An Important Message From Dale and Ed
It’s time for the Biggest Blitz of the year!On the weekend of September 17, 18, &19 there will be hundreds of Brother Knights, Ladies, Friends, and Supporters of the Intellectual Disabilities Drive out on the street corners, in front of stores, shopping malls, post offices, schools, and churches. That weekend is when the Illinois Knights of Columbus will be more visible to the public than at any other time of the year. People everywhere will be asking us about who we are and what we do. Let’s make sure that we have an ample supply of the Intellectual Disabilities Tri-folds available to hand out.
Let’s make sure that every Knight out there has membership pamphlets in his back pocket, and that Form 100's are readily available.
The Opportunity is there, to raise more funds than ever for the Intellectually Disabled , and to give the Opportunity of Membership to many Catholic Gentlemen , and to present the Vision and Opportunity of our Faith to those who may be in need of it.
The track is clear for the Illinois Train to have the best year ever. Our targets are in plain sight. They are beyond last year’s successes. Let’s meet and surpass our Charity opportunities. Let’s meet and surpass our Membership Opportunity. Let’s surpass our Service Opportunities. The Circle of Honor is once again ours for the taking.
Let’s put Illinois back on the big screen when we get to Denver next August. That’s where we belong.
Vivat Jesus, Dale & Ed
