GUIDEPOST

Grand Knights Message


Greetings Knights and ladies. With the Holidays there was not much going on for about three weeks. January 12 brought us the Wild Game Feed chaired by Dan Otte, with much help from his family, St. Tim's Men Club, St. Tim's Ladies Council, Church staff, Confirmation Group, and Knights and Ladies. The many choices of wild game were delicious. Thanks to all who helped make this a success.


The next day, the 2nd Sunday Breakfast chaired by Al Loerzel went well despite the steamer not working. All the scrambled eggs had to be made in frying pans on top of the stove. Great job guys.
 

Coming up, the Lenten fish fries are starting February 1st. This is our major fundraiser with proceeds going into the council charity account and a small percentage for maintenance cost for the St. Tim's kitchen. In closing lets support the Lenten Fish Fries by helping or enjoying the excellent food.
 
Yours in Christ
Dick Dols

Insurance Notes 

QUESTION:  I have a life insurance policy that started at $25,000 but now has a death benefit of $143,000.  I’m not sure I believe it.  My policy number is [deleted].  Can you please research this?

ANSWER:  Yes, the numbers are accurate.  You purchased your policy in 1969 and it has earned an incredible dividend over its history.  It’s this dividend that has increased your insurance each year to its current benefit amount.  Your policy is a great testimony to the financial strength and high growth potential of Knights of Columbus insurance products.  Congratulations on your purchase so many years ago.  Your beneficiaries will certainly appreciate such a large tax free benefit someday!

We are currently seeking motivated and enthusiastic people to join our professional field force of Knights of Columbus agents.  Call or email us if you, or somebody you know, may be interested.

Send your questions to kcquestions@catholic.org or call us at 651-757-4400.  If you would prefer a personal reply, please be sure to provide your contact information.

2nd Sunday Breakfast


The February breakfast will be on February 10th at the St. Tim’s Hospitality center. Shifts are 7:00 to 10:30 A.M. and 10:30 to 2:00 P.M. Please call Donny Hosford to let him know of your interest to work and the shift you can work. We will be having an egg bake with proceeds earmarked toward the St. Tim's Teen Mission trip. Profit from January breakfast was $289.20, which was earmarked toward the council Seminary Funds. 

Fish Fries 

Help!! Lent is just around the corner and our first fish fry will be February 1st. This is a warm up for lent. This year as in years past we will need your help. Come to help when you can. If it seems like there is to much help, come back another week. Help is needed setting up Friday afternoons, during the fish fries, cleaning up after the fish fries, and Saturday mornings usually at 8am for cleaning fryers and cleaning up the kitchen. February 1st help is need as no confirmation group is scheduled to bus tables and serve beverages. 


Thank You,
