LTC Is an Important Piece of the Puzzle

There are many financial consultants and retirement authorities who emphasize the need for a longterm care (LTC) product for estate preservation and family protection. While many commercial life insurance companies have gotten out of the long-term care business, the Knights of Columbus considers LTC a very important piece of the family protection puzzle.

The Order has been actively offering our members this product for nearly 15 years without a premium increase on current policyholders. Members who wisely purchased an LTC plan from the Knights in 2000 are still paying the same premiums today. Even better, our LTC coverage is backed by the full strength of the Order, which remains rooted in our strong Catholic values. Talk about stability when it counts. If we have not spoken about your need for LTC coverage in your family portfolio, please take some time out of your schedule to meet with me.

Remember, long-term care policies are underwritten based on your health, and you most likely will never be any healthier than you are today.

Sincerely and fraternally,

St. Anthony’s Mass

October

 

First erected as a log chapel in 1839, St. Anthony’s church was the site of the annual mass on Sunday September 11. The 80 plus who attended mass on a beautiful sunny afternoon enjoyed refreshments and snacks served by our council members. Brother Tim Nicholson, a charter member of the Mitchell council, was present. His late wife, Charlotte, has ancestors through the Dietrich family that belonged to St Anthony’s.

Message from your Chaplain

Chaplain's Message, September

 

Dear Bother Knights,

By the time you receive this bulletin, we will be in the month of August. I hope that your summer is going well and you are getting some rest, and enjoying the hot hazy days.

I want to thank you for all that you have done for the cluster and the community since the last bulletin. I specifically thank you for barbequing for the parish picnic which was a great success.

I also thank you for barbequing at the Faith Alive Bible Camp, and also for your generous contribution in support of the camp. There were 140 people took part in the camp with over 70 of them being campers. This is a big event in our cluster and we need the support of groups like yourselves to hold it. Thank you.

It is too early to talk about beginning in the fall again, but I ask that you help recruit men to this organization. Please enjoy the rest of the summer

Thank you for all that you do in the cluster and wider community.

Your Chaplain

Fr. Dick Bester

Grand Knight’s Message

Grand Knight Message, September

 

Dear Brother Knights & Ladies:

What can I say, our summer has gone by so quickly. Thanks to all the brothers who participated in our activities over the summer; The Community Meal in June chaired by Jim Kelly, Barbequing for the Parish Swim/Picnic, and the closing of The Bible Camp. Barbequing for these events was easier using the BBQ lent from St. Mike’s high school, much appreciated. We also provided some pallbearers for a deceased parishioner’s mass of resurrection.

As mentioned on previous occasions it’s the same few brothers who organize & work at our various council events. These brothers need your help. Don’t wait to be approached, volunteer for one of our many activities. If you are approached consider this as an opportunity to get involved, the reason you joined the Knight’s. If other commitments prevent you from a requested activity say not now but I can help out at other functions. Our weekly Thursday Breakfasts are back starting Sept 8th 8:30AM at Immaculate Conception Church. Talk to your group at morning coffee about coming out to support this event.

In September we will look at making our final payment towards our $50,000 pledge to St. Joseph’s Restoration Fund. We have been approached to make a pledge towards the cost of a window restoration. Before we commit we need ideas on how we can fund this project. We can do another Walk-A-Thon but that will only get us part way. Need some new ideas. Would you be willing to be on a committee? I know this GK message brings up the same old things, but stop and think why you are a Brother Knight. Also try to come out to our monthly council meetings, meet some of your fellow Knight’s.

Your Grand Knight

John J. Price
