done it alone. I also thank my officers for

their service. Finally, I wish to thank 3

people who serve this organization with

distinction and who we would be hard

pressed to exist without them. They are

Manager Jim Rasmussen, Chef Jimmy

Hurd, and my good right arm Lisa Wald.

It has been an honor and a privilege to

serve all of you. This is an outstanding

organization. It has been a good ride and

you have honored me. As we proceed to May, we have the

Living Rosary, 6:00 p.m., May 1st. The

Dinner, June 21st. God Bless all of you. Your Worthy Servant and Grand Knight

Bill Belanger Grand Knight

As I sit here writing my May, June, July

column for the Knight's News, the realiza-

tion comes to me that this is my last col-

umn as my term as your leader ends June

30. As the end draws near I have mixed

emotions. I know that I am going to miss

it, but yet I would not wish to do it again.

Doing it again would be a case of "been

there, done that". The adventure would be

missing. I was told when I started that

"Bill, you can't do everything", and I have

tried not to. I have had the advantage of

outstanding Committee Chairs. Steve Hal-

Grand Knights Message

On Sunday, May 13th the Marian Council will host its 49th annual Mother’s Day Mass and Breakfast in the Grand Hall with your

fellow Knights as hosts. Mass will begin at 10:00 a.m. with a breakfast buffet to follow. The 4 th Degree Mass committee and Honor

Guard will be in attendance.

The menu this year will consist of your choices of egg dish, sausage, hash browns, fruit, sweet rolls, orange juice, milk, and coffee.

All adults will be offered a complementary glass of champagne and all mothers will receive a beautiful corsage as they arrive. The

price is $9.00 per person with reservations paid in advance or $10.00 at the door. Children 6 years of age and under will be admitted

free. This is a nonprofit event so as not to waste food we ask that you have your paid reservations at the hall by May 9 th.

This will be a great opportunity to show your wife, mother, or grandmother how much you love and appreciate what they do all the

other days of the year. See you there.

There likely be some changes, but most of

the familiar programs and events of the

past will continue.

We, however, need additional members

to step forward and assume leadership and

participating roles in our program areas:

church, community, council, family,

youth, and pro-life. Please consider pro-

gram areas of special interest to you and

let us know how you wish to be part of

our continued services. We need to sus-

tain and expand our efforts in these areas.

And, therefore, we need some 'fresh tal-

ents' to achieve our future goals. So,

please contact me or the hall office (952-

888-1492) and make your interests and

availability known; truly it can be both

worthwhile and enjoyable. Also, be sure

to ask your relatives and friends to join us

as a member and be a part of our efforts.

Have dinner with them in the hall dining

room and approach the subject.

Thanks.

Deputy Grand Knight

Deputy Grand Knight’s Message I want to extend a special welcome to

our new, admission members that have

joined us this year. Also, I wish to thank

all of our members who have again ex-

pressed their continued support of our

council. And, we wish to seek their con-

tinuing involvement and active participa-

tion in our programs and activities.

This council year will soon conclude

and another challenging year will begin.

Thanks to Bill Belanger for his leadership

this year. It is now our time for pre-

planning and organizing for the new year.

PAGE 3 VOL. LVII NUMBER 2

you have come in to try some of our new

items. If not, please do so at your first

opportunity. We made nine (9) changes

to the menu this quarter and some of the

items are: added Jalapeno Poppers to the

Appetizer menu; added another pasta,

Chicken Linguini; Pecan Crusted Walleye

has returned to the menu; new Chicken

and Beef items have been added as well as

the return of our popular Pork Tenderloin

Medallions. For those looking for a light-

er meal we have added three (3) new

Sandwiches and Wraps for your dining

pleasure.

Knights Fraternal Corp.

Congratulations are in order for Jim

Rasmussen and his entire staff of employ-

ees and volunteers for a continued job

well done. We ended the first quarter

with revenues that exceeded budget by

over $14,000 and net profit that was shy

of budget by $3,000. We continue to do

well and thank each of our members for

your continued support of the club and its

activities. You are important to us and

without you we wouldn’t be where we are

today.

We have made our quarterly menu ad-

justment in mid April and we hope that

In the coming months we will be con-

ducting a Diner Satisfaction Review of

our dining room. This will be 100% vol-

untary but we hope that when you dine

with us you will take the time to fill out

the comment card on your dining experi-

ence. This is how we get to know what

your expectations and desires are. We’ll

use this data to better serve you in the

future.

