How quickly another year has gone by, It reminds me of the perpetual watchword of our order Tempus Fugit-Memento Mori (Time flies- Remember Death) Let us ask ourselves Am I doing all I can do to be a steadfast and Noble man? Do I deserve the promise of eternity in God s kingdom? I ask each Brother to resolve this coming year to become more involved in our council. We have been doing good things but there are so much more to do. Without the convention we will need lots of ideas to help raise funds for our charities. Come to the meetings and bring some ideas. Let us make 2011 an even better year than last. Remember Be Active, it s Why you have Joined!

Knight of the Month SCOTT MARINO Family of the Month DALE & GINNY FRASER
Brother Scott Marino has been a new member of our Council for only a few months and he has already shown dedication to being an asset to the council, getting active during the meetings and helping out on our First Sunday breakfasts. Brother Dale and his wife Ginny has been a long time member of both St. Henrys and our Council. Brother Dale being a member of the church choir and Ginny a member of the Catholic Daughters of America which is one of the most active groups at St. Henrys. Thank you Brothers for being good examples of both our faith and our fraternal council. From our Council s Insurance Agent Tempus Fugit. Time flies. The older we get, the more that statement seems to ring true. Especially as we prepare to ring in another new year. I hope that 2010 was a healthy, prosperous year for you and your family. If you re like most people, you ve made some resolutions for the New Year. If I may, I d like to add to your list of resolutions by two. First, write them down. A resolution is really a goal for the year and, until you commit a goal to writing, it s nothing more than a wish. So write your resolutions down. Whether they be to lose weight, contribute more time and money to charity, read more or watch less television, you re more likely to stick to them if you write them down. Second, schedule some time to visit with me, your professional Knights of Columbus Field Agent. The insurance check-up that I ll provide (free of charge, by the way!) will quickly identify any gaps in your family s life insurance program. And you ll want to fill those gaps now, not later. Unlike many other products, you need more than just money to obtain life insurance. You also need good health, and no one will ring a bell to warn you when your health is about to change. Knights of Columbus life insurance offers something precious few other financial products can guarantee. As long as you pay your premiums, the policy proceeds will be there for your beneficiaries should something happen to you. We call that peace of mind, and that s as they say in the credit card commercial priceless.
