Knight Notes May 2015 - Father Saylor

HOME COUNCIL OF FORMER SUPREME DIRECTOR JULIAN JOSEPH
PUBLISHED BY FATHER SAYLOR COUNCIL # 3774, ALLEN PARK, MICHIGAN
May 2015
Nomination of Officers
Between now and the 3rd of June we will be
going through the sequence of events that will
culminate in the election of our Officers for the
2015-2016 Fraternal Year. Although all offices
are open, the slate of Officers for the highest
ranks consists of gentlemen who have proven
themselves by a history of distinguished
service to Council #3774. There are a wide variety of Offices
that are open to newer and younger members of our Council.
These include the three Guard positions and the Warden. In
addition, in our Council, we have had recent success in finding
new members to accept the financial oversight responsibility
of Trustee. As a Council, over the last four years, we have been
unusually fortunate in getting new members to step forward
and become officers. So if you know a new member who you
think would make a good Guard or Trustee, consult with them,
ask them if they would be willing to participate in
the Process that leads to becoming a Grand
Knight, and place their name in nomination.
The second round of Nominations is at the
General Business Meeting on May 6th. The
Election will be held on June 3rd. Let us work
hard on selecting young members of the Council
that will ultimately lead us on to greatness.

Grand Knight Comments
I attended the annual Clergy Appreciation Night and once again Bishop Foley
hosted an outstanding program. All five
State Officers attended which says a lot
about our district. I want to thank the
25+ members, guests and our 6 invited
Clergy for attending. Father Saylor had the largest representation and it was evident by the cheers when our
Council was announced. It is always nice when a State Officer approaches me and thanks us personally for attending. This is just another proud moment for this Grand
Knight.
Our Deputy Grand Knight is hard at work to prepare for
the upcoming May Crowning. He has decided to have a
Living Rosary this year and needs your help. We are in
need of 60 plus people to conduct this event, so please
contact him to make this a successful event.
We held our first round of nominations for Council Officers and I am proud to announce we have members running for every position. The Council will hold the second
and final nominations at our May business meeting. If you
are interested in running for any position please have
someone nominate you and plan on attending the meeting to accept. The vote will take place at our June meeting.
I will be off to the Annual State Convention on Mackinaw
Island Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to the membership for allowing me to represent the Council. Keeping my
fingers crossed that we will once again receive the Michigan Achievement Award for outstanding service to the
Knights. The State Officers’ wives conduct a basket raffle
to raise funds for Holy Cross Children Services each year
that raises around $ 30,000.00. If anyone is interested in
purchasing raffle tickets or making a monetary donation
please leave an envelope at the Members’ Lounge with
my name on it. I will need your name, address, and phone
number to write on the tickets as I do not have access to
them until I arrive on the Island.
This Memorial Day let us pray for our deceased and current members and their family members who have and
who are presently serving our country in the Armed Forces. We enjoy our freedom because of them.
T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More)
Fraternally,
Scott (Scooter) Kolpasky-Grand Knight
CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
April Showers bring May flowers --- or
so the saying goes. It seems that
Mother Nature is going backwards. The
weather is not the herald of a beautiful,
and warm, Spring Season. But the
reality is that the rains will come and
the flowers will bloom and we shall once again enjoy the
beauty of life around us.
It is time for Spring to bloom and for us to do likewise.
We are on our way to elections of officers, the Knights of
Columbus Convention, and renewed efforts to promote
our Fr. Saylor Council as we also promote our Faith.
Easter calls us to see that the glass is not just half empty
but also half filled. We are called by our Christian
Heritage (being followers of Jesus) to promote the
reality of what ‘Resurrection’ means in our lives. It is a
call to resurrect our lives, our plans, and our hopes.
Our “cause” must be Jesus Christ’s cause. We were told
long ago to go into the whole world and “proclaim the
good news.” I can think of no better way for each and
every knight to proclaim the “Good News” by his
participation in the affairs of the Knights of Columbus.
We freely sought to become a member of this group. By
virtue of our Baptism we were commissioned to make
our membership an avenue by which to proclaim this
good news to all around us.
So I must ask each man who reads this article if he is
ready to be that living sign of Faith that Jesus passed on
to us. Our Father Saylor Council is the ideal place to live
our Faith. It promotes our Christian Faith in the many
activities and opportunities by which others may see us
witnessing to our Faith and our commitment to all that
Jesus asks of us.
Chaplain, Fr. Tom
P.S. Do not forget to be present on May 13 as we honor
Jesus’ Mother, Mary!

KNIGHT NOTES
May 2015
DID YOU KNOW?
You could win $485 if you attend our next
meeting? That is right! Robert Theeck,
could have done just that for showing up
and joining his fellow Brother Knights. You
too could go home with $485 in your
pocket. The best thing is you don’t even
have to tell anyone about it – well at least for a
month – until we publish it in our Knight Notes as the latest
winner! Where else can you go and just by attending a
meeting and win the door prize drawing of $485?
If we don’t call your name for the door prize, maybe we will
call it for the attendance drawing. Just like the door prize,
the attendance drawing is yours just by attending and adding
your name to the list. If we call your name, you would have
a nice amount of cash – $317 in your pocket. Unfortunately,
Sean McKeone wasn’t there so the pot continues to grow. So
come join us, hear what is going on in your Council, have a
beverage and a light snack afterwards and enjoy the
fellowship of your Brother Knights. Hope to see you there.
Knight of the Month– March
Frank Savona
Is a longtime supporter and diligent worker
at our MI dinners. He worked so hard this
year, the next day he had to head to the
hospital for a tune up where he had a
couple of stents inserted. Now that’s
dedication!
Family of the Month – March
Bob & Di Ray
Whenever there is a project for our
families, like the Children’s Christmas
party, Halloween or our recent Easter Egg
hunt you can always count on them to be
there working hard to make sure it all
comes off without any glitches and ensure
the children and their families have a great
time. Thank you both for your efforts and
dedication on behalf of the families of our
Council.
Family of the Month – April
Team Care Bear
If you don’t know who they are – Dave and
Kim Ksiazek, Tim Rozanski, and Joe Elden –
they are the hard working team you saw at
the bowling tournament. They also provided
never ending support and hard work at the
MI Dinner. No matter who is the chairman,
each and every year they are there to help.
Thank you so much for your continued efforts
and caring.

