Grand Knight’s Corner – Chester Ostrowski

A new fraternal year is about to begin. After our recent

elections, I would like to express many thanks to Alan

Brandemihl for his years of service in an active

leadership position and to welcome Mike Felczak as a

new council officer. With the car show in our rearview

mirror it is time to look ahead to Texas Hold Em’, the

parish picnic, the Halloween party and many other

worthwhile events. Please use good common sense

when driving as many people may be visiting and not

sure of their location. Enjoy the season and remember

your faith.

"Hi, My name is __________"

These are 5 of the nicest words that you can say to anyone new, especially our new

Dooley Knights. By saying them, you show them that we're friendly & that they

are our Brothers in Christ. (Fraternalism). If one of us does this to a new member,

they'll feel good. If all of us do this, they'll feel overwhelmed. And that's what we

want.

To help you know who our new members are, we have given them all "Red Stars"

on their name tags. They'll keep these stars on for their first year as a knight.

Please help us "overwhelm" our new Brothers, by greeting them, one-on-one. We

know they'll be more likely to become active if they "feel" like they belong to

Dooley.

ANNUITIES

The beauty of our annuity products lies squarely in their simplicity and security. They are simple

from the standpoint that they're fixed in nature. They provide long-term accumulation of wealth,

specifically designed for retirement needs. There are no hidden management fees or annual charges.

(Surrender charges may apply).

Secure because they are backed by the Knights of Columbus, an organization that earns the highest

ratings from independent rating services while maintaining high ethical standards. Our investment

philosophy is consistent with the nature of the funds entrusted to us. We invest in vehicles that

generate competitive rates for you, while assuring absolute safety of your retirement nest egg.

Whether you're looking to start a retirement savings program or moving substantial, more volatile

funds into 'safer waters', the Knights of Columbus offers programs that can help you achieve your

goals.
