District Deputy's ReportBill Kinsella

January - February 2010

Happy and Blessed New Year.  I hope Santa Claus was good to everyone.

The next couple of months  are going to be very busy for the Councils in the Distrct. It will start with the Grand Knights and Deputy Grand Knights attending the State Mid-term meeting on Saturday January 9th at Cardinal Gibbons Council in Baltimore. The husbands will be working hard while the wives are enjoying a dinner and the play Oklahoma.  The men and women will attend Mass and banquet later in the day.  All of the Grand Knights and Deputy Grand Knights will be attending this event.  Most of the wives will  be attending.

As always membership is the life line of all Councils.  None of the Councils in the District have met their STAR Council requirements for the year.  The District is in better shape this year than last year but still have work to do.
During January and February the District will hold two first degrees and a second degree.  Some recruitment blitz’s will be held in January. 

The Grand Knights, Program Directors, and Financial Secretaries will be busy filing reports that are due in January. Namely 2nd quarter program reports, council members activity reports etc. and working on the council audits due in mid February.

On January 15th two of our councils will be having activities that could use you and/or wife support.  If you like spaghetti then head to St. Katharine Drexel.  If you rather play basket bingo, then head to Jefferson where Archbishop John Carroll is sponsoring a Basket Bingo. You may contact the Grand Knights or the District webpage for additional information.

I hope you are as excited as I am looking forward to the next six months, and the State Convention in May.

Fraternally,

Bill Kinsella DD # 5
