Grand Knight’s Corner – Chester Ostrowski
Several things are about to happen in our council. Foremost
on this list is our annual election of officers. I wish to take this
opportunity to encourage all eligible members to consider
running for an elected office. We need to continue getting new
leadership because that brings in new ideas and allows our
council to grow and remain strong. The nomination process
starts in April and elections are in May. Office terms are for
one year. Next June finds us sponsoring our annual car show
on the parish grounds. During the month of July we will be
having our inaugural golf outing followed by dinner and
prizes. The moneys earned in the June and July events will
help us in our charitable acts so I am asking for all that can
help us please do.
At this time, I wish to thank all of the elected officers and the
appointed directors as well, for their help, support, and
guidance these last two years. I also extend my most gracious
thanks to all the members of this great council and their
families who have been there doing what needed to be done.
Last but not least are the Past Grand Knights from whom I
have learned a lot.
As I said almost two years ago No Man Is an Island No Man
Lives Alone. Please remember we are strongest when we all
work as one serving others.

The BIG 6 The Activation Team would like to thank all the Knights who helped mentor our newest members over the past year. We are also looking for Knights who would be interested in serving as Mentors over the next year. As a Mentor, you would be responsible for helping a new Knight become active in our Council. You would be asked to: · Contact a new Knight in advance to remind him to attend our monthly Membership Meetings. · Inform the new Knight of upcoming activities and volunteer opportunities in which he may be interested in participating. · Inform the new Knight of Major Degree Ceremonies in the area if he is only a First Degree Knight. Ideally, a Mentor will attend the Major Degree Ceremony with the new Knight. · Assist the new Knight in completing the requirements for the Shining Armor Award, if in his first year as a Knight, or the Michigan Shining Armor Award, if in a later year. · Introduce the new Knight to brother Knights and make the new Knight feel welcome at Council events. · Strive to develop a “Big Brother” type of friendship with the new Knight and encourage dialogue to help him gain a deeper understanding of the principles and core priorities of the Knights of Columbus.
It is important that we encourage/help our new members to become active. Please consider serving as a Mentor. Contact Dan Vecchioni, e-mail [email protected], phone 734.591.9318.
YOUTH GROUP FUNDRAISER
Please help support out Youth Groups in their projects this coming year. These are projects to help them grow in their
Christian faith and do so much good for the people they serve. Some of the things they will be working on and need funding
for are:
• “Young People Who Care” mission trip to help people in Appalachia (Frenchville, Pa.) in June.
• “Just 5 Days” Jr. High mission to St. Joseph, MI.
• “Young Neighbors in Action” mission to Winnebago Indian Reservation in Nebraska.
• High School Retreats in Fall and Spring
• Rainbow Conference in January
Please join us for a great breakfast and support our Youth Groups as they participate in these projects. Donations are also
accepted and appreciated.

WHAT OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DO
The Knights donate money and deliver supplies donated by local merchants to “Sister Judie’s Outreach” in memory of Sister Judie at “Good Shepherd Church” near downtown Detroit in a ministry to the homeless and low-income people in the surrounding area.
The Knights donate time and money to support the efforts of Corpus Christi Parish in Detroit with its outreach to the low-income people in its neighborhood and to Gianna House that supports and teaches unwed mothers to keep and raise their children.
The Knights prepare and serve pancake breakfasts and spaghetti dinners to raise money for various charities.
The Knights participate in the statewide Tootsie Roll Drive to raise funds for our citizens with intellectual disabilities.
The Knights support the seminarians at Sacred Heart, St. Cyril and Methodious and other seminaries with funds to help defray expenses, along with direct seminarian support.
The Knights award annual scholarships in the name of the late Richard Stanisz to selected children and grandchildren of Knights in good standing.
The Knights support over 36 charities statewide from our “Take Five” program. Each member donates an extra $5 with his annual dues.
The Knights and their spouses assist St. Colette Parish with the family picnic and “Donut Sundays.”
The Knights assist with parish blood drives four times each year and an annual Halloween party for the parish families.
The Knights support “RIGHT TO LIFE” programs throughout the year.
The Knights collect and wrap sweatshirts for boys and girls and deliver them to Holy Cross Children’s Services during the Christmas season.
The Knights also offer many opportunities for spiritual growth and social activities that include the Knights and their families. This helps bring us together in friendship and energizes and inspires us in the practice of our Faith and in service to others.
The Knights meet on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00PM with a light meal, dessert and camaraderie at 6:00PM to which prospective new members are welcome.
We welcome new members at anytime.

ANNUITIES
The beauty of our annuity products lies squarely in their simplicity and security. They are simple
from the standpoint that they're fixed in nature. They provide long-term accumulation of wealth,
specifically designed for retirement needs. There are no hidden management fees or annual charges.
(Surrender charges may apply).
Secure because they are backed by the Knights of Columbus, an organization that earns the highest
ratings from independent rating services while maintaining high ethical standards. Our investment
philosophy is consistent with the nature of the funds entrusted to us. We invest in vehicles that
generate competitive rates for you, while assuring absolute safety of your retirement nest egg.
Whether you're looking to start a retirement savings program or moving substantial, more volatile
funds into 'safer waters', the Knights of Columbus offers programs that can help you achieve your
goals.
