Brothers:
Please help! On February 8th Council 8600 will again field a Polar Plunge team to support Virginia’s Special Olympics. For the past few years the team has consistently been the best-performing KofC council in the state but our donations this year have been slow arriving. Please consider making a donation now, regardless of the amount---even a little bit helps! This is a most worthy cause and your help is greatly appreciated. The link to the team donation page follows: https://impact.specialolympicsva.org/team/263159.
During Lent our council is going to sponsor three Friday fish frys at Saint Mary’s; the dates will be advertised later and there will be a take-out option. Please plan on supporting this event by either assisting the team preparing the meals, or purchasing meals for your family on those meatless Lenten days! We will be establishing sign-ups for volunteers to help prepare the meals later this month.
Remember our 18 February meeting is open to all and is our annual chili cook-off. Also, on Saturday 29 February we will have our annual Polish Night! Please consider attending both!
The funding for Marian Holmes’ seventh house came through and we closed on the house 31 January! This worthwhile effort has greatly grown in recent years as we are bless to be able to continue to expand. Expects a call to go out to help prepare the new home for the new residents. We are targeting the weekend of 15 February.
2020 Billing Second Notices: The initial billing statements was emailed or mailed to all members around the middle of December and 284 members have not paid their 2020 bills as of 31 January. The Worthy Financial Secretary will be emailing and mailing Council 8600’s second notice to your contact information on file. The email address the Second Notice mailing will be coming is Knights of Columbus Email no-reply@kofc.org. Members are asked to please pay their dues promptly. If you need to be excused from your dues, please contact the Grand Knight (gk@kofc8600.org) If you have questions, please email the Financial Secretary at fs@kofc8600.org.”
Congratulations to SK David Sharp. He has agreed to be appointed to another term as our Council’s Financial Secretary. Thank you Dave!

Council 8600 Insurance Agent - Jim Bertine
Father McGivney, established the Knights of Columbus, and with it, a “pass-the-hat” insurance system to protect the Catholic families in his parish. Over time, that system has evolved, and today we stay true to our founding mission through our multi-billion dollars, top-rated insurance program. Members have exclusive access to our insurance program and products, including life insurance, retirement annuities, long-term care insurance, and disability income insurance. The men in our council are no doubt at various stages of life, with varying needs and varying means. Nevertheless, at some point in our lives, surely most of us will look for life insurance protection, retirement products, disability income or long-term care insurance. When you do, why would they look anywhere besides our very own Knights of Columbus? I challenge you to help spread the word of Father McGivney and how one hundred and thirty-five years ago, Father Michael J. McGivney worked to protect Catholic families. I challenge mentors to share this with your new Knights especially if they are Married.
We are honored to have one of the best Field Agents servicing our members and you can find out more information by contacting KofC 8600 Field Agent, Brother James Bertine PGK, FIC, LUTCF, CLTC, at the following: http://www.JimBertine.com, james.bertine@kofc.org ,(703) 845-3402, Fax: (703) 291-8490, 7005 Backlick Court, Suite 100, Springfield, VA 22151
