KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE“YOUR SHIELD FOR LIFE”
HAPPY NEW YEAR Brother Knights – 2013!!!Happy New Year to all my Brothers! As Catholics, our new
year begins at Advent. We have our own special start then. As citi-zens we celebrate the annual festivities of a new calendar year. I want to wish you all the safest of new years and to remind all my Brothers that the safest way to start the New Year is to protect all we own. Our loved ones cling on to our support and love, and when we leave, they lose them both. We can show them as a Catholic Gentleman, the re-sponsibility we have by leaving them with Catholic Protection. And I might add the finest of Catholic protection. This will enable them to weather the storms of survival through your love and your intelligent management of your assets.
♦Our annuities can be obtained in 2013for tax obligations of 2012, but you must act quickly. This is a time sensitive decision. ♦Our Long Term Care is budget friendly and you can modify the plan to create your own affordable premium. ♦ Of course, the finest of Life Insurance is available and this is the time to look at the safety of a plan from your Brotherhood. Wishing you and yours a responsible start to the New Year leaves me open to your availability. I am here for you my Brothers and you only.
Please call me for a quick review and some tax saving advice for 2013. May the Good Lord be with you this new season.

insurance needs, please call my office at (916-871-0582) or email me at “[email protected]”

Annual Christmas Party Despite the inclement weath-
er, there were plenty of young and old who showed up, to meet with Santa Claus follow-ing a hearty meal. As always, Santa showed up n his jolly mood, distributed toys and can-dies, organized games to the delight of those present.. This year’s event was regarded as the most in attendance from the inception of this Holiday gath-ering. (See pictures on page 4)
Cont’d from p. 1
After that, we will have a short break in our fund raisers but will devote much of our time to ac-tivities such as the Children's Easter Egg Hunt, assisting the parish in their annual golf tour-nament, working with the schools on our scholarships, working with our youth groups, and many, many things in be-tween these events that keep us very busy.
The annual dues statements will be coming out shortly. As most of you know through our e-blasts and meetings, my motto this year has been "Just Say Yes". There will be a volunteer statement included with your dues statement. Please take the time to fill it out and return it with your dues payment. It is not too much to ask that each of you participate in something, big or small, whether it is on the list or not. We need your participa-tion and help!!
And finally, let us remember that everything we do, we ulti-mately do in the name of our Lord. We may be using our minds and bodies to get things done but it is His work that we are doing. So, let's make a New Years resolution to count our-selves as one whose personal motto is "Just Say Yes".
God bless you and have a wonderful New Year…
Joe AccursoGrand Knight
Cont’d light up for Christ ….Fr. Ruel and Brother Eric were also on hand. Following the lighting lyric binders were dis-tributed and all sang along to Christian Christmas carols. Jeanie had prepared tables full of cookies and other delights as well as hot coffee, hot cider and flavored tea. Chuck and Jeanie also opened their home to a ver-itable Christmas scene alivewith all types of colorfully lighted Christmas decorations. The Supreme office of the Knights of Columbus encour-age councils all across the USA to light up a Nativity scene at exactly 8 PM in their respective time zones. Editor’s note: Chuck and Jeanie’s artistic display won the award last year. Well done - Chuck and Jeanie.! Keep up with the good work.
4th Degree Exemplification
Brother Chuck Robertson an-nounced that former Master Jim Letcher will be at our January Council meeting to discuss the up-coming 4th degree exemplifica-tion .
