My Dad was a proud member of Father Saylor and supported the council and me, more than you know. He even made sure that we paid his dues for 2015. Tom Crete, a very close friend, Building Association VicePresident, and Manager of Martenson Funeral Home came in on his day off to handle the arrangements. Father Tom conducted the Mass when I asked and did a wonderful service in honor of my Father. These are a couple of extraordinary Brother Knights who I am proud to be surrounded by. The State Bowling Tournament is here and will remain for 7 weeks so the Council will be busy. We have events and specials every Saturday for the next two months. We expect many visiting Brother Knights and families from around the state to stop by the Members Lounge. I ask that we greet them with a big smile and make them feel at home. We know that we clean up after ourselves but our guests do not; so if you see garbage, glasses, debris outside please pick it up. I want to congratulate our Knight of the Year, Family of the Year, Angel, Behind the Scene, and our Shining Armor award winners. I will not give out the names till next month so as not to spoil the surprise since the party has not taken place as I’m typing this. Just take a look at all the articles and pick an event or two to help with or attend. I invite all Brother Knights to stop by the Officers reception on January 10th n the hall. Unfortunately, it is time to prep the snow blower and get the shovel ready. Stay safe, warm, and happy travels to our Snow Birds. Page 3 Chaplain’s Corner It’s hard to believe that we are at the beginning of a ‘new year’ and a new commitment to our Faith. And soon enough (twelve months from now) will bring this year to a close. How we face the year before us depends on how we have seen the year that has already gone by. What are your recollections of last year (2014)? What do you regret; and, more importantly, for what can you be thankful? My Faith in what lies ahead rests on my Faith in what has gone by. This is as important to my life as a “Fr. Saylor Knight” as it is to my spiritual existence. What we accomplish in this year ahead of us depends on that Faith. We have accomplished much in the past year. It is only in the light of that Faith which we hold to as followers of Jesus. Our Christian lives empower us to be who we claim to be as Knights of Columbus. There are many projects and activities that will come before us and demand our involvement. We will be involved to the extent we have that Faith that guides us as Catholics. One will only be involved to the extent that he is also practicing his Faith. One depends on the other. Our commitment to our Fr. Saylor Council and to the Knights of Columbus is most important. We have built upon the years behind us, one year moving up from the previous year. There will be many activities and demands upon our time and talent. This applies to every man who claims to be a member of our Fr. Saylor Council. I hope and pray for you, the men who call themselves ‘Knights of Columbus’, that you show your Faith as followers of Jesus and, likewise show your Faith in our Fr. Saylor Council by your active involvement in our meetings ,our programs, and projects. Fraternally, May God bless you and your families in this New Year with a renewed Faith and a new dedication to who we are. Scott (Scooter) Kolpasky-Grand Knight Chaplain, Fr. Tom T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) State Bowling Tournament Starts January 10th Thunderbowl Lanes Please Plan on Helping Out We need Scorekeepers, Raffle Sellers and Etc. KNIGHT NOTES January 2015 Father Saylor will be conducting 2 Church (Membership) drives this month. The first event is at Our Lady of the Angels Parish on January 10th and 11th 2015, after each of the masses. Saturday mass is at 4:00 pm and Sunday masses are 8:00 am, 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. The following weekend, January 17th and 18th we will be at Saint Frances Cabrini Parish. Saturday mass is at 5:00 pm and Sunday masses are 8:00 am, 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. Please stop by the Council table after mass and also encourage your family and friends to join this great Council. The membership drives are important to keep our Council moving forwards. We will have the new membership forms (form 100) with us after each mass and as always, in the Members Lounge. Father Saylor 3774 has many things to offer to our worthy families, so why not spread the word and bring in a candidate or two!!! Viva Jesus Membership Director Bill Gamble Mardi Gras / March Madness Party Page 4 Let Us Pray Please Pray for our sick Brother Knights and their families as they encounter health challenges in their lives.

