Pancake Fundraiser
Bishop Flaget will host its
first Pancake Breakfast on Sunday,
May 22nd at the Church of the
Ascension on Lynbrooke Rd from 9:00
a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
The current plan is to hold
these once every two or three months,
rotating churches that our Council
coverts. The food and drinks will be
served free of charge. Donations will
be accepted.
Please support us by
volunteering to help serve the
breakfast or by brining your family to
breakfast! Haven’t you been wanting
to see what Ascension looks like and
hear Fr. Padgett preach for some time
know?
Call Dale Anderson at 493-
1065 if you would like to volunteer
your time.
Dear Brothers,
I cannot believe that al-
most two years has passed since
my election to the position of
Grand Knight of Bishop Flaget
Council. Reflecting back on
these two years, or even the last
3-1/2 years of our Council’s exis-
tence, and I really have come to
appreciate and respect those
men that accept the responsibil-
ity of leading a Knights of Co-
lumbus Council, especially one
like our own that serves multi-
ple parishes.
The Nominating Com-
mittee, comprised of Trustees
Joe Wise Jr., Matt Sanderfer,
Chuck Durbin and myself, had
the responsibility of developing
a slate of office candidates con-
sidering what kind of knowledge
and skills are required to suc-
cessfully lead and operate our
council. We put together what
we believe is a strong slate of
candidates for the 2005-2006
fraternal year. See the facing
page for the complete slate.
While we recommend
that you vote in their favor, we
know that a committee can
never consider all of the vari-
ables. So, if you or another
Brother you know has interest
in running for any of the elected
positions, please feel free to
nominate yourself or that other
Brother at the June Meeting.
Your nomination will be respect-
fully heard and the words of the
nominees prayerfully considered
prior to voting.
Most importantly, please
be there to vote! Your voice is
vitally important to the council
and it should be heard. I look
forward to seeing you at on June
7th.
God bless,
Tom Blocher, GK
Grand Knight’s Letter
PAGE 2 Bishop Flaget Flyer VOL 4, I SSUE 6
Special Olympics of Kentucky
The message below is from Kelly Hutchinson who is with Spe-
cial Olympics of Kentucky. As you are aware of my effort to form
a team of Knights from the 9 Louisville Councils, the message is
a result of a phone call to Kelly last Friday.
She asked if the Knights would be involved with the Spring
Games by providing 20-25 volunteers from 8:30 - 3:30 Saturday
May 14th. She would like the Knights to be the team that would
oversee one of the competitions such as the Softball Throw.
They will train our volunteers that morning (rules and the way
they the game is to be run). This is not a hard or labor-some
task, Kelly promised we would have a GREAT time and the
experience would be very gratifying!
At the Metro Roundtable meeting Saturday we discussed
Knights from all councils joining in on this effort and we
agreed that all Councils being involved was good for the Knights
as well as SOKY, and felt we should easily be able to get the 20-
25 volunteers. If we have more, that is not a problem, we could
also be escorts for the athletes going from event to event. As you
see there are a lot of opportunities. She also mentioned if there
were a few guys that could only volunteer 3-4 hrs, they may be
able to serve lunches to the athletes.
I know the time is short, let me know how many volunteers you
can add to the effort. Contact me at my home 493-1065 or cell
802-6551 ASAP!

What Happens to Them if You
Can’t Care for Yourself?
Raising a family is costly. For many of us,
there’s not much left over for long-term
goals...such as saving for our children’s
education or for retirement. Ideally, car-
ing for a sick parent wouldn’t have to be
part of the equation. Yet, as with many
things in life, the reality can be quite dif-
ferent. Today, many people start families
in their 30s and 40s - while their parents
live well into their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
If one day you require skilled nursing
care, you might have to ask your children
for help - just when they’re ready to send
their own children off to college. This is,
in fact, a common dilemma among mid-
dle-aged people today. Experts have even
coined a term -“the sandwich generation”
– to describe those who are squeezed be-
tween the conflicting financial obligations
of caring for both parents and children.
Knights of Columbus Care - a long-term
care insurance plan - is the newest addition
to the Order’s portfolio of insurance prod-
ucts. It is available to members and their
spouses ages 40 through 85 in the United
States (35 through 80 in Canada), subject
to underwriting requirements. You have a
choice of nursing-home-only coverage, or
comprehensive coverage - which also cov-
ers at-home and hospice care.
In addition, you choose your daily benefit
amount, benefit duration, and elimination
period. This flexibility allows you to deter-
mine both your coverage and the premium
you will pay. I can furnish details.
The cost of nursing-home can lay waste to
even the most carefully planned retirement
nest-egg. This could force you to deplete
assets or to rely on your family for help.
Contact me to find out how long-term care
insurance can give you peace of mind.
Member Recruitment
A new fraternal year is upon us.
Congratulations to the newly elected
and appointed council leaders. I’m
sure you have a list of things that
you want to accomplish during the
coming year. I’m eager to help.
What would be helpful to all of us
would be an early start on those
goals, rather than waiting until May
or June. Let’s get an early start on
award season this year.
Fraternally,
Dan Turnwald
Field Agent

phone at (859) 331-0238 or by e-

Hopscotch Courts
Brother Knights, the PTO
of St. Patrick’s School gave a big
Thank You in the weekly church
bulletin to the members of the
Knights of Columbus for painting
some four square and hopscotch
courts for the school children so
that they could enjoy recess more
on the play
ground.
Those
that participated
where Chairman
of the event
Ralph Millen,
who I understand
made some great templates for the
painting, Bill Janes, Mike Welch,
Brent Baughman and Dwight
Frank from St. Patrick. Bob
Rucinski from St. Albert and
Chuck Durbin from St. Aloysius.
Great Job Guys!
3rd Annual Founder’s Day
Dinner/Dance:
This was another great
event put on by the combined
efforts of Fr. Diersen and Bishop
Flaget Councils. Approximately
twenty couples attended this
swingin’ event that featured a DJ
as well as great food.
The lovely setting for the
event was Bethany Hall at
Immaculate Conception Church in
LaGrange, KY.
MSA Walk:
The rain let up just in time
for this event that raised funds for
research to develop a cure for MSA.
Several Brothers, their families
and even a pet or two came out for
the 3-mile walk. Participants
from our Council included Mike
Welch, Frank Fiorini, Dwight,
Shari, Eric & George Frank, Chuck
Durbin, Tom, Andrew, Iain and
Robbie Blocher.
Friends of our council that
participated included St. Patrick
parishioners Larry Jones and
daughters Elena and Lauren,
Blake and Julie Westoff and their
cuddly but huge dog!
