BROTHERS
These Knotes had to be done early this month, so at this writing our Superbowl Sunday Breakfast has yet to take place. I’m rather confident it was a huge success, as the community has come to embrace it over the years. Thank-You Brother Knights, and ALL who helped on one of our most important Fundraisers. We all know how much time, talent, and effort goes into this.

To clear up some discussion we had at our January meeting about the annual dues:
$24 is the minimum dues to remain a member (this hasn’t changed since our council began back in December, 1994.) The council’s obligation to Supreme is $3 per member for Holy Cross, and $2 per member for Culture of Life (new for this year) Optional is Take 5 Michigan Charities, and Father McGivney Chair. Again, when sending in your dues, please let Carl know if you are a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Degree member, so that we may update our Roster.
There will be a 4th Degree in April, 2010. If anyone is interested, please contact Don Bredow or our District Deputy, Dale Gilbert. You must have completed the 1st 2nd & 3rd Degree for eligibility.
Fraternally,
John Howison