Please keep the Kolpasky family in your Prayers. Please join me on Saturday If anyone else is in need of our prayers and wishes February 7, 2015 at 6:30pm as to be put on the PRAYER LIST please contact; I host the Grand Knight Mardi Chancellor C.T. Thomas at [email protected] Gras party. The Lower Lounge or call 313-928-1684. Hall will be transformed into a Mardi Gras Street party. For a $ 20.00 donation per person you will receive two March Madness raffle tickets to win cash prizes during the Final Four basketball tournament that are similar to our Football Mania tickets. These tickets are worth the $ 20.00 alone but wait, there’s more… By purchasing your tickets early which are available at the lounge or at the door you will receive a Cajun Food sampler plate…Wait there’s still more…Draft Beer, Wine, Pop, Door Prize ticket, Beads, Mask, and dancing music by D.J. Joey M. all night long. Wear a costume to enhance the party experience! You ask “All this for only $ 20.00?” well I have secured some wonderful sponsors and volunteers to offset the cost. I am still looking for prizes for the Chinese Raffle so if interested in donating a basket, gift card, sports item, etc. please contact Judi Moynihan at (313) 383-0074. I look forward to spending the evening with you and ask for your continued support as I finish my term as your Grand Knight. http://magickalgraphics.com/Graphics/SpecialOccasions/MardiGras/mardi12.gif 7:00 PM January 2015 KNIGHT NOTES Page 5 DID YOU KNOW? Just by attending our monthly meetings you have the potential to win not one but two cash prizes? That’s right – two chances to win some extra spending money and who couldn’t use that right after the holidays. And when Jerry Teed missed out on our $259 door prize last month that means our January door prize will be even bigger! Our attendance drawing pot will also grow by another five bucks in January because Iannucci Giuseppe was not there to claim his prize of $460. The next winner could be you! All you have to do is be there when your name is drawn. So come on out to enjoy the fellowship of your brother Knights and share your thoughts about the many programs we have planned in the new year. After the meeting while you enjoy the free snacks and refreshments, you could play some cards, or watch a bit of the game on the big screen, or just join in some lively conversations. And you may just go home that evening with some extra cash in your pocket. “Through my Eyes” I saw…big boxes filled with sweatshirts carted off to help keep children warm this winter sponsored by our own Michigan Knights of Columbus Holy Cross program. I saw…over 100 of our little family members come together to enjoy a fantastic afternoon. They got entertained by a wonderful magician got their faces painted, enjoyed some cookies and juice boxes, received a special gift from the Council and then brought the house down when the big guy himself showed up - none other than Santa Claus! What a great day of fun for everyone. I saw…the Executive Board and Building Association board members come together for the annual joint officers meeting where very little business was discussed but everyone enjoyed a great meal, drinks and fellowship as they wrapped up outstanding 2014 and began to anticipate a fantastic 2015. I saw…a Saturday evening with two great events. It began with our own Mass presided by our very special Chaplain, Father Puzio. And it ended with over 150 family and friends at our annual Christmas party and the announcement of our Family and Knight of the Year winners. What a great evening for everyone. I saw…our friends, family and brother Knights stopping by the lounge on Christmas Eve to enjoy some free refreshments, deli delights, and fellowship as we wished everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! I saw…all those folks who like to party hearty ring in the New Year at our annual lounge New Year’s Eve bash! It was a fantastic party as the lounge rocked all evening long with everyone having a blast. It was another great month of events and projects that your Council conducts for the benefit of our Council members and the community. And there is so much more to come in the months ahead. So come on out and be sure to bring your family and friends. Happy New Year to you and yours, Bob Cooper - DGK Holy Cross Children’s Services Giving Calendars 2015 Thinking of something to buy the person that