Grand Knight’s MessageDear Brother Knights, Thanks to all who attended our annual awards banquet on April 13th. We had a great meal served by Unhinged Pizza. Who knew we would be preparing for a snowstorm starting that night! Maybe there is something to that Friday the 13th stuff. Congratulations to our Knight of the Year Ron Penas and our Family of the Year Mike and Ann Boyer. Thanks for all you do for our council.Thanks to all members who participated in our annual Tootsie Roll Drive. We brought in $684.75 this year.At our May 15th meeting, we will have our final pop tab collection before I turn them in at the state convention. Also, our trustees have been busy putting a ballot together for our May meeting. If you would like to be an officer for the upcoming year, it is not too late.We will be leading the rosary before weekend masses during the month of May. Please contact Jon Jerabek or myself if you are able to help out. As we will be having mass in the church basement during this time, we will do the best we can given the environment.As I wind down my second term as Grand Knight, I would like to thank all the members who make our council a success. I also want to thank all of our members’ spouses and our other volunteers for all they do in helping and encouraging us Knights. The time has gone by fast, and at times seemed like things were missed. I thank all the people behind the scenes that make being Grand Knight a fun time. I strongly encourage every member to be a Grand Knight for a term or two. The friends you make along the way last a lifetime.Grand Knight Chad Bandas (320) 282-0488

The Value of Life Insurance for ChildrenAs a father, you worry about your children and do everything you can to protect them. You try to raise them right and make sure they are pre-pared to become adults. But have you ever thought about buying life insurance for your child? When you insure a child, you are protecting his or her future. Did you know that one out of every six adults get rated, postponed, or denied for insurance coverage? If you purchase a policy for your child from the Knights of Columbus with a guaranteed purchase option, it guarantees that more insurance can be purchased for that child at certain set dates, without proving insurability. Unfortunately, as fathers we don’t have a crystal ball, and we don’t know what the future may have in store for our children’s health. But did you know that right now you can purchase a child’s policy, in many cas-es, for less than $10 a month? I’ve heard it said that people don’t want to “profit” from the death of a child, so they won’t purchase coverage on their children. God forbid something tragic happens, those funds can come in handy at a time when finances will be the last thing on a parent’s mind. I have never heard a story about someone who regretted buying coverage on their child. Contact me today to discuss the many policy options for child plans, in-cluding 10- and 20-Pay life insurance.