Thank you all for your continued sup-

port of our facilities.

Jay Taylor

President, Knights Fraternal Corporation

Happy Spring! It's a busy season, and

we can always use a few more volunteers

for our projects. Thanks to everyone who

handed out Tootsie Rolls, and to all our

parish Round Table workers. We still

need help with the Firemen's Softball

Tournament this July. Everyone's wel-

come at our family picnic. Events are on

our website, which recently underwent a

major facelift. New members, please drop

me a line if you'd like to know more about

any of our activities. Remember that we

are a family organization, and LADIES

are an important part of all we do. Do

you know someone who should be an

Auxilian?

I'm thrilled with the success of our

Movie Night. If you missed it, there will

be more. These and all our events are

now broadcast via Facebook, Twitter, and

LinkedIn. It's high time we communicat-

ed with young people through 'their' chan-

nels, and we're seeing new faces at our

family activities. Remember to ask some-

one at church, work or school if he'd like

to learn more about the Knights of Co-

lumbus. Many, many thanks to Orv

Fillbrandt and everyone who brought a

new member into our council this year.

In case you didn't know it, our First De-

gree is now called the Admission Degree.

Our bilingual degree team welcomes

members en Espanol as well as English,

something no other Minnesota council can

do. But we're looking for more Spanish

speakers who can reach out to our Latino

members. We are adding Spanish website

content too.

The other night, my daughter and I en-

joyed dinner at the hall with friends. We

were seated by the elevator and it gets a

lot of use. Hopefully I'll see more of you

at the club this summer ...our food is fab-

ulous, and it's a great place to take visit-

ing family or business associates. Please

remember Marian Hall for your next wed-

ding, graduation, fundraiser or sports ban-

quet. Pictures and rental information are

on our website.

Congratulations to our outgoing offic-

ers, especially Grand Knight Bill Bel-

anger, on a great year.

ing our council in the coming year. I have

been a part of the KCs for some 35 years,

dating back to my early years at St. John's

University. I have served as the chaplain

and faithful friar for a number of councils

over the past 23 years of my priesthood.

In future newsletters I will share more of

my personal journey. For now, I simply

say "THANK YOU" for this honor.

Keep the faith! Keep evangelizing the

Good News! Keep supporting the Church!

Easter peace,

Fr. Brian Fier

Chaplain

This year went faster than I thought

possible. At this time, I would like to

thank my Board members: Pat Bruns,

Vice President, Jean Snyder, Secretary,

and Bonnie Lausen, Treasurer. They all

stepped up when called upon. I would

like to further my thanks to all of the com-

mittee chairs, event chairwomen and all of

the volunteers that contributed their time

and talents to the success of this Auxiliary

year. Here are the concluding events for our

Auxiliary: A Spring Birthday Luncheon on Thurs-

day, April 12th was hosted by Chairs

Claire Flynn and Shirley Kovach. A good

time was reported by all. On Tuesday, April 24th, we are encour-

aged to attend, along with our Knights,

the Wild Game Dinner. There will be

roast pork served along with the wild

game entrees, a silent auction (your dona-

tions are welcome ), lots of raffles, inter-

esting games and prize drawings. As you

can tell, it is a fun and fund raising event,

so I hope to see you there. The Minnesota KC’s Auxiliary State

Convention will be held on Saturday,

April 28th in Maple Grove. We hope for a

good representation from our group. Our annual Jean Ingram Memorial Liv-

ing Rosary will be Tuesday, May 1st,

starting at 6:00 p.m. Both Auxiliary

members and spouses are asked to partici-

pate. A light dinner will follow and then

we will have Jordan Harris from MCCL,

who has as her expertise, Senior Pro Life

issues. This will provide us answers for

Respect for Life areas of concern that can

really affect our age group. Our final dinner meeting of the year,

will be Thursday, May 17th. We will in-

troduce and vote for the incoming officers

for 2012-2013. This will be followed by

card playing and/or charitable giving

crafts. Thursday, June 21st, is our annual

Recognition Dinner honoring our top

Auxiliary member along with the Knight

and Family of the Year. Please mark this

date on your calendar and plan to attend. As this is my final newsletter, I wish to