has everything for Christmas or are you just looking for a great gift idea for their birthday? Why not buy them a Holy Cross Children’s Services Calendar. These calendars are only $25.00, with 378 chances to win! There are: 365 - $50.00 prizes, 12 - $500.00 prizes and the Grand Prize of $5,000.00. What a great way to help the Knights of Columbus’ number ONE Charity in the State of Michigan! It’s so easy just purchase one of these calendars. With your purchase, you are helping Brother Francis Boylan and his staff, affect a positive change in the lives of so many young men and women not only now, but well into their future. If you would like to purchase a calendar or two for yourself or for those “hard-to-buy-for” people in your life, come down to the Members’ Lounge and see any of our friendly bartenders. They will be more than happy to help you. If you have any questions regarding these calendars, please contact the Grand Knight Scott Kolpasky or Mark Gaworecki (734-320-6083). SUPER BOWL XLlX PARTY - FEBRUARY 1st LOUNGE KNIGHT NOTES January 2015 Kelly’s Corner Page 6 The Hearts of Giving Happy New Year! We will be open to enjoy all of the football games so come on in and please consider bringing a dish to pass! Starting with the weekend of January 10��, we will host the "State Bowling Tournament". There will be lots of specials and different events occurring so read the flyers around the Lounge. If you would like to help in any way, I know we could use your assistance, just ask! Well, we learned a lesson last year with the cold and snowy weather, so we are going to do something different this month and in the month of February. Instead of our usual Steak Dinner, we will offer a Family Dinner inside the lounge prepared by Tony Lalli and crew on the last Wednesday of the month. I hope you can make it! Please be sure to tell all of your family and friends! Of course we will have the Acoustic Knights on the first and third Fridays of the month so come and enjoy a night out! Don't forget Super Bowl Sunday which is on February 1st, enjoy the big day with us and as always feel free to bring a dish to pass. I'm sure we will be running some sort of special! May we all have a great year! The Downriver Crisis Pregnancy Center is looking for help. They are always in the need of baby items: baby formula, baby food, baby wash clothes, baby furniture and most of all baby diapers. Father Saylor Council will be collecting these items for the center. You all have heard of the giving tree for Christmas, where you take an ornament from the tree and purchase the item. Well, our council will have a heart in the lounge and on this heart will be little hearts with the items needed at the center. All you have to do is choose a heart, purchase that item and return it to the council by February 14, 2015. We will deliver the items collected on. February 16, 2015 Until next month, Jim Father Saylor 3774 FIRST STEAK COOKOUT OF THE YEAR January 28, 2015 (Except this time we do it Italian style) Last year it was so cold at the end of January that we had to cancel our steak cookout. This year we are taking no chances and moving the cooking inside. Instead of steak, we are unleashing our deadliest cook – Chef Tony Lalli – to do his best. It will be an Italian-themed dinner but not the same old, same old pasta in red sauce that you are used to. This will be a Cacciatora! It is a chicken fricassee that would make Marcella Hazan, the dean of Italian cook ing, blush. So you don’t associate chicken with Italian, well then come out at the last Wednesday in January and experience something totally different. You will be pleasantly surprised! It is multo bene!!! Chicken Cacciatora with pasta and sauce, the best salad in Downriver with an Italian slant this time, and warm Liberati’s garlic bread. $12.00 - 5:00 pm — 8:00 pm January 2015 KNIGHT NOTES Page 7 Social Night To all of You Have a For the January Social night we are having a special guest from the Allen Park Fire Dept.. The Fire Marshal will help explain to us how to live in safer environment by informing us on the ways we can make our homes and work places a lot less hazardous. Giving us some great ideas on who to call in case of an emergency, how to protect ourselves and our loved ones. We are looking forword to having the Fire Marshal as our speaker on January 21st in the lounge at 7:00pm. January 2015 S 4 M 5 Mass for Fr.

