INSURANCE NEWS

A new fraternal year is upon us. Congratulations to Ed Wendling our newly elected grand knight, as well as all the other dedicated brother Knights who will serve in either an elected and appointed leadership position in the coming year. I’m sure you have a list of goals and objectives that you intend to accomplish during the coming year. You have my assurance that I’m eager to help.

One of these goals is surely the attainment of the Star Council award - the most prestigious award the Order offers at the council level. I’m certainly committed to helping on the insurance side, but I’ll be glad to help on the membership side as well.

If you know an eligible Catholic man who might be interested in joining the Order (and who among us doesn’t), he’s probably just waiting to be asked. I can help you, either by approaching him myself, or by “coaching” you – transferring sales skills that you can use to recruit him and other prospects. As always, I’m at your service.

Let’s get an early start on attaining those goals and objectives that are so critical to the growth of any council!

I, along with the newly installed officers, look forward to making this year a great success.

Vivat Jesus!

Ed Wendling
