Also in June all Councils should

be submitting your SP-7, Columbian

Award Application. Do this as earlyin the month of June as possible. This

allows time for your Council to cor-

rect any errors if Supreme rejects yourSP-7 for any reason. Last year we had

four SP-7's rejected and we were able to help three of those Councils

correct their forms.Remember while you still have to complete four programs in

each of the six areas, at least four of those programs need to be

designated as “Building the Domestic Church” programs.These programs can fit in several places on your SP-7. An

example would be Food for Families counting as either a Family

program or a Community program. If you need help please contactme.

Your SP-7 must be received by Supreme by June 30, 2018. Itwill not be accepted late.

All Councils and Assemblies should have received postcards to

fill out to update your Directory information. Please fill those out

and return them as soon as possible. We need to have those back bythe deadline date of June 20th so that we can insure the directory is

as accurate as possible.

This information can also be entered online, by going tomokofc.org. On the home page go to Council forms and then

Council and Assembly information.

It is not too late to get recognition in Special Olympics’ newTraining for Life Campus. There will be a Knights of Columbus

Wall of Fame in the foyer of the center. Councils who complete a

Gold, Silver or Bronze pledge by June 30th will be recognized onthat wall when the TLC opens this fall. Contact Mary Niswonger at

SOMO for more information. I want to thank all of you for your

great work in programs this year. It has been an honor to serve youas Program Director. We had another great year, but lets finish

strong. June is a great month to get things done.

The Training for Life Cam-pus is will open this year! Theribbing cutting is set for Sep-tember 13th, and the GrandOpening is scheduled for No-vember 1st. Construction is onschedule. However, our progressfor the $1.2 Million pledge to-wards the Training for Life Cen-ter has stalled. A lot of work isstill left, and we should do all wecan to see it through to the end.Please contact Chairman LouHoltman for more informationon making a pledge to the Train-ing for Life Campaign. YourCouncil may also increase itspledge. A new category of “Plati-num” support was recently cre-ated because a Council wentdouble-Gold. Let’s see if we canget even more.

We still have Councils thathave not submitted a Final Re-port and\or donation to the Drivefor Persons with DevelopmentalDisabilities. If your Council hasnot yet submitted a Final Report,please do so as soon as possible.We desperately need to have allof the Final Reports and pro-ceeds checks. Even if your Coun-cil did not have a Drive this year,please let us know. If so, pleaseconsider making a donation.Every dollar helps. Finally, it isimportant that all funds gener-ated from the Drive pass throughColumbian Charities. This is notonly important from an account-ing and legal perspective, but itis also critical in order to main-tain the integrity of this pro-gram.

We have wheelchairs avail-able for donation. Please let LifeServices Chairman Matt Grayknow if your Council knows ofanyone who needs a wheelchair.

If your Council needs to senda check in for Special Olympics,Agape House/Prison Concern,or the American WheelchairMission, please send them to theTreasurer for Columbian Chari-ties, Ralph Cupelli. Ralph’s mail-ing address is: Ralph Cupelli, 6Circle Drive, Kirksville, MO�63501.

Is hard to believe that this is my lastarticle as your Membership Director. Iwill be honest and say that this is by far themost challenging position I have had in theKnights, but it is also the most rewarding.I will always remember how I was greetedinto councils when I attended a Degree orother function. Your hospitality is greatly

appreciated and I enjoyed meeting Knights from throughout the state.But back to the business at hand – ending this year strong and gettingMissouri to that elite Circle of Honor status!

In terms of membership, we are having our best year in a long time,and we have a very good chance to make Circle of Honor; but in orderfor that to happen we ALL need to get out and ask Catholic gentlemento join us! We have several incentives (listed below) for individuals,Councils and District Deputies. And also remember that gettingsomeone to join is much easier now through the Online Membershipprogram. They can join on the spot by going to kofc.org/joinus. Theywill immediately begin to receive the benefits of membership at thattime. Then when your council has an Admission Degree, he can“transfer” from being an “Online member” to a member in yourcouncil. If you have not looked at that website, I strongly suggest youdo so, and take advance to what it can do us, especially in terms ofrecruiting younger members.Honoring our Bishops:

$500 will be given to the Diocesan Vocations Fund for the mostmembers brought in at an Admission Degree held in Honor of a Bishop.Current Schedule:

St. Louis - May 31 - 7:30 PM hosted by Bishop’s Council #10490Kansas City - June 7 - 7:00 PM hosted by Belton Council #5586Jefferson City - June 13 - 6:30 PM hosted by Bishop McAuliffe

Council #12992Springfield-Cape Girardeau - TBAHelp to Support Future Vocations in YOUR Diocese by Recruit-

ing a Member and having him go through this Admission Degree!Individuals, Councils and Districts:

I. The Individual who recruits the most new members May 1 - June30 will win: 1st Place $300; 2nd Place $200; 3rd Place $100

II. The Council which brings in the most new members May 1 - June30 will win: 1st Place $300; 2nd Place $200; 3rd Place $100

III. The District which brings in the most new members May 1 - June30 will win: 1st Place $300; 2nd Place $200; 3rd Place $100

There is no way we would have been as successful as we have beenthis year without the help, guidance and mentorship given to me byState Deputy Joe Rosenthal - a true leader and friend. I also want toacknowledge the hard work and dedication of my Membership Team- Chuck Paquette, Tim Beussink, Tom Caffrey, Roger Hulett, Pat Carr,Pat Kennedy, Les Erwin, Charlie Schuster, Jason Kehl, MarvinDoerhoff, Dick Kobylski, Don Allen, Vic Bender, Ron Mathias, EdColumbus, Tom Nelson, Bill Stump and Gus Bannick. I would also liketo thank our General Agents Ryan Lister, Mike York and the late GaryStruemph, and their Field Agents, for the outstanding job they havedone. I would also like to thank each and every District Deputy whotook our message of membership back to their councils. Then I wouldlike to thank each Grand Knight, Council Membership Director, andmember who took our message to heart and worked to grow our Order.

