My Brothers in Christ; I trust this message finds you well… I would like to start with a Thank You to the committee for the 90th Anniversary Cocktail Party. The complements I received were so many. Thank you to PGKs Michael Dantuono, Gerard Mulholland, Brian Lee, Harold Loomis, Council Officers DGK Tom Gill, FS Don Cleary, Harold Deegan and Brian Coyle I hope I did not miss anyone. If I did, please accept my apologies. A great time was had by all attendees. I received many certificates which I hope to have framed and displayed. Past Council Activities- March and April we had some fun filled activities. Among them we helped saved lives. St. Patrick’s Day Dinner/Dance- PGK Gerard Mulholland, Joe Geary, Ed Zwikel and crew for another great St. Patrick’s Celebration, fabulous Music to entertain us and a delicious corned beef & cabbage dinner. JBC Blood Drive almost 50 pints were collected. Thanks to PGK Brian Lee, Harold Deegan, Eamon Tuohy & Alexis Mulholland our receptionist. BLOOD

SAVES LIVES. I hope that it is there if and when you, a family member or a friend may need it. So please donate when you can next drive is July 13th at St Ignatius Loyola. The Acchords-a fun filled night of musical entertainment. Thank You Marie & Brian Dunker and to those who helped flip the room, so all could have nothing short of a fantastic evening. Thank you to Brian Coyle for the Projection Screen installation and to PGK Charles Prancl for the Projector a nicely added addition to our hall. April/May/June 2014 JBC K of C KNIGHT OF THE MONTH & JBC K of C FAMILY OF THE MONTH will be announced at Awards Night June 17th. I hope to see many of you there. Support your council at the Memorial Day Parade. We meet 8:30am Sears Parking Lot. JBC Awards Night is June 17th, JBC Annual Golf Outing July 12, 12th Annual Hicksville Street Fair July 20th (C&B Kick Off). In closing, this is my last entry for The Discoverer as your Grand Knight. This past year has been humbling, an honor and privilege to serve you my Brother Knights of Council 2520, as your Grand Knight. The office of Grand Knight had been something I worked tirelessly to achieve and to possibly make better for all. An accomplishment I do believe has been achieved with Charity, Unity Fraternity & Patriotism as the forefront of all, though I could not have done this alone, many hands made the work lighter. Thank You to ALL my Brother Officers, the Board of Directors of the Edward J Kenny Club, for those Committee Chairman and Co-Chairs. Many of my brothers stepped up to the plate and slammed one home, I Thank You All for your support and friendship. I look forward to the new slate of officers and I ask all to support them as you have supported me.

COLUMBIETTES

CORNER

Dear Sister Columbiettes:

Dear Sister Columbiettes:

Spring has finally arrived and we move forward to the last

two meetings of our Columbiette calendar year.

We had a tremendous successful fundraiser, our

Supermarket Bingo on March 21. Thanks to Corinne Clark,

Chairperson for all of her hard work in organizing this event.

We had many people who worked that evening, Joan

Chwalisz, Fran Duffy, Barbara Maier, Marie Dunker, Anne

Murphy, Marie Hubschman, Carmela Lancaster, Diana

Sturges, Kathy Dolan and Maureen Montalbano. I hope I

remembered all who helped. We had approximately 130

people attend, one of the largest crowds in years. A good time

was had by all and it was great to see everyone work together

to make this such a successful event.

At the end of March we had our Lenten prayer and Stations

of the Cross at St. Ignatius Church. Deacon George led us in

the Stations of the Cross. We had many members attend and it

was spiritual event for our members. Afterwards, we all went

to Friendly’s and we all enjoyed a snack.

In April, we celebrated the Passion of Our Lord and Easter.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter holiday and

celebration with your families.

At our April meeting we discussed and voted upon which

charities we will be donating to in June. I would like to thank

Anne Murphy, Joan Renner and Sheila Dooley for working on

this most important Committee. We will meet at the May

Board Meeting to decide the donations that will be given to

the charities chosen.

