New Letter from our State Deputy
Dear Brothers Knights,
On September 28, we held our C&B Early Bird drawing at Our Lady of the Island council in Massapequa Park. We were pleased with the results because we are approximately 2,500 books ahead of last year’s pace. If we are to continue to be successful, then we must continue to do the things that make us successful. Therefore, please continue to work at the diligent pace you have worked all spring and summer. When we reach the finish line in December, I am confident that we will have one of the best C&B Drives in recent years!
In the meantime, please continue to be diligent with the football “Fundcrazr” campaign, too. As a reminder, this newest fundraiser supports our very popular RSVP and ASAP programs. However, there are only a few weeks left to sell the Fundcrazr tickets, so if you haven’t started yet, there’s still time to participate.
Now that October is here, Columbus Day is right around the corner. As Knights, we celebrate Columbus Day because we focus on all his accomplishments. Unfortunately, there are some people in the media that have some negative things to say about Columbus. But us, Knights, we disagree with their viewpoint. It is best we handle this situation by speaking boldly and confidently about the merits of Columbus.
Another way to deal with this situation is by example. The New York State Council is setting the example by proudly marching in the Columbus Day parade on Monday October 14 in Manhattan. Specific details to follow. Therefore, please consider joining us, to demonstrate to the public that we stand proudly and confidently with the great Chistopher Columbus.
The start of the Fall season means that our councils are in full stride to a have a great Columbian year. As such, all councils should be working on Membership and Programs which is the bedrock of our organization.
That’s all for now. Remember, keep up the good work. I am rooting for you!
Fraternally,
Anthony Ippolito, State Deputy -