thank Manager Jim Rasmussen, Chef Jim-

my Hurd, Secretary Lisa Wald, Grand

Knight Bill Belanger and all of the

Knights that I had the opportunity to work

with for the Auxiliary that truly helped to

provide me with this memorable experi-

ence. Pat Rickert

Chaplain’s Message

Dear Fellow Knights,

Easter greetings! Yes, we are in the

midst of our "50-day party" to celebrate

the great news of the Resurrection of our

Lord and Savior. What a wonderful op-

portunity to reflect on and act on how this

great gift affects our lives. How are we

evangelizing the Easter message to our

world?

One of the ways we bring this great

news to life is through our involvement

with the Church. It is no coincidence that

we turn to the Acts of the Apostles for our

first reading throughout the Easter season;

for the A of A is the story of the Church.

Therefore, it is fitting to reflect on this

wonderful gift/responsibility we have

received called "the Catholic Church."

Personally, I am working hard on this

task. In January of this year I began my

service as the pastor of St. Edward's

Church; thus, I am striving to get to know

the gifts/responsibilities of my new com-

munity, and they are doing the same with

me. Yes, new beginnings are challenging;

yet, patience and faith make all the differ-

ence. Please keep me and St. Edwards in

your prayers during this transition time.

Another gift/responsibility I have re-

ceived is the call to be our council's chap-

lain. I thank Grand Knight Bill Belanger

for this honor and I look forward to serv-

The final meeting of this Council year

for the Respect for Life program will fea-

ture a different slant than we have had

from all previous Pro-Life presentations.

Jordan Harris, Legislative Associate with

MCCL, will be our speaker and she will

cover the Pro-Life issues that are pertinent

for the ages of the vast majority of our

membership. Mrs. Harris will provide us

specific background on senior health care,

euthanasia and end of life areas, while

allowing for ample time for questions and

answers at the conclusion of her presenta-

tion, so be ready to be informed in this

subject matter that is certainly impacting

most of us. This Respect for Life program will be

the final part of the Auxiliary’s Annual

Jean Ingram Memorial Living Rosary,

which will be followed by a light dinner,

and will be held in the Knights Room on

Tuesday, May 1st starting at 6:00 p.m.

Auxiliary members and their spouses are

encouraged to attend Seeing that this is my last article for this

year, I would like to briefly recap the

highlights of our program and extend a

few thank you’s to some of our loyal par-

ticipants. I feel that we were once again

able to provide the key leaders as our

speakers from many of the most respected

Pro-Life ministries in the Twin Cities on a

vast array of Respect for Life subjects.

Our gratitude goes out to them for a job of

service well done. In addition, our group

provided the impetus on the Ultrasound

Initiative program from start to finish that

helped secure the unit for North Side Life

Care Center and I am happy to say that

Robbie Dircks, their Executive Director

reports that things are going so well there

that they have been donated a second

building that is in a location that will even

better reach and serve their clients in need

and will become the new home for their

ultrasound unit. Our thanks go out to all

the KC’s and religious groups that part-

nered with us to accomplish this objective .I would like to give my closing appre-

ciation by singling out members of our

committee that have been loyal to our

cause not only this year, but for almost

every meeting that I have been involved

with. They are as follows: Betty

Cavanaugh, as Secretary/Treasurer and

for preparing the December Holiday

treats and her husband, Lenny who calls

for attendance, whenever his health per-

mits; Marilyn and Tom Mantel for lead-

ing us in the Rosary; Rita Peller, Harriet

and Joe Schepers and Beth and Dave

’Doc‘ Williams for their faithful attend-

ance and meeting input. Our first meeting of the new Council

year will be Monday, October 1st at 7:30

p.m. in the Madonna Room, so please

plan to attend this one and every one that

you can because we really want your

support for this very worthwhile cause.

In the meantime, we will work on the

2012/2013 program schedule and hope to

have back many of the past Pro-Life min-

istries and some new innovative presenta-

tions that will attract your attention and

interest, as well Pat Rickert

Chair Respect for Life Committee

Respect Life

Welcome back to the snowbirds! We’re

looking forward to having you, and any-

one else who hasn’t been at the hall lately,

stop by. Our menu fluctuates with the

seasons and, with summer approaching,

it’s time for a change. We offer salads

and burgers plus a full menu Wednesday

through Saturday evenings. Think of us

after that round of golf or come in to

watch a few innings of the Twins game

and have a beer.

