WORTHY STATE OFFICERS:
In an effort to come to the aid of the
people of Haiti, who are suffering a humanitarian catastrophe
of huge proportions in the wake of Tuesday evening's 7.0
earthquake, the Knights of Columbus has today sent an
immediate contribution of $50,000 to Catholic Relief Services
(Read
Supreme's Memo) ,
and we are asking that state and local councils make their
contributions through the Supreme Council so that we can
maximize the impact of the funds raised.
Donations by individual Knights can be made
on line on the Supreme Council website (www.kofc.org).
Checks should be made out to Knights of Columbus Charities,
Inc. and mailed to 1 Columbus Plaza, New Haven, CT 06510.
Please write "Haiti Earthquake Relief" on the memo line of the
check.
Contributions will be used to provide
assistance wherever it can have the most immediate impact,
and where the need is greatest.
Please also offer your
prayers for the victims of this terrible disaster.
