
-
We need your support and commitment to our Council as we are now planning our next Fraternal Year and have met already. The major order of business to be discussed at our next meeting is the Election of Council Officers. Our Fraternal year-end is fast approaching and we must elect officers to keep our council active and viable.
-
Mothers day is just about a month away... Sunday, May 9, 2021. PGK Sal Longo has graciously volunteered to chair the event. PGK Sal is reaching out to the members to ensure we have at least two brothers to hand out the carnations after every Mass.
-
We are expanding our mailing list, especially during the current and post-pandemic environment, we must leverage digital communication strategies.

Please join our Council meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, April, May, and June meetings are especially critical as we need to define our slate of officers and elect new officers. I know that it is difficult to commit in uncertain times, but if we have no officers, we have no council!
Vivat Jesu!
