Brother Knights;
The month of October has come and gone. The good news is that we are right where we need to be in the running for the “Circle of Honor”. To put it in perspective we are somewhere in the range of 26% to 28% of our intake goal for the month alone. That’s right! This is your “Team” and you can do it! Thank you to all who have made our small State shine. I ask that all councils stay involved in their church and communities. Be as active as you can be. Look for new ways by thinking “Outside of the Box”. Try to focus on programs will help draw new members in and bring members back. Ask your membership team and council members what type of programs they would like to run and see in their communities. Both the State Membership Director and I have traveled extensively throughout the State and the one thing that I have noticed in each of the Councils is, Pride within each Council. Remember these are the types of enthusiasm that will prevail and get us through the hard times. Remember you can do it. Recruitment Drives in every parish that you cover can offer new opportunities along with “Open Houses” and “informational Nights”, and using those time to offer other opportunities, like after Mass or later in the afternoons or after Mass. Whether your Council is small or large you all have a huge part on our “Team”. www.kofc.org www.kofc399.org www.esgjrconsultinginc.com to learn more
