Volume 57 No. 6 May-June 2017 Our 92nd Year

My Brothers in Christ,

There is a saying “Time flies when you’re having a good time…”

I can’t believe that these are the final two months for me as Grand

Knight. That’s not to say I can relax just yet. It is going to be a busy

two months. The hectic pace started with Old Timers Night as we

celebrated 34 members who reached various milestones of service to

the Knights of Columbus and specifically Joseph Barry Council.

These men and many others are what make this council a success.

We had two successful social events in March & April with the St.

Patrick’s Day Dance and the Murder Mystery Dinner.

As you probably know we had a delivery problem with the last

issue of The Discoverer. This adversely affected the election of

directors and officers for the Board of the Kenny Club which should have occurred at the annual meeting in

April. A “Special Meeting” will be held June 6, 2017 following the council meeting at which time the election

of Officers and vacant Director Seats will take place.

By the time you read this issue of The Discoverer we will have had our Memorial Mass (5/2) remembering

those members that have passed away, the Blood Drive (5/4 from 2-8pm) and our Communion Breakfast with

guest speaker Jeffrey Wallick (5/7).

Here’s what is happening in the coming weeks:

Election of Joseph Barry Council Officers (6/6), Hawaiian Night (6/10), Joseph Barry Council Awards

Night (6/20), Villa Roma Golf (6/25-27) and Joseph Barry Golf Outing at Spring Lake Golf Club (7/8)

with dinner and awards the following day (7/9)

Please get involved. Joseph Barry council will be all the better with your input. Come to a meeting and

consider helping on one of the many committees/events we have at Joseph Barry throughout the year.

My sincerest thanks for this opportunity to hold the position of Grand Knight. Thank you to all that made a

suggestion, ran an event or just politely reminded me of something that needed to be done. I will never forget

this past year.

Vivat Jesus

A FUN NIGHT OUT FOR KNIGHTS & COLUMBIETTES FRIENDS

AND FAMILY

Protecting Widows – A Founding Goal

As a member of this council, you know how important

spouses can be to the charitable works of the Order. If

you’re married, your wife is probably involved in a

few of the many events that happen each fraternal

year. This support adds great value and impact to what

a council can achieve.

When the Order was founded in 1882, Father Michael

J. McGivney and the other brave men were setting out

to protect Catholic families, but especially wives and

children. Today, we remain committed to this mission

by offering insurance products and fraternal benefits

designed with that goal in mind. One specific policy

rider that you may not know about is called Spousal

Waiver of Premium. This rider is unique to the

Knights of Columbus philosophy of helping our

widows.

This rider is available on most permanent and

Discoverer plans purchased at standard rates by a

member and his wife on the same day. When both

spouses apply, the rider provides for waiver of

premiums on the spouse’s contract in the event of

the insured’s death. Best of all, for members and

spouses ages 18 to 60, this waiver can be added for

no charge. The rider stays in effect until the spouse

attains age 65 or certain other triggering events

occur.

Our products are designed with your needs and

budget in mind. With a solid portfolio of life

insurance, long-term care, disability income and

retirement products, the Knights of Columbus can

help you meet all of your financial goals. To learn

more about these solutions, contact me today.