Mark your calendars now for July 20 –

22. The Knights are sponsoring the 54th

Annual Fireman’s Softball Tournament

Manager’s Message

and will be looking for volunteers to man

the beer tent. It’s enjoyable and a great

way to meet fellow Knights.

Make sure you read the Knight News

and flyers concerning upcoming events.

A few to point out are the Mother’s Day

Mass and Brunch on May 13, the Knight’s

Recognition Dinner on Thursday, June 21,

and Big Band dances on May 11, June 15

and July 13.

Thanks to Grand Knight Bill Belanger

and his officers for the wonderful job they

did this past year. Welcome to the new

Grand Knight and his officers. Please

give them the continued support you’ve

shown in the past.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Hope to see everyone at the Council Pic-

nic on Sunday, July 29.

We wish to thank the members of St. Peter, St. Olaf and St. Patrick for preparing and serving the breakfast in

January. We made $320 for the benefit of the hall. In February, we thank members of Risen Savior, Our Lady of

Peace and St. Bonaventure for taking care of that breakfast. $270 was profited for the benefit of the council. We

will not have any lounge breakfast again until the fall.

Navigator’s Message

The 4th Degree has several functions

to go before the end of the Assembly year

on July 1st. After the 4th Degree Exem-

plification on April 21 we are having a

New Member Recognition Dinner for

those who joined our ranks prior to our

meeting on May 16. After that we are

participating in the Memorial Day Parade

in Bloomington. Shortly afterwards we

are having a Flag Day program on June 14

under the leadership of Faithful Pilot

Ralph Bartolotta. Following that event

we will participate in the annual Richfield

4th of July Parade.

These patriotic functions define us and

what we stand for in our fraternal order.

We are always looking for more knights

from the 3rd Degree to join us to increase

our numbers and to exemplify our princi-

ple of Patriotism.

Joe Novak

Movie Night You might be asking yourself how was

history made. Well back on February 3rd,

we hosted the first ever Christian Movie

Night at the K of C Hall. At this event we

had about 94 attendees that ranged in age

from young adults to senior citizens.

About half of the attendees were not

members of our council. We are excited

to let you know that on May 18th, 2012

we will be hosting the next installment in

our series of movies.

This time the movie is going to be

called Flywheel. Flywheel was made on a

very limited budget as it is the first movie

produced by Sherwood Pictures, the mov-

ie-making ministry of a Georgia church

that went on to produce Facing The Gi-

ants in 2006 and Fireproof a few years

ago. Flywheel offers the same faith-filled

warmth and humor that audiences loved in

Facing The Giants and Fireproof. The

Kendrick Brothers wrote both films and

Flywheel also stars Alex Kendrick (Coach

Grant Taylor). Flywheel will have you

cheering (and crying) once again!

So why not come out and join us on

Friday, May 18th for another great movie!

This time it’s about how Jay Austin wants

to sell used cars in the worst way ... and

that's exactly how he does business at his

dealership. Promising much more than he

can ever deliver, he'll do whatever it takes

to sell a car. His manipulative ways per-

meate all of his relationships—even his

wife and son know they can't trust him.

But as Jay works on restoring a classic

convertible, he begins to see that God is

working on restoring him as well. Com-

ing face-to-face with the reality of how he

truly conducts himself, Jay Austin begins

the ride of his life as he commits to honor-

ing God with his business, his relation-

ships, and his life!

It’s not often you can go out and see a

movie for free so we ask that you please

consider joining us and bringing a friend.

When you come please be aware that the

entrance to see the movie is free but we

will be selling concessions, popcorn, and

have a free will offering.

First, a Big Thank You to the members

that made personal contributions to help

pay for the new Roof Top heating and

cooling unit. It was a big ticket item at

$21,000 and the personal contributions go

a long way. If you haven’t contributed

yet and would like to there is still time.

Just send in your donation to the office

and note on the check that the donation is

for the building fund.