“Through my Eyes”
I saw…a full house of Brother Knights, family and friends
come to the final fish fry of the Lenten season before they
celebrated the Risen Christ three days later. Thanks to Jim
and his team for a job well done and hope everyone had a
Blessed Easter.
I saw… and heard several of our Brother Knights come
back from rooting our Tigers on to victory at the home
opener then returning to the Lounge to continue the
celebration. Our Tigers are off to a great start! Be sure to
stop into the Lounge and catch a game on the big screen and
enjoy some refreshing beverages and great food.
I saw…our winter bowling league season come to an end.
Everyone had a great time. They are looking forward to
next fall when they can begin again to pursue that perfect
300 game. Congrats to the 2015 champions.
I saw… a lot of folks decked out from the days past – the
50’s and 60’s – while enjoying the musical stylings of DJ
Joey at our annual bash in the Lounge. It truly was a blast
from the past!
I saw…a great turn out for the social night to hear John
Doute, owner of D&L Garden Center, (and a member of our
Council) talk and answer questions about lawn and garden
care. Between everyone getting to ask questions and some
of us going home with some great door prizes, everyone
who came went home a winner!
I saw…another great turn out representing our Council at
the annual Clergy Night in support of our priests, religious,
and seminarians. As usual, another great meal served by
our Brothers from the Bishop Foley Council.
I saw…two busloads of gamblers head off to the Fire
Keepers Casino for an afternoon of gambling and fun. They
ended up back at our Lounge for some pizza and
refreshments. And the proceeds went to our MI Drive. Win
or lose, fun for everyone!
I saw…the return of freshly made, Cold Stone Ice Cream
back at our Monthly Steak Nights. Thanks again for the
continued support of our Adopt a Family program. What an
amazing Council we belong to.
Looking forward to seeing you all around the Council taking
advantage of all the programs we have lined up for you this
spring.
Bob Cooper - DGK
Knight of the Month– April
Tony Tucci
Is a member of the kitchen crew on steak
nights and he has been one of our main cooks
whenever we have any special functions like
our recent family dinners earlier this year
along with breakfast for our recent major
degree. Great food and a job well done!
KNIGHT NOTES

Kelly’s Corner
Happy May and Memorial Day! The Lounge will be closed
on Memorial Day. We hope you will enjoy your day! What
about those Tigers and Red Wings! I hope you can make it
down to the Lounge to enjoy the games with us! As we get
ready to settle in to the summer months I hope you can
drop in to see us and enjoy our Lounge. We normally don't
have a lot of entertainment going on as I know we are all
busy supporting our parish festivals and enjoying all that
summer has to offer. Don’t forget to keep us in mind or
give us a call to see if anything is going on! As I talk about
the Lounge I would like to ask a favor of you. If you know
you would like to use the Lounge area for a party or get
together, please let me or the bartender know at least a
week in advance how many people to expect. We need to
know if you will want food, and if there is a certain beer or
liquor your group will be drinking. We always enjoy the
business and the chance to serve you and your guests, but
if I don't order correctly we may run out of your favorite
food or beverage. Thank you in advance! Enjoy the month
and safe travels to all of you!
Until next month.... Jim

So come, have a steak, garlic bread and a baked potato.
Treat your wife to the best salad she will ever experience. And have a beer with us. And to cap off the experience, go visit Bob Cooper for an ice cream treat and
donate to support one of the most heart-warming programs that the Fr. Saylor Council operates. Last year

couple of deserving families.
We hope to see you there on

price is $12 for a good sized
Strip Steak ($6 for a child's
portion)

The 80’s are Back
We celebrated the 50's, 60's and 70's. Now it is time to look back
at the 80's by demand of our Worthy Grand Knight. The era that
changed how we saw and heard music forever! Come join us on
Saturday June the 13th for an 80's dance party. Remember big
hair, spandex pants, Nike high tops and more. The 80's brought
new wave bands, long hair and make-up, and Milli Vanilli. Yours
truly (DJ Joey M) will be playing all the hits of the 80's as we
relive the era that brought us MTV, Madonna and a whole lot
more. This event will take place in our Members’ Lounge starting
at 7:30pm until close. Our usual 50/50 raffles will be sold and
there will be two door prizes
awarded for best dressed and
best dance moves from this
decade. You know you still
have clothes and pictures
from the 80's so put them on
display. Come enjoy the era
that changed it all. As always
keep checking your monthly
Knight Notes for upcoming
events.
Sincerely,
Joe 'Class of 89' Martinez,

Have You Insured Your Most Valuable Asset?
Is your income protected if you become sick or injured and cannot work? Your ability to work and earn an income is
your most valuable asset. Yet a disability could prevent you from earning that income. Just one year of a disability
could eliminate your savings.
Income Armor, an individual disability income insurance product from the Knights of Columbus, should be a key part
of your overall financial plan and family’s protection.
If you are ill or injured, Income Armor provides tax-free monthly benefits to help you meet living
expenses and maintain you and your family’s standard of living. Your monthly benefits help you
pay your mortgage and other monthly bills, while your savings and retirement assets remain
intact.
In short, if you have a job and don’t have a way to protect that paycheck, you should seriously
consider Income Armor today. I look forward to meeting with you.
