A Blessed Holy Week to you my brother Knights and your families here in the Archdiocese. For Catholics it is a time to re ect. And for Knights it’s a busy time; reports are due, the Super Cash Bonanza is in full swing, Measure-Up is just around the corner, and the State Convention is not very far o . My home council, 8115, is even hosting they’re nal sh fry of Lent on Good Friday by request of our pastor and council Chaplain!
At 67% of our membership goal and I have no doubt were can hit 100% by the end of the fraternal year. Check out articles from the Arch’s own brother and State Membership Director Michael Freil plus a bonus article from State E-Membership director Stewart Vetter. An opportunity for fraternal bene t credits and learning in an upcoming seminar can be found on page 5. Plus check out the fraternal training opportunities on page 4.
We have a bit of packed issue this month. Page 2 you’ll nd a request from not only the Arch State Convention Hospitality team but also from my wife Heather for support of the State O cers’ wive’s convention basket ra e for charity. Any item you can donate would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, thank you for all the Super Cash Tickets you have turned in so far – and don’t quit now, there is still plenty of time to keep selling for Charity! Vivat Jesus! Michael J. Felerski State Treasurer