We will also award high school and college scholarships in

June. Thanks to the scholarship committee, Joan Chwalisz,

Joan LaCommare and Ronnie Brigandi for all your work on

this committee.

We look forward to our Communion Breakfast which will

be held on May 4, 2014 at the 9:30 Mass at St. Ignatius

Church. After Mass, we will all meet at the council for a great

breakfast and to hear our invited speakers. Thanks to Grace

Way for her work on this committee.

On Tuesday, May 6, there will be the Memorial Mass for

our recently deceased members. Two of our members, Carol

O’Neill and Rita DiMartini, passed away and they will be

honored at this Memorial Mass. I hope many of our members

will be able to attend.

May is the month of our Blessed Mother, our patroness. It

is also the month we celebrate Mother’s Day. I want to wish

all our ladies a wonderful Mother’s Day. Please take time this

month to pray to the Blessed Mother, especially the rosary, so

that we may honor her and become closer to our patroness.

Columbiette Meetings are held at the Joseph Barry

Council Hall, 45 Heitz Place, Hicksville, on the

fourth Tuesday of each month at 8:00. All Catholic

women, ages 18 and over, are invited to become

members. For more information call:

convention will be held at Villa Roma, in Upstate New

York. Any member who wishes to attend, please let me

know. This is for all Columbiettes to attend. This year

marks the 60th

anniversary of the Convention, the Diamond

Jubilee.

At the end of the month, we will join the Knights in

marching in the Memorial Day Parade. Please join us,

Monday May 26, 2014 to march. We will meet at the Sears

parking lot at 8:30 am. The Parade should start by 9. We

will also have a car driven by Kathy Dolan for members

who cannot walk/march.

As mentioned before, the May meeting will be Tuesday

May 27, starting at 7:30 for the Living Rosary. Elections

will be held for the Board of Officers and delegates at this

meeting. The slate of officers presented at the April

meeting were as follows: Grace Noll- Sentinel, Carmela

Lancaster- Treasurer, Diana Sturges-Financial Secretary,

Kathy Dolan-Secretary, Margaret Breiman-Vice President

and Jackie Sciubba-President. Barbara Cheslock will serve

as Past President for the next year. Thanks to Barbara

Cheslock, Peggy Gill and Maureen Montelbano for working

on the Nominating Committee. I also want to thank my

board members for all their support and willingness to help

me with anything I have asked of them.

Our June meeting will be the last meeting of our 2013-

2014 calendar year. At this meeting, we will be awarding

our scholarships to our winning students and checks will be

presented to the charities we have chosen. A celebration for

all our working efforts this past year!!

I look forward to working with all of you in making

these next two months a wonderful Columbiette experience.

Only Having Insurance “Through Work” Doesn’t Work

Do you know anyone whose life or career has drastically changed during these years of economic downturn? It’s very likely that someone in your immediate or extended family or group of friends is facing financial uncertainty. Maybe there’s a possibility that you (or your spouse) could lose your job or change employers. Too many people have often relied on group term life insurance as their only safety net. Often, this insurance is an employee benefit provided at low or no cost. The existence of this coverage might convince someone that personally-owned life insurance is not necessary. But only having “through work” insurance can leave you and your family vulnerable. Most group life insurance policies are limited in amount, which may be tied to salary or some other benchmark. These numbers are often capped, and this cap may be dangerously low when compared to your family’s actual needs. In fact, a detailed needs analysis that evaluates your specific situation, will likely show that any employer-provided coverage falls short. In addition, the amount of group insurance offered is almost always reduced, sometimes dramatically, when you retire. You could one day find yourself without coverage, and if your health has changed (which it will as you age), you might also find yourself unable to secure individual protection. At the very least, it will definitely be more expensive. While group life insurance can help, it does not replace the need for individually owned life insurance. I’ll be happy to meet with you and provide a no-cost needs analysis, so you’ll know exactly where you stand.
