Our K of C Sports Fish Club will be having a meeting in the Council
Home on Thursday June 23rd at 7pm. We will be discussing the progress
on planning our crab feast for Friday August the 5th. Also several people

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE
Jenifer, Allison and I want to thank each of you who made the last two
years a remarkable time for us. We hope that in some small way we were a
part of EDW’s continued growth and mission to serve God and the Church.
I want to especially thank each family who were constantly there when
EDW or someone we were acting on behalf of, needed a helping hand. You
were there when we needed turkeys cooked for the needy in Northern Virginia. You were there when events needed to be manned whether they were
for the various children’s events, the Thanksgiving dinner, the Honor Flight
missions, or the many Red Coat bookings, to name a few. You were there for
the food and clothing drives. You were there financially when an Arlington
family was devastated and needed help getting back on their feet. You were there with prayers
and caring when a neighborhood family faced the loss of their wife and mother and you helped
keep Jennifer Bush-Lawson’s memory alive by hosting a 5K race that provided funds to help
240 Arlington at-risk mothers carry their babies to full term and provided medical care for the
children’s first year of life. You were there for a special Rosary circle in unity and prayer for the
Paris victims of terrorism. You were there every Sunday in Mary’s Circle praying the Rosary. You
were there to donate to Virginia’s Special Olympics program when I insanely agreed to dive into
the Atlantic Ocean in January. You were there when St. Agnes called and needed Rosaries and
Miraculous Medals for Kenya. You were there when St. James called and needed to get Mass kits
to Cameroon for priests who couldn’t afford to purchase their own. You were there with a strong
back when fellow brothers needed help moving their belongings. You were there for many more
too-numerous-to-mention occasions.
And you are there now purchasing Solidarity Crosses to raise funds for our fellow
Christians who are quite literally under the knife in Iraq and Syria. We have these Crosses
available until the end of June. Please make this final charity drive of the fraternal year be
productive for those who can’t imagine the kind of life we live.
As I wrote in the May 2015 Knight Life: “This is all a way of saying I see the Knights of
Columbus as a calling to aid people in need of a helping hand. We don’t just parade around we
get our hands dirty. Knights don’t care if the people in danger are Catholic or atheist, we help all.
I saw a story of a woman who wanted to travel to an area to help after a natural disaster struck.
She told a friend that she doesn’t know how she can help once she gets there.
“The person simply replied, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘don’t worry the Knights of Columbus will
already be there, just find them’. That is why I’m a knight; we get things done where it’s needed.
We don’t fight silly ideological battles ranting away on blogs or shouting over people, we simply
get the job done. As far as membership in our Order we don’t judge the level of your Faith, if we
did I would never have been accepted into the Knights. If you find us in good faith we will put
you to work one way or another.”
This story easily could be talking about EDW because you are always there when we’re needed.
When Jenifer and I moved to Arlington in 2004, we were walking around the neighborhood
and walked past a mansion. We wondered who the heck lived there?! We walked a little further
and saw the Knights of Columbus sign so decided to walk around the campus hoping not to get
arrested for trespassing. Once we passed the mansion, Jenifer stopped in her tracks and hit me
in the chest. With a big smile on her face she ordered me to join the Knights the next day. Yeah,
she saw the pool! So as a dutiful husband I joined as quickly as possible. Little did I know how
vibrant this council was. We are fortunate that families before us had the foresight to move EDW
to Reserve Hill in 1951. Because of what we have we are uniquely able to provide a different level
of help and aid to those in need either physically, spiritually or materially. We can do things that
never would be possible if we were headquartered in a parish hall, such as our Thanksgiving dinner.
In the most sincere way we possibly can say it, thank you very much for letting us be a part of
this rare and unique Catholic fraternity of families known as EDW. It has been a blessing to have
been chosen to lead our council for the past two years. As I’ve told many people I quite honestly
“led from behind” so as not to get in the way of the many volunteers who do an outstanding job
year after year. Every success we had was due to each family that stepped up and honored the
oath you took when you joined the Knights of Columbus.
Vivat Jesus,
John White
73rd Grand Knight

