Thank YOU!

Thanks to all brother Knights that assisted with last week's Fish Fry in either prep, set-up, serving, cook or clean-up.  Thanks for assistance in the 
40 Cans for Lent Food Drive, too.  Hopefully this weekend matched or exceeded or first week of 658 pounds of cans collected - wow!   

KofC Insurance

BENEFITS OF YOUR KC MEMBERSHIP

Please mark your calendar: At our Council 7445 Social meeting on Tuesday, March 21st, our new Field Agent Marty Gibula and General Agent Tom Supac will be presenting an overview of the Benefits of Your KC Membership. This will be an open meeting and you are encouraged to bring your wife so you can both learn of the benefits. It was Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney's wish when he started the Knights of Columbus that we provide protection for our loved ones and today's Knights of Columbus members have the opportunity to do that and more.

If you have any questions about the current benefits you have, please email Marty at marty.gibula@kofc.org or call him at 713-823-9182.
Sacred Heart Parish Work Day

Come help make the campus shine for Palm Sunday and Easter.  Saturday, April 1st, 8 am to 2 pm.  Bring gardening tools, gloves and power washers.  Lunch will provided.  Work for an hour or work all day long!  Many hands make easy work, so invite your family and friends.

Upcoming KofC State Convention

Brothers; The upcoming State Convention is approaching rapidly and I am still looking for an Alternate to represent the Council.  It will be held in Dallas, TX on April 28, 29, 30. Please prayerfully consider joining SK Dan Polczynski and myself for the weekend. Last year was my first time to go and indeed it was an adventure.  I will need to know ASAP as I need to send in the paperwork. Hotel, travel and banquet expenses will be covered by the Council.  This has been a topic of discussion at several business meetings but I have received no firm commitments. Your spouse is welcome to join you.
