Jim Almeida, Family Chairman
Worthy Grand Knights, Financial Secretaries, and District Deputies:
For those of you that may not know me, I am James R. Almeida, Jr., the State Family Chairman. I just want to start the fraternal year off by letting our District Deputies, Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries know about Family of the Month. I know a lot of councils already are a part of it, but there are many that are not. I just want to emphasize that the family does not have to include a Knight to be submitted. We all know that family in the parish that seems to do a lot for the church, school and community. They usually do the work that no one else is quick to volunteer for. Families like those who always seem to donate the most food on a small household budget, find clothes to donate and pick up other children in case of emergency if the parents cannot make it. I have included a flyer to use for Council Family of the Month; it can be modified if needed. We also have a State Family of the Month Certificate which will be presented, following selection from the Family of the Month nominees submitted by Councils to Supreme and to the State.
Family of the Month nominations using Form 10784 for each month are due to Supreme by the 15th of the following month. Following is the link:

Please remember to send a copy of your Council nominations to the State Fraternal Office at illinoiskc@illinoisknights.org
I will keep you all posted on what is coming next. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you all for what you do and God Bless!
James R. Almeida, Jr.
Knight of the Month
By Clicking here, you can recognize a member who has done something extra or special this month. Your council should have at least 9 men nominated during the year. The guy that washes dishes is also a good pick as is the father in your Family of the Month nomination. Each month State will recognize a Knight of the Month with a certificate to be presented by the Grand Knight or District Deputy.