KNIGHT LIFE
KNIGHTS STAND UP TO OPPRESSION OF CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
campaign to support Christians suffering persecution in Iraq,
Syria, and beyond. So far, nearly $10 million have been
raised for this fund with 100% of these donations going to
humanitarian assistance and funding efforts to raise awareness
of persecuted Christians and other religious minorities. The
yearly Dues you pay to be Knights helped fund those relief
efforts, we can be proud of the work being done in our name.
Sadly, so much more is needed to support those who are
suffering. To support Supreme’s efforts, EDW is getting
directly involved now. We’ve purchased several hundred
olivewood crosses that are crafted in the Holy Land to sell
and 100% of all sales will go directly to support the Christian
Refugee Relief Fund.
Our Christian brothers and sisters, as well as people
from other faiths, are being displaced, tortured, sold, and
murdered. The ongoing Syrian civil war and the rise of ISIS
in Iraq and Syria have led to many civilian deaths, perpetration of numerous forms of atrocities, and mass population
displacement. We’ve discussed this in previous Knight Life
editions, now it’s time to act.
Religious and ethnic minorities within these regions
have been deliberately and methodically targeted for horrendous violence and death. Amongst those victims are our
own Christian brothers and sisters who have faced almost
unimaginable forms of persecution. The circumstances faced
by Christians and other religious and ethnic minorities are
so dire that the United States, at the urging of the Knights
of Columbus, and other nations have declared the atrocities
taking place to be a coordinated genocide.
Since 2014 the Knights have organized the Christian
Refugee Relief Fund and launched the Christians at Risk
KNIGHT LIFE
We need everyone to please buy one or more Crosses

LUK wants to take this opportunity to wish all dads a very happy and
special Father’s day. June is here, which means that this month in the
Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night of the year occur
on or about June 22. Called the Summer Solstice, it marks the beginning
of summer – yeah!!
Thanks to all of you that stopped by the LUK tent during the Memorial
Day Picnic. We will be back on July 4th. Beginning around 2:00, LUK
will set up our table and sell delicious homemade baked goods. Kathi
Daylor will also be walking around selling 50/50 tickets. Buy one; it

proceeds go toward refurbishing the Old Council Home. So stop by and
grab a bite to eat and say hello.
Once again, I want to thank everyone who participated in the success
of the Tea Party and Baby Shower to support the organization “A Woman’s
Choice.” The generosity from the LUK community was overwhelming
as you can see by the photos. Nine moms and their newborn babies will
benefit from the wonderful donations. Thanks to Alison Broadbent for
her hard work in organizing this event and to all of the LUK members
for setting up, preparing food, buying gifts and making it a special day
for the invitees. Special thanks to Scott, who helped LUK by loading
up his truck and taking the excess items to A Woman’s Choice in Falls
Church. As always, we collected many items, which will help the new
mothers and their children for years to come. Check out the photos in
this month’s Knight Life.
SAVE THE DATE and mark your calendars – open to everyone!
LUK is hosting an adults’ only Margarita bash on Saturday, June 18

Donations for Margaritas will be accepted. Any donations received will
go toward refurbishing the Old Council Home. See ad in this month’s

KNIGHT LIFE
DON’T ASSUME YOU CAN’T AFFORD
DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE
One of the biggest mistakes you can make regarding
disability insurance is to assume you can’t afford it or you
won’t qualify. Before you make that assumption, do some
basic research and apply for coverage through the Knights
of Columbus. The Order’s Income Armor product gives
you options that can help you fit this critical protection
into your risk management budget.
Here are two ways you can reduce your premium:
1. Choose a two-year or five-year maximum benefit period.
Depending on your age, the best option is probably a policy that pays
benefits until you reach age 67. But a two-year or five-year duration benefit
period would cover disabilities you might encounter in your working life.
2. Choose a longer elimination period.
An elimination period is the number of days a total disability must
exist before benefits begin to accrue. Typical elimination periods are 30,
90, or 180 days. Choosing a longer elimination period lowers the policy’s
premium. But be sure you have enough set aside in your contingency fund
to account for the longer gap.
As your professional insurance agents, risk management is our specialty.
Let’s talk about how to protect your income, your retirement needs, and
your family’s financial future.