Super Bowl XLIX is not far off and the Father Saylor Council will be celebrating this final game with happy hour pricing during the game. We will be asking for people to bring a dish to pass like last year. We will have a sign-up sheet in the lounge a few weeks before the big game. Crazy commercials and hopefully a close and exciting game will be on display along with some 50/50 raffles for everyone’s enjoyment. Hope to see all of you on Super Bowl Sunday and as always keep checking your monthly Knight Notes for up-coming events. Sincerely, Joe Martinez (Warden/Activity Director) LTC Is an Important Piece of the Puzzle There are many financial consultants and retirement authorities who emphasize the need for a long-term care (LTC) product for estate preservation and family protection. While many commercial life insurance companies have gotten out of the long-term care business, the Knights of Columbus considers LTC a very important piece of the family protection puzzle. The Order has been actively offering our members this product for nearly 15 years without a premium increase on current policyholders. Members who wisely purchased an LTC plan from the Knights in 2000 are still paying the same premiums today. Even better, our LTC coverage is backed by the full strength of the Order, which remains rooted in our strong Catholic values. Talk about stability when it counts. If we have not spoken about your need for LTC coverage in your family portfolio, please take some time out of your schedule to meet with me. Remember, long-term care policies are underwritten based on your health, and you most likely will never be any healthier than you are today. Tom Jackson 734-778-9601 [email protected] SPECIAL LOUNGE EVENTS Just a reminder to everyone that January starts the State Bowling Tournament and also a variety of events in the Lounge. On January 17��, I will be the D. J. in the Lounge for our guests, followed by Trivia Night on the January 24��.

February 14th is Valentines’ Day, there are plans to bring in some Karaoke (not yet determined, stay tuned for more info). We have already confirmed Karaoke for February 21st. Please be sure to welcome our guests during this time period and show them why we have such a wonderful Council. I hope you enjoyed the Holidays! Have a safe and Happy New Year. Sincerely, Joe Martinez (Warden/Activity Director) NEW LOUNGE HOURS MONDAY - THURSDAY 3 PM -MIDNIGHT FRIDAY - 3 PM - 2 AM SATURDAY - 12 PM- 2 AM SUNDAY -12 PM to 12 AM Family Dinner January 28, 2015 * Chicken Cacciatora * Lounge KNIGHT NOTES January 2015 Page 9 Knight of the Month December Sal DeMilio For his help with our Comedy Night and making our Veteran’s Night program extra special, arranging a mini comedy show for vets, family and friends. Family of the Month November C.T. and Elizabeth Thomas For all they do for our Council ministering to those in need, so supportive of our Boysville Calendar sales and being there for all our brother Knights! MANRESA RETREAT Our annual Manresa Men’s Retreat is coming up the weekend of May 1st-3rd, 2015. Manresa is located at 1390 Quarton Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48304-3554. If you are thinking about attending, please call: Art Orlowski: 313388-9489 or Chris Carmody: 734-7513408. For more info, please visit: www.manresa-sj.org. I know many of our brother knights have wondered what a Manresa retreat is all about. Please let this be the year where you come along to find out why some of our brother knights have attended over 50 retreats. EUCHRE EVERY TUESDAY COUNCIL LOUNGE 7pm Knight Notes Expense It is so important to our Council to provide all of the information about what is happening at Father Saylor Council and the important work we are doing for the church, community, and our members. That being said, we are always exploring ways to reduce cost to the membership. We currently spend approximately $600.00 per month ($7,500.00 per year) to publish and mail the Knight Notes. To the many members who have signed up for the email on-line version of the Knight Notes, thank you! You are helping us in our cost reduction efforts. To those of you who have access to computers, we ask you to please sign up for the on-line edition. The on-line version is exactly the same as the one being mailed except it is in color. You really get a much sharper newsletter and you can print any or all of the pages as you wish from your own computer. As we look for suggestions to help further reduce our cost an idea submitted is to print and mail a one page calendar of events to keep you appraised of what is happening in our Council and publish the full version of the Knight Notes on-line only. This would be a savings of approximately 9,350 pages of printed paper each month which equates to 112,200 printed pages per year, not to mention the reduction in our mailing expense. As you read this, please consider signing up for the on-line version as well as suggesting other ways to help our Council reduce the cost of operations.
