Important January Reminder Every council must submit the Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity (#1728) by January 31. This short training video explains the simple process of online submission. Please share this information with your councils and follow up to ensure your district has 100% compliance.  Ongoing Challenge One Knight-One Man-Every Mass I know this was an October Challenge, but why would we limit ourselves to just one month. Keep going and help Texas be #1 in the Order! By this simple act – your council could easily make your Star Council goal this month. You’d probably double it. There isn’t a better gift that you can give a man of your parish than the gift of membership in the Knights of Columbus. All you have to do is ask. The harvest is there – we just need to bring it in.  The Fraternal Leader Advisory which comes out on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, will have the updated training schedule and we will keep you advised through this email each month. Be sure you are checking this out for some great information.
