FROM YOUR AREA MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR

Worthy Grand Knights, Membership Directors, and Brothers:

VIVAT JESUS!

The Fraternal Year is almost at its halfway point, and the time is now to evaluate your council’s membership recruiting program.

For some councils, putting their Action Plans to use has produced favorable results. Sadly, for most councils in Area 6, this has not been the case. Without new members, a council cannot flourish and do the work of the Order.

Without new members, a once healthy council cannot put on programs that will invigorate its members and give them a reason to stay active. By not actively seeking out eligible Catholic men to join the Knights, you are depriving them of a “Chance of a Lifetime” to proudly promote Charity, a Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism as a Knight.

For those individual members, who know of a relative or friend that might want to join, don’t put-off asking! If your council hasn’t as yet put together a recruitment drive, now is the time to act. There is still time before the Holidays to increase your rolls.

There are plenty of incentives from Supreme, State, as well as individual ones. They, along with suggestions on how to plan and execute a successful drive are explained in the Membership Books

Given to each council. I am available to answer any question, or assist you.

It’s not too late to reverse our negative trend in Michigan, but only you can make it happen. With District Deputies, Grand Knights, and Membership Directors working together, your goals will become reality.

Fraternally,

Pete Wilhelm,PGK,FDD
