October Update |

Brothers!
Council meetings are now on the regular schedule. We will have meals at 7pm, rosary at 7:30pm, and the meeting at 8pm on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
Please remember our fall recruiting blitz will be the weekend of 12 and 13 October. Please consider volunteering to sign up new members after each Mass, or at least wear your KofC8600 shirt and/or badge to Mass so parishioners can see just how vibrant we are in the parish!
At the 6 September meeting we unanimously voted to provide the new church with an altar. A sketch of the new altar is located on our website.
Our Knight of the Month for October is Peter Tomkins and the Family of the Month is the Guy and Heidi Parsons family for their contributions to the parish’s Labor Day Picnic. Thank you for what you do for all of us Peter and the Parsons!
The Grand Knight’s Discretionary Fund (GKDF) was budgeted at $1,500---and is now $1,300 due to last meeting’s vote. I am using the GKDF to fund new and emerging emergency items only. If a motion is to be made for something other than a new/emerging emergency item, then the nominator needs to collaborate with a committee chair to determine what previously-approved budgeted item is to be decremented to pay for the motion. Motions without an identified funding source will tabled until a funding source is identified. Please remember, we committed ourselves to providing the Altar of Sacrifice for our new church and we need to be a bit more careful how we expend our funds than in the past.
First Degree Knights! You should be interested in advancing within our Order and we can make it happen for you! Please see our Worthy Chancellor, Paul Wilkinson, for scheduled 2nd and 3rd degree exemplification dates.
The Paul Stefan Homes Gala is 2 November. See PGK Brian Prindle for details!
Elections are this November so please make sure you are registered to vote and that you actually do vote! Encourage others to do the same. As Catholics, we have a voice and need to be heard.
As always, see our Worthy Field Agent, Jim Bertine to take advantage of the wonderful KofC insurance program!
Thank you for what you do!

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
