Per the latest Membership Report from Supreme, our council membership stands at 203. This includes 10honorary members and 27 honorary life members. While we recruited 5 new members, we also suspended 9 for a net loss of (4) for this fraternal year. There is also a likelihood of additional suspensions. As you cansee we have a large number of senior service members and a decline in our overall membership. The healthof the order and our council depends on the recruitment of new members to assume leadership and provideassistance with the various activities sponsored by our council.
We are all responsible for recruitment and should be constantly be on the lookout for potential members.We never want a Catholic man to say: “I was never asked to join the Knights of Columbus”. At the very least,we should extend the opportunity to join our ranks to every Catholic man. Whether they decide to accept theopportunity is up to them…..We did our part.
As a reminder, our next scheduled First Degree will be the May 24.
