KNIGHT OF THE MONTH
It’s often said in organizations that rely on volunteers that 20%,
or somesuch number, of the members actually do the volunteering.
That’s also true at EDW. Within that percentage there’s a group of
guys and families that are machines. They can be counted on to
always be there to help serve our cause. One of these machines is
Chris Hudson. He’s only been a member for 3 years but it feels
like he’s been here forever. The man is at nearly every single event
helping out wherever he can. He doesn’t make a big deal of it, he
just nonchalantly arrives and sees where he can help out and rolls
up his sleeves. Chris also serves EDW as an officer and can be
counted on to be at our meetings offering his advice and viewpoint.
A donation will be made to Chris’s parish, Holy Transfiguration Melkite Greek-Catholic, in honor of his service to the Church
and EDW.
BIO OF DJO LEGENDARY PRINCIPAL
DICK MARTIN
September 17: Mansion
September 20: Family Breakfast
Of Mice and Miracles Presents a Unique Look into the
Life of Dick Martin, Former Bishop O’Connell Principal
A fixture at Bishop O’Connell High School
for nearly 50 years, Richard J. “Dick” Martin
has influenced the lives of many students
in northern Virginia. As a wrestling coach,
teacher, athletic director, assistant principal
and principal, Martin played a significant role
in guiding Bishop O’Connell to excellence in
both education and athletics.
Martin’s experiences and accomplishments
as an educator are detailed in the biography, Of
Mice and Miracles: An American Educator’s
Story. Written by local attorney Frederick J.
Day and published by 2DonnBooks of Reston, Virginia, Of Mice and Miracles explores
Martin’s childhood in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, his development as an
accomplished wrestler at the University of Notre Dame, and his career as
high school teacher, coach and administrator.
Dick Martin and Fred Day will be present at the Edward Douglass
White Council following the council meeting on Thursday, September
17 to discuss Of Mice and Miracles and sign copies of the book. They
will also be present at the Family Breakfast on Sunday, September
20 from 9:00a.m. to noon to sign copies.
Books will be available for purchase at each event at a cost of $15.37.
Payment may be made in cash or by credit card. Individuals who are unable to attend the book signings but would like to purchase a copy of the
book may order a copy using PayPal at the publisher’s website:

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE
HONORING OUR ETERNAL MEMBER
We do several things or try to do several things when members pass
away. First and foremost if they are insurance members the Knights of
Columbus agent responsible for the member and his family will get into
gear and process all policies that are relevant which will provide financial
assistance for the family.
Second in importance is that we want to inform the membership of a
person’s passing and to provide time and place information to them of
the viewing/wake hours, the time and location of the funeral Mass and
reception, if open to the membership. Since deaths are often obviously
unexpected there isn’t a lot of time for the family to work out arrangements amidst their
mourning. So this is tough to ask of you but we earnestly want to know of the arrangements
as soon as they are made so that we can help provide comfort and pay our respects both as
a council and as individual members who have befriended you over the years. Simply have
a member of your family call the Columbus Club office at 703 536 9656 and ask to have
your information relayed to the Grand Knight and Financial Secretary.
We traditionally honor this notification obligation by placing an official Death Notice in
The Washington Post. We will continue to honor this. However we can only do this if we
have the times and locations of the wake, Mass and reception known to us in time to place
in The Post.
We also honor the notification obligation by placing a notice in the Mansion for members
to see and relay to others.
A newer way we honor it is by getting the word out via email. This provides us the ability
to send the information out in real time as we receive it. The downside of this method is that
only a very limited number of members receive the alert.
So, we’d like to ask you to include in your Will or official papers a request for your next
of kin to notify the council of your death when the time comes, which comes to all of us.
We want to honor you and comfort your family, please allow us.
We’d also like to ask each of you that would like to receive emails of official Edward
Douglass White Council Death Notices to sign up for “Death notifications” by visiting
our email system and registering for them. [You can also register for other information that’s available.]
Please visit: bit.ly/EDWesignup to register.
If you already have signed up for various council emails simply open one of them
up and at the very bottom click on the “update subscription preferences” to update
and include “Death notifications”.
Finally, we list every deceased member in the Knight Life monthly who has departed since
our last Memorial Mass, which is held each November. When you see the REQUIESCAT
IN PACE list please offer a prayer for these members and their families.
St. Rodrigo Aguilar Alemán, martyr from council 2330, please pray for us and guide us.
Respectfully,
John White
73RD Grand Knight
SICK AND IN OUR THOUGHTS
Please remember the following members and their families in your daily prayers. If
you have time, give them a call or drop them a note.