Our Board Vice President, Greg Bruns

continues to lead our efforts in the area of

Energy Conservation. Greg recently coor-

dinated the installation of one digital set-

back thermostats in the Madonna Room

and four in the Grand Hall. This action

should conserve energy and save money

as we will not be heating and cooling the

areas when they are not in use. These

improvements are part of our overall ener-

gy conservation program. A recent ener-

gy usage audit prepared by Greg identi-

fied that our electric usage in 2011 is

down about 5% from 2009. When you

Home Association calculate the cost savings of the 5% it

amounts to about $4,400. In addition, our

business in 2011 was quite a bit stronger

than in 2009 so the actual saving is much

more.

Have you been in the Madonna Room

lately? If so you probably have seen our

new couches. We recently replaced the

two white leather couches with brand new

brown suede couches. They really update

the look and add a bit of elegance. The

replacement idea was forwarded by

Fourth Degree Faithful Navigator Joe

Novak. In addition to his good idea Joe

also helped to fund the project with a

$250.00 donation from the Fourth Degree.

The remainder of the cost was funded

through the building fund. Joe thanks for

noticing the need for an improvement and

most importantly helping to fund it!

Your Home Association Board responds

to both building emergencies as well as

manages a program to maintain our prop-

erty. The maintenance program involves

a number of volunteer Knights that work

on a regular basis to address various

items. The group is led by Board Mem-

bers Julian Hynnek and John Kovach with

special support from Deacon Jim

McLaughlin for painting projects. Each

of these Board members has a team of

Knights that they call as tasks are identi-

fied. They then work rather silently with

the Fraternal staff to get it done. These

task range from repainting the Knights

Room to replacing the door latch on the

walk in cooler to replacing the pool table

lights in the lounge. These efforts keep

the facility in top condition. The next

time you are in the Hall look around and I

think you will be proud how well our Fif-

ty plus year old building is being cared

for. And if you happen to see someone

working on it please thank them or better

yet ask how you can help.

Lecturer Program

signed to meet the needs of people with

disabilities in the cities of Bloomington,

Eden Prairie, Edina and Richfield.

AR&LE does not provide transportation

to these programs. Trail Riders live inde-

pendently among these communities and

do not have affordable transportation

available. AR&LE programs are offered

in a variety of locations throughout the

four cities. Through donations, fundrais-

ing and grants, TRAIL subsidizes 80% of

the transportation costs, making it possi-

ble for riders to pay only a nominal fee.

Marian Council Knights of Columbus has

been supporting TRAIL for over twenty

years. Michelle lives in Eden Prairie with

Our Lecturers program on Thursday,

April 26, 2012 will be Michelle Veith,

President of TRAIL (Transportation Re-

source to Aid Independent Living, Inc.)

for the past 10 years. She previously

served on TRAIL’s Board of Directors for

12 years. She is an instructor for The

Learning Exchange and a number of her

students are transported to her classes by

TRAIL. Trail was incorporated as a non-

profit in 1991 and provides transportation

to adults with developmental disabilities

to AR&LE (Adaptive Recreation and

Learning Exchange) programs. AR&LE

offers recreation, leisure and community

education opportunities specifically de-

her husband Ron, and daughter Andrea,

who has developmental disabilities.

Michelle’s favorite leisure activities in-

clude cooking, reading, handwork and

spending time up north.

The Lecturers program will be after our

short meeting, approximately 8:00 p.m.

Members, spouses and/or significant oth-

ers and guests are welcome for our Lec-

turers programs. After our program we

will go upstairs to the lounge for socializ-

ing, treats and refreshments.

Golden Anniversary

As we enhance our council website, the

need has emerged for members-only con-

tent. Don't worry; we're not shrouding

our digital front door in secrecy. Most

content, including the calendar, will be

public. But most organizations limit ac-

cess to the member directory, meeting

minutes, and referenda. We must keep up

with the times.

Check your spam settings, so you're not

blocking kofc3827.com emails. Make

sure you're not over your mailbox's size

limit. And watch for an email from the

Marian Council with your username and

password.

You do not need to "log in" every time

you visit the website, only when viewing

"members only" pages. Click the "lost

password" link if you lose your creden-

tials. Simply enter your email address and

the system will reply with your password.

If we do not have your email address,

drop us a line at market-

ing@kofc3827.com. If you don't check

email regularly, make arrangements with

a family member or neighbor so we can

stay in touch.
