Brothers,

As you know, the Covid 19 emergency has thrown our Knights of Columbus plans right out the window.  The new Degree ceremony set for March 29 has been postponed indefinitely and the council officers meeting scheduled for the same evening is called off.  In fact, the council won’t meet again at least until the churches of Good Shepherd Parish are back open.

We have important things to do in the meantime.  One is to work up and vote on a slate of council officers for the Fraternal Year 2020—2021.  Another is to keep up with publishing the council newsletter.  A third is to make a concerted effort to get and keep in touch with our Brother Knights of the council.  Very likely, some of our fellows will need help in the coming weeks, whether they are ill, shut in at home in self quarantine or going through some other difficulty.  Accordingly, I encourage all who are able to help Brother Knights, neighbors, friends and others any way you can.  Reach out and ask if others are in need.  Also, I encourage all who can use help to ask for it—we are here for each other.  The ideals of Charity, Unity and Fraternity shine brighter than ever right now.  Living up to them will see us through.

Contact any of these individuals to ask for help or offer it, and to pass along news so we can keep up with our Brothers’ changing situations:

    207-468-7324     Dave McDonald, Grand Knight

    207-205-2403     Adrien Picard, Deputy Grand Knight

    207-468-0106     Mike Bolduc, District Deputy & Past GK

    207-205-9779     Jerry Letellier, Faithful Navigator/4^th Degree & Past GK

    207-468-7373     Denis Litalien, Publicity Director & Past GK

Thank you, Brothers.  There is no bunch of guys I would rather go through a crisis with than the present company.  All the best!

Fraternally,

Dave McDonald