MANAGER’S CORNER
PETER SILANO
As we close a very successful summer season, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank the many employees involved, starting
with the camp.
Our Camp Director, Jill Burdick-Zupancic, Assistant Camp Director,
Mary O’Conner, and Extended Day Director, Regina O’Conner have
done a steller job in reorganizing the camp and its procedures. Our
counselors both returning and new have managed to keep our children
happy, healthy, hydrated and entertained the entire camp season.
Our Pool Manager, Leslie Washburn and Assistant Pool Manager
Christian Kerrigan and the “too many to mention” life guards/pool
desk clerks have done a great job managing the pool despite the many
obstacles including a very rainy July.
As always, the Deep End staff, Thom Galvin, Marijo Galvin and
their incredible team who always manage to handle the heat and
volume without complaint.
Lastly the Columbus Club staff Nick Beirne, Jeff Koch, Ruth
Haubert, Maria Diaz, Claudia Giron, Rene Ventura, Jose Cruz, and
Manuel Lezama who take on new responsibilities every season and
rise to the occasion. Special thanks to our new dish employee Sean
Cormany. Sean started at the club a few months ago and worked every
shift requested as well as many, many last minute shifts. Sean has
become a true asset to the Columbus Club and we hope he remains
with us for a long while.
We look forward to seeing you this fall starting with the Labor
Day Picnic, 9/7, End of Year Pool Party, 9/12, Family Breakfast, 9/20,
Oktoberfest Supper Club, 9/25 and the Annual Columbus Club Crab
fest on 10/2/15. All menus are listed elsewhere in this publication.
KNIGHT LIFE
As Brother Knights, we all know that the first principle of the Knights
of Columbus is charity. Most members of EDW, their wives, and family
members likely have some knowledge of EDW’s Redcoats, and how they
serve and benefit our large Council. Most however, are unaware of two
related factors:
(1) EDW Redcoats derive funds from two sources:
(a.) gratuities and donations from customers and other sources; and
(b.) a stipend from our Columbus Club based on numbers of waiters
working during a given period of time; and
(2) what is done with the funds received by EDW’s Redcoats.
We, the Redcoat team captains, thought it was past time to share that
information with you. For well over 50 years there has existed a “Waiter’s
Fund”, carefully overseen by both EDW’s Financial Secretary and the Redcoat team captains. Depending upon the number, and size of bookings and
events hosted by EDW, and served by our dedicated Redcoats, the balance in
the Waiters Fund at any given time may range between $1,000. and $5,000.
Almost from the onset of EDW’s Redcoats, a decision was made to make
periodic contributionsto religious, charitable, and other worthy community
causes (such as disaster relief).
Recently a review of records maintained of Redcoat donations revealed
that since 1994 (or over the past 21 years), EDW’s Redcoats have made
charitable contributions totaling about $73,000, or an average of approximately $3,500 per year.
There are a number of organizations that the Redcoats choose to contribute
to annually. These include: Priests Retirement Fund (Arlington Diocese);
Archdiocese of the Military; Missionhurst; Special Olympics (No. VA
chapter); KOVAR; and of course, EDW’s annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner
for those alone and in need. In addition, over the years similar contributions
have been made to disaster relief programs such as for Katrina Relief, and
similar relief drives.
Practicing the old saying that “charity begins at home”, the EDW Redcoat
team captains have frequently voted unanimously to assist our Council, and
the Columbus Club of Arlington, in purchasing such items as: heavy-duty
picnic tables; wrought-iron furniture for the Council home deck; BBQ grills
for the use of all on our grounds; new, or replacement freezer/refrigeration
equipment in our commercial-grade kitchen; as well as periodic contributions to EDW’s Capital Campaign Fund.
As recently as July-August of this year, we’ve contributed to some new
(to us) charities or worthwhile community programs such as: the James
Lee Youth Sports Assn.; “Food for Families”; “Crossroads Pro-Life”; D.J.
O’Connell H.S. for a “Young Women’s Fall Conference; and last, but not
least, an initial contribution to the Little Sisters of the Poor. This summation
is meant to shed a little more light on what EDW’s Redcoats do in addition
to bartending and serving guests at events, including wedding receptions,
anniversary parties, school fundraising events, etc., etc.
There are five “Redcoat Teams” ranging in size from 15 or so, up to
35. There are approximately 100 active Redcoats, ranging in age from 30’s
on up to late-70’s and early-80’s! We still have a small number of WWII
veterans still serving as Redcoats! If any of our newer, younger Brother
Knights, or even some recently retired and now having more time on their
hands, would like to join our ranks - your more than welcome to do so.
Just reach out and contact one of our Redcoat team captains, who are:
PGK Kenny Goss; Owen Beirne, Jr.; PGK Vince Long; Ray Fioramonti;
or Bob Muschamp (cell # 703-489-2856) Or speak to any Council, or Columbus Club officer. Join us - to help your Council, and to practice Charity.

EDW ENJOYS GREAT DAY AT NATS PARK
EDW Washington Nationals fans enjoyed what could be described
as a single and a half header (the finish of the rain-delayed game from
the day before and the game scheduled for Saturday) on July 18 on a
gorgeous sunny day.
Although the Nats struggled in the second game against the Los
Angeles Dodgers (losing 2-4), EDW members enjoyed a great barbecue
before the game at the mansion, unlimited beverages en route, and raffles
and prizes on the way home.
Thanks to Norm Marcocci, Owen Beirne, and John O’Neill III for

LIFE INSURANCE AS A GIFT?
The initial reaction for many people when you mention life
insurance as a gift is a quick step back and a questioning stare.
“How morbid,” they think. While it may seem that way when you
first mention it, life insurance is really a thoughtful gift that can
be a financial life preserver in tough times.
The problem with life insurance is the general perception.
Many think of death instead of the great benefits it provides, and
the security that it offers – even while you’re alive. Life insurance should be thought of as a precautionary protective measure

someone is when a family has a new baby. It’s a great, low-cost
way to set money aside for the future (i.e. college tuition, housing,
business start-up, etc.). Of greater importance, it ensures these
children will have insurance as adults, in case an illness later in
life makes him or her uninsurable.
Newlyweds are also ideal recipients for life insurance. As they
join their lives and financial responsibilities, young couples need
to make sure that their early investments are fully protected. If
something were to happen to one of them, the other may be faced
with serious financial hardship. A life insurance policy is an ideal
way to ensure their future and protect their assets.
As nontraditional as it may be, life insurance is a wise and
caring gift to purchase for many people.
