Knights of Columbus, Council 11746

As Memorial Day approaches, my thoughts turn to this important day of remembrance. I hope you take some time to reflect on the liberties and freedom we all share due to those who sacrificed for you and me. This is an important holiday, whose meaning should never be forgotten. This is also the week that I send one of my periodic mini-checklists, asking my fellow Knights and clients to indicate areas of interest. I know that you're aware that my work is focused in the financial services field. This checklist pertains to potentially reducing income taxes pertaining to financial products and services.  View the quick checklist Sincerely, Russell J.

Dear Worthy Brothers - By the end of next week, you will receive an email providing you with the list of nominees for the elected offices of the Council. At the close of the meeting last night, we did not have a nominee for DGK; however, that is no longer the case.  Though we closed the nominations as presented, the DGK position was still open, and the person who has opted to take that office will be officially nominated and voted for at our June meeting.  his name will appear in the email you will receive with the other names For those of you who are curious, no office is being contested by two or more candidates, so as a result there is only one person running per elected office.  I do want to extend my gratitude and congratulations to all of the nominees.  Your future tenures in the offices you will be holding will be rewarding, and I hope for all of you, it will bring lots of fun, a few laughs, and lots of support from your PGKs and Trustees. There will be some sad times too, but t

Dear Brother Knights, and Michelle and Liz in the ADMIN Office at St. Francis of Assisi: Attached is the finalized Calendar for the St. Francis K of C Council 11746 for the next operational year, whose dates were set in the computer by Michelle earlier this month.  The only date still needing confirmation from the American Red Cross is the Blood Drive date in May 2023; otherwise, all dates are firm as of earlier this month.       I trust there have been no changes in the dates already scheduled and confirmed earlier this month, by anyone besides Michelle, that has access to the date setting software on the parish computers, as we take great pains at setting these dates way in advance, so they are known by all.  Should something happen or there be a special reason the K of C needs to reschedule due to a special Parish or Diocesan event that must preempt one of our events, please contact the new Grand Knight regarding any potential conflict at least 30 days in advance, so the potential c

Dear Worthy Brothers: Breakfast Serving times have changed. Glenn Harahan and I are not attending the State Convention on May 13/14/15.  It was decided earlier this year not to attend, and then my health issues popped up last month, and I cannot drive that far.   The new incoming Grand Knight will need to decide if he wants a catered dinner or hors d'oeuvres or nothing after the Installation of Officers on 9 June 2022.  He should start to consider this, once nominations are read on 12 May.  The Past Grand Knights, Trustees, and the current Grand Knight are available to provide guidance.