EDW EARNS COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
At the annual Virginia State Knights of Columbus convention in April,
EDW Council was awarded the State’s Community Activity of the Year
Award by outgoing State Deputy Stephen P. Raschke.
The award was in recognition of our ongoing Honor Flight mission which is chaired by
Owen Beirne Jr.
Grand Knight, John White, accepted the
award on behalf of the council and recognized
all of the hard work that has gone into the
Honor Flight mission by Owen and his team
of volunteers.
The award is hanging in the Main Hall corridor.
Thank you Owen and the volunteers who
make our veterans welcome and comfortable
while visiting the capital region.
KNIGHT LIFE
KNIGHT OF THE MONTH
FAMILY OF THE MONTH
I decided when I became Grand Knight that I would only select brothers who have not yet been honored as a Knight of the Month. I am going
to break that rule for my final selection.
Anyone who knows the very first thing about EDW as we relate to the
larger Knights of Columbus Order knows that Bob Dannemiller is the
strong steady backbone of our council. I’ve said repeatedly that I rely on
good men and women to do what they do best to make EDW the success
that it is. Well the massive cornerstone of this building is Bob. Bob is our
“hands”. He’s the guy that gets the paperwork to the right people at State
and Supreme on time, every time. He’s the guy we go to to find out who
best to deal with at State or Supreme on such and such a matter. Who do
we go to when we’re working on military matters, either for funerals or
matters of protocol when we have general officers attending Honor Flight
missions? Bob. Who is a workhorse of the Red Coat teams? Bob. Who’s the
undeniable boss of the dish room at the Family Breakfast? Bob. Who’s the
go-to person for auction items for the Christmas party and charity auctions?
Bob. When the gazebo needed to be torn down, who stepped up to get it
done? Bob. Who’s the person we go to when Hospitality Suites need to
be organized and fully stocked at State meetings? Not Bob. Sorry, Bob.
For that we rely on the better Dannemiller, Amy. We laugh that when
we ever want to see Bob fall in line and take orders just watch him with
his wife, Amy. No, Amy doesn’t rule over him, she politely and kindly lets
Bob and the rest of us know what we should be doing and we dutifully
fall in. The hundreds of pies we serve as single slices at the Thanksgiving
dinner? Those pies do not come to us already cut into slices, the person
who does that every year is Amy. These are just two examples of the
kindness and generosity Amy shows us. Amy’s devotion to her family and
to our mission is indisputably an act of love and grace in service to God.
For every single thing the two of you have done for me personally and
for EDW thank you, Bob and Amy, and Godspeed.
A gift will be made to the Diocese’s WorkCamp 2016 in the Dannemillers honor.
With much love and debt,
John White

IN UNITY WITH OUR PRIESTS
EDW’s family rose to the occasion once again. We were honored to
be asked by Fr. Mbinkar, a visiting priest, from Cameroon, at St. James
while he is studying at Catholic University of America, to aid two of his
religious brothers in the central African nation. These priests, much like
Fr. McGivney when he started out as a priest, need assistance to help them
serve the people of their diocese.
Fr. Mbinkar asked EDW if we could provide the essentials that a priest
needs to conduct the Holy Mass. As a council we’re tasked to aid those in
our parishes and our immediate neighborhood while keeping an eye on the
larger picture. We need to positively impact the world in as many ways as
we possibly can. Aiding a St. James priest is a no brainer.
With two emails sent to Knights at St. James and to families signed
up to receive info on the Diocese we quickly collected enough money to
purchase the items, to cover the shipping charges and to provide the priests
with some cash to aid their mission.
Thank you to everyone who stood up to aid our priests.
