The most important NOTE!!!! Our regular business meeting in May will be on Wednesday May 7^th. I know it has been very confusing the past couple of months, but sometimes it can’t be helped, and I am sorry for these date changes.

It is time for nominating Knights who are interested in becoming an officer for the up coming year requirements are that you be a Third Degree member for a year and in good standings. If you would like to serve as an officer this coming year please get in touch with the nominating committee Don Belanger, Willis Broussard, and Robert Templet Sr.

I would like to thank Robert Templet Sr. and the Knights who help make the Membership Blitz a huge success. We have signed up seven fine gentlemen who want to join the Knights of Columbus. We also had two gentlemen readmit themselves back in the Knights of Columbus, and one transfer. This truly a reflection of the many good deeds you do as Knights to help others in need, and how many other men see, and want to be a part of our many services that we do for the greater glory of God.

We have a few dates to remember before our next meeting: The Teacher Appreciation Dinner will be April 30^th at St. Marks 6:30 p.m. I would like to see all Brother Knights and wives come out to pay special tribute to our educators. These men and women are helping to shape the future of America by educating our children for the future, and the children are our future.

May 1^st. May Day Rosary at 7:00 p.m. at the meditation garden please check your church bulletin for more information. The State Convention on May 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th.

Nobody knows how long they are going to live. That’s why it is essential to buy life insurance. With life insurance you can live forever in the eyes of your family. Right now you have questions: How will the survive without me? What would they do if I were no longer here for them? How would they live? With life insurance all these questions are answered.

There is no need to spend your living years worrying about how your family will cope without you. Let life insurance take the worry out of life so you can enjoy it. Call today for an appointment.

Would you (or someone you know) like to make an extra $10-$25 per hour part-time setting insurance appointments by telephone with K of C members? Call me, K of C agent Tim Fernandez, for more details.
