As we all know, membership in the Knights of Columbus and especially our council is something we should all take great pride in. I know I do. That is why it should be very easy to recommend joining our organization to others. Please think about this the next time you go to church or any other function when you meet fellow Catholic gentlemen, Don't be bashful, just ask them if they are Knight. If they say yes, invite them to our meeting. If they say no, ask them to join.
I realize that many of you would have a hard time explaining all the programs that we are involved in. That is why at our Nov. 21 meeting we are going to do something different. I am asking every member that is coming to the meeting to bring along a potential new member. What we are planning is to conduct a very short business meeting without the Program Directors reports. The business meeting should last about 15 minutes and then we will invite the prospects in for the Program Directors reports. Each director will explain what their program involves. This will cover all the programs so you don't have to attempt to explain them. Hopefully, after hearing about all of the great things the Knights of Columbus and our council does for the church and the community, the prospective new members will be ready to join!
Please, take advantage of this opportunity and do your part---ASK someone to come with you on Nov. 21. Better yet, offer to pick them up and bring them to the meeting. This will go a long way in showing this prospect that you really do want them.
