We have several changes
we will be making in the
months ahead. We have
been looking at other
successful Bingo
operations to see what
works for them. We have
a lot of good ideas and will
meet with Bingo and Pull
Tab Captains to make
changes. Once we have
decided on the changes to
be made we will give the
players advance notice of
the changes. We hope to
make our Bingo meet the
expectations of the players
and increase our sales at
the same time. We will
stay smoke free.
We will begin serving food
every Friday night
starting this month. We
will begin on June 12th
and if successful we will
continue serving food
every Friday. We plan to
serve meals as low as $4.
The menu will include
hamburgers, breaded
chicken sandwich, grilled
chicken, breaded pork
chop sandwich, fish
sandwich, French fries,
onion rings, cheese sticks,
and a kids menu to start.
We will add more items or
adjust the menu as
needed. The bar will be
open for service. Hours
will be from 5-7:30 pm
every Friday. We will
need to build a few teams
of three per team. Each
team will need a licensed
bartender, a cook, and
someone to take orders.
At least 4 teams will be
needed. We will be
looking for volunteers.

Election of Officers will take
place at our meeting this
month. Please plan to
attend the meeting and take
part in the election. The
next few years will be a
challenge for us as we look
to change and improve our
revenue stream. I think we
have some good ideas and

to everyone who helped in making
this a fun day for the little ones.
Your efforts are much appreciated!

The Simplest Things
Sometimes it is easy to overlook
the simplest of things. Take the
beneficiaries on your life insurance
policies. If your policy was applied
for and issued several years ago, it
could very well be that the person
you originally selected as the
beneficiary is no longer the person
you would want to receive the
policy proceeds. If you bought the
policy when you were single, for
example, you may have named
your parents as beneficiaries. If
you have since been married, that
could be updated to reflect your
spouse or your children.
Most people list a primary
beneficiary – that person is
specifically designated as the first
in priority to receive policy
proceeds. We also encourage the
naming of a contingent beneficiary
– an alternate person designated
to receive policy proceeds, usually
in the event that the original
beneficiary pre-deceases the
insured.
I routinely call all of our
policyholders for annual review
appointments, usually near the
anniversary date of your policy –
Family of the Month
I look forward to meeting with
each of you.

John and Amy Marshek have been selected as our Family of the
Month for May. John and Amy have two children, Trevor and
Teagan. John is a member of a Bingo team, Fish Fry Team,
Habitat for Humanity Build Team and also participates in our
council’s annual Tootsie Roll Drive. John and his family are
members of St. Mary’s Parish where John is a collection counter,
Parish Council member, and is involved with the building and
grounds committee. Amy completed the RCIA program in 2009.
She is a member of the social committee, and along with John,
helps St Mary’s with their annual Persimmon Festival Dinner.
Amy is a Master Gardner, soccer coach, and helps Habitat for
Humanity with her landscaping talents. Trevor and Teagan are
avid pop tab collectors, soccer players, and help out at St. Mary’s
with cleanup after parish events. Treavor is also an alter server.
Congratulations to John, Amy, Trevor and Teagan for being
selected as our Family of the Month!

One of the matters that I’ll discuss
during this review is the status of
your beneficiary designations. If
they need updating, and they often
do, I can complete the paperwork
during that appointment.

while we make the needed
changes.
I have enjoyed the last three years
as Grand Knight; however I am
looking forward to my new position
as Trustee (if elected). I would
like to thank everyone for all their
hard work and support during my
time as Grand Knight.
Congratulations to Darrell and Fraternally,

Electronic Newsletter - Running the Numbers
We now have 28 members who
have requested to receive the
Knightly News by email. Does this
really amount to any significant
savings? Well, lets look at the
numbers.
The last invoice for printing of our
monthly newsletter was $88 for a
quantity of 265 newsletters. This
averages out to a cost of about 33
cents each. Mailing of newsletters,
at our bulk postage rate, is about
16 cents per newsletter. So, to
print and mail one newsletter
we’re looking at a cost of about 49
cents per month or $5.88 per year.
Multiply this by the 28 members
who are now receiving the
Knightly News electronically and
you’ll see that we are already
saving $164.64 per year.
Is this going to make us or break
us? No! Will this help us out in the
middle of difficult economic times?
Absolutely!
We fully understand that
electronic receipt of our newsletter
will not work for all of our
members. Some do not have
Internet access, and some may
have it, but seldom ever use it. If
electronic delivery will work for
you however, just send a short
note to [email protected]
and I’ll add you to the list.
Why Do We Support Gibault ?
The answer to this question is
easy!
We all know Hoosier Knights
founded Gibault in 1921. But did
you know Hoosier Knights
continue to govern Gibault?
Did you know of Gibault’s 20
member Board of Trustees 16
members are Knights of
Columbus?
Did you know of the 16 Knights on
our board we have 4 Past State
Deputies, our current State
Deputy, Supreme Director Charles
Maurer Jr. and our own Financial
Secretary John Abel?
Did you know according to the
Gibault By-Laws, Article XIX, in
the event Gibault ceases,
terminates or discontinues doing
business the assets of Gibault
become the property of the Indiana
Knights of Columbus?
So what does all of this mean?
This means Hoosier knights
conceived and gave life to Gibault.
This means Hoosier Knights
govern and direct Gibault. Gibault
is not just the number one charity
of the Indiana Knights of
Columbus….it is a part of the
Indiana Knights of Columbus.

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart
I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ my person
and my life, my actions, pains, and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make
use of any part of my being save to honor, love, and glorify the Sacred Heart.
This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of
Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.
We’re on the Web
http://www.kofc1166.com
I therefore take Thee, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian
of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy,
the atonement for all the faults of my life, and my sure refuge at the hour of death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God Thy Father, and turn away from
me the strokes of His righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in Thee for I
fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Thy
goodness and bounty.
