Grand Knight’s Report Ed Reyes Grand Knight
Brother Knights:
A couple of weeks ago I attended Grand Knights
training. The subject that was driven the most was
membership, mainly, recruiting new members. I
also found out that every year we lose about 50%
of new members. So it is great that we are
recruiting, but it doesn't do a lot of good if we keep
losing them. I believe that last year we as Knights
had a record number of new members. Let’s keep it
up.
Now we need to do something about keeping our
members. I have been a Knight for over twenty
years. But I have only been active for about three
years. For as long as I have been active and a
member of this council I have only met about 15%
of our members. I believe that we as group need to
try to get more members involved. It is everyone’s
job to reach out to the members that are not
active, to get them involved, especially, our new
members. There are a few of us that show up for
almost every event, which is great, but it would be
a lot better if we had more participants.
Since growing the order is our number one goal, it
is every member’s responsibility to recruit. We
all need to stay active in all aspects of our council.
Our goal for the year is to recruit 18 new
members. So let’s all get to work.
Vivat Jesus,
Ed Reyes
