Chaplain’s Report
My Dear Brothers:
June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As Jesus said to St Mary Margaret Alacoque:
“This is the heart that has so much loved mankind, to be broken open by a lance so that all people may find refuge in this
heart.”
The feast of the Most Sacred Heart Of Jesus is June 15th. The month of June is designated because every day, a special
prayer, and sacrifice, should be made for the conversion of sinners, and to bring back home the fallen-away Catholic.
Smile, God loves you and so does Fr Fausto,
Father Fausto Stampiglia, Chaplain
Columbus Association of Sarasota Inc.
Notice of Annual Meeting
The annual mandatory meeting of the Columbus Association will be held immediately
following the regular business meeting of the Knights of Columbus on Thursday July 5th
2012. If you are a member of Knights of Columbus Council #3358 you are also a member of
the Columbus Association of Sarasota. You must be a member of Council #3358 to attend this
meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to elect three, three year director positions and one
special election for a two year director term. During this meeting we will conduct all other such
business that may come before the membership.
We Need Your Help
Is there something that you enjoy doing that may be of help to the Columbus Association? From
time to time we need help. Whether it is setting up, or taking down chairs and tables for an
event, or researching something that we have questions about. Occasionally we could use help
with general repairs, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall repair, painting, and decorating.
Do you have a truck that you could help us haul something? Occasionally we may need to call
on you for a project. We are trying to set up a list of people that we can count on when we need
help. Please let us know how you can help us, email columbushall@hotmail.com , send a letter
to the Hall at 4880 Fruitville Rd Sarasota FL 34232, call Columbus Association President Chris
Dibert (941) 302-0511, or sign up in the lounge on the bulletin board. If you are interested in
taking a more active role in the Columbus Association, please contact Chris Dibert during the
month of June.
Special thanks to Mike Thoma, Manager of Bright Sky in Sarasota. He gave us an incredible
deal on a 60” flat screen TV for our lounge. He volunteered his time and supplies to help install
this TV. We are all looking forward to football season!

Grand Knight’s Report for June 2012
My brother knights:
My term as Grand Knight is coming to a close. I only hope that I was able to complete some of the goals we had
set for our council for the year 2011-2012. As you are aware, there were times when we were thinking about
selling the building and moving over to St. Martha’s for our meetings. It was a trying time in our council affairs
which we pulled through with flying colors.
In the month of June, there will be elections of officers for the next fraternal year at which time I respectfully
request that we participate in the attendance and the elections, this is a crucial part of the next incoming Grand
Knight.
I have been blessed with your support since my return as Grand Knight for which I am deeply grateful. It has
been a pleasure for me to say you, as members of 3358, and you came to rescue and we forged ahead. There are
so many members who came and joined in the battle to save what we thought we deserved and should continue
to keep in the family as good and honest members of Our Lady of Victory Council 3358.
I might mention also that we were granted a new District Deputy who took the bull by the horns and helped to
eliminate what had been placed upon us and tied our hands where we were not able to function as a honorable
council from the State of Florida. This in itself was a great relief to all concerned. My hat goes off to DD Tom
Anzelone for all his cooperation over the last few months.
For the new officers who are elected, I believe that we are now ready to carry on the tradition and to support
them as much as possible. As a Past Grand Knight, I promise to give all I can, as I did as Grand Knight to
support whatever we have scheduled in the future. This, I believe should be the attitude from all the members.
My term as Grand Knight was not always pleasant however, when I called out, you were there and that was very
important to me at the time. I want to say, God bless each and everyone of you for your kindness, your support,
your willingness to work and most of all, your friendship over the last year.
Remember one thing, the place where we meet is our home and that council 3358 will always be in that building
which serves as not only our meeting place but all the functions that we plan for the year are carried out there as
well. Stay focused on all the events that are planned and try to attend each and every one of them so we can be a
proud and happy family of knights here in Sarasota.
God bless,
Sal Naimo, Grand Knight
