Volume 103 No. 5 One Nation Under God – The Charity of Christ Urges Us On May 2017

Dear Brother Knights, Sister Columbiettes, Families and

Friends,

As we now have said Goodbye to April and welcoming

in May and very soon the Columbian year will come to an

end. We held a meet and greet for our own Ed Newborn ,

starting off the month on April 2nd as we know , although

not yet official, that Ed will be the new State Warden

coming July 1st. Ed has held numerous offices as a Knight

but this will be his biggest Challenge and we support him

completely. We will be losing our Financial Secretary but

gain so much more. Jerry Scotti now will be switching

positions from Treasurer to our FS. We gave out knight of

the month awards at our meeting on April 20th with March

K of M being Dennis Maragliano and April being Joe

Nolan. As usual it is hard to pick these awards as we are

blessed with an active council. On April 22, the

Columbiettes held there spring dance entitled “A Little Bit

of Country” and along with Crystal Image they brought

in Country Line Dance instructors who entertained us as

well as taught all how to do line dances. We held our

annual Sheperds Night on April 4th, Spy Wednesday on

April 12th and our Communion Breakfast on April 23,

2017 where we gave our Rookie of the Year award to

Jim Mavricos, Knight of the Year To Rick Seaman and

Family of the Year to the Fregelette Family. In May we

have our May Crowning May 20th. I would like to thank

all that come down to help and as we approach the end

of the Columbian year please know that even a little

help goes a very long way.

Vivat Jesus,

Matthew V. Kuczinski Grand Knight

The Southern Knight

Insurance Corner:

Protecting Your Family… Business?

You already know that the Knight of Columbus is here for all

your personal and family financial protection needs, but did you

know that the Order can help secure your business too? As

your Knights of Columbus field agent, I can help you protect the

continuity of your business for years to come.

Business insurance is the term used in the insurance industry to

describe the use of life insurance and disability income

insurance to solve certain financial needs of businesses and

their owners. The products offered through the Order can cover

many needs, such as:

• Economic loss to the business when a key employee dies

• Disposition of a business owner’s interest upon death or other

separation from the business

If you’ve worked hard to establish a business, you owe it to

yourself and your family to learn about the opportunities that the

Knights of Columbus can offer.

With protection for the family, the business, the farm, retirement,

long term care and disability coverage, the Knight of Columbus

truly is your shield for all the elements of your life.

Fraternally,

Dan DiLauro - Knights of Columbus Field agent 17147