It has been a privilege to serve as the Membership Director forMissouri – one of the Elite jurisdictions in the Order!

The month of June brings us to the

start of summer and the end of the frater-

nal year. While there is a lot that needs tobe done to close out the last year, it is time

to look forward to the next twelve months

as well. Many of you know that Supremeis changing the Surge with Service pro-

gram to Faith in Action. This program revamping will help us as

Knights of Columbus continue to enhance our fine work. As a result, the youth activities will continue, but will be folded

under another umbrella. Hence, this will be the last youth director

article in the newsletter as our incoming state deputy, Bob Hawkins,has decided to follow Supreme’s lead and eliminate youth as a separate

directorate. The Missouri youth chairmen will serve under the familydirector next year. Moreover, the youth protection requirements will

change a bit as different directors within your council will now have to

undergo the protection.As this is my last newsletter as your youth director, I would like to

thank all of you for your attention this fraternal year. But especially, I

want to thank my chairmen for all their hard work – without them ouractivities would not have been successful this year. They include John

Myers with the Coats for Kids program, Aaron Wood with the soccer

and free throw programs, David Govero with the poster and essaycontests and Rocky Gambon, who oversaw the scholarship program.

Finally, thanks to all of you for your work with the youth this year!

So that you knowexactly where your Council or Auxil-iary stands, R.I.B. Treasurer/Secretary,Eric Bruns has sent out contributionstatus information to the Distric Depu-ties and letters to Councils that have not

yet reached their quotas. If you did not receive this, please let eitherBrother Bruns or myself know so that we can get you this information.Please do not wait any longer to send in your contributions to theReligious Information Bureau, as we still need your help to reach ourgoal this year.

I am counting on you to help make this another recordyear for the Religious Information Bureau!

Well my last article for Re-spect Life as your Director. Thishas been a great two years. Many“Thanks” to all the Councils, Aux-iliaries and Assemblies who havegiven to our Meet Life program.As I have said many times this waris far from over. We have toprovide these women with theopportunity to see their babiesbefore they decide to destroy thelife. Remember our State DeputyJoe Rosenthal’s moto “Protect-ing, Saving and Changing Lives”.Our Meet Life program encom-passes his moto. We should beproud of what we have accom-plished, but there is still more todo!

I wish to say “Thank You” toJoe Rosenthal for giving me thisopportunity to serve as your Re-spect Life Director. I also need tosay “Thank You” to my team,Greg Elsey, Roses for Life Chair-man, John Clarke, Silver Roseand Marion Hour Chairman, andEd Spence, Protecting All LifeChairman.

Lady Presidents, and FaithfulNavigators, who were committedto this program. It’s also impor-tant that I say “Thank You” to myfellow Directors for their supportwhen needed.

One last parting thought,whether you are a new GrandKnight, Lady President, FaithfulNavigator or you are repeatingyour term. Please consider “Life”as one of your key programs inyour Council, Auxiliary or As-sembly. Let’s face it the familyunit is in danger, and when awomen chooses abortion, she maynot realize it be she is destroying afamily unit. Our State Council hasso many wonderful programs alldirected at the Family.

As always I would like to endthis article with our PRAYER TOEND ABORTION Lord God, Ithank you today for the gift of mylife, And for the lives of all mybrothers and sisters. I know thereis nothing that destroys more lifethan abortion, yet I rejoice thatyou have conquered death by theResurrection of Your Son. I amready to do my part in endingabortion. Today I commit myselfnever to be silent, never to bepassive, and never to be forgetfulof the unborn. I commit myself tobe active in the pro-life movementand never to stop defending life.Until all my brothers and sistersare protected, and our nation onceagain becomes a nation with lib-erty and justice not just for some,but for all. Through Christ ourLord. Amen.

Summer break begins for mykids this Thursday, and for yourchildren or grandchildren certainlysoon, if not yet already. You shouldhave your summer planned, or wellunderway, and it should includeevents for Knights of Columbus“http://www.kofc.org/en/mem-bers/programs/family-activities/f a m i l y - w e e k . h t m l ” \ n_blankFamily Week.

The HYPERLINK “https://www.kofc.org/un/en/resources/membership/fraternal-leader-suc-c e s s - p l a n n e r 5 0 3 3 . p d f ” \ n_blankFraternal Success Plannerfor 2018 – 2019 has just beenposted, and Family Week is theprogram spotlight for August…but the planner does not mentionexplicitly there when Family Week

is. Traditionally, it has been theweek that includes Fr. McGivney’sbirthday and the anniversary dateof his death, so I’d suggest thatAugust 12 – 18 is appropriate, butthe real message there is, it can beanytime your Council finds usefulin your parish or community.

As I discussed at the state con-vention, the events your Councilhas for family week should beinviting not only to your mem-bers’ families, but to all the Catho-lic families in your parish or largercommunity, so that those familiescan experience what Knights ofColumbus membership is like andwhat the Knights do for familiesin the church. Please take advan-tage of the summer to invite yourfamily prospects to grow in thefaith and to join you.
