Mocksville Council Distribution List In an effort to more effectively communicate with our Mocksville KofC Council Members, we have established an email distribution list. Having and using such a distribution list has many advantages: 1. Security. All email addresses are stored on our hosting server in a secure file format and not posted in any way. 2. Privacy. Messages sent out to the distribution list go to our server and then forwarded to individual's emails who have opted in to this service. Your personal / business email address will never be visible to others. 3. Convenience for Officers. The officers (or anyone needing to correspond with all members) only need to send one message to one email address. Also, not one person need keep track of everyone's (current) address. 4. Convenience to Members. The Mocksville KofC page on our website has on it a form (below) whereby members can opt-in to this distribution service or opt-out at any time. If you change your email address you can simply opt-out the old one and opt-in the new. To be added to this list and receive important updates from the Council, simply add your email address in the boxes below and click "Send". You will automatically receive a confirmation email to which you need to respond for address verification. If your email address has changed or you would like to be removed, click on the "Please remove me" button and enter your email address. Should you have any questions, please direct them to: Thank you! |

Don’t wait, act today When you’re family is hungry, you see that this need is taken care of quickly. You don’t put it off until tomorrow, you act immediately to the best of your ability. As a provider to your wife and children, your responsibilities are great and your time is spread thin. It is easy to forget important tasks or let them slip to the backburner for later. Everything, including your health, can change in the blink of an eye. Don’t put off today what can’t wait until tomorrow. As your professional Knights of Columbus agent, I urge you to make securing life insurance for you and your family a top priority. It is my fraternal obligation to make sure that every member has the opportunity to protect his family with the Order’s top-rated insurance products. I’ll work with you to put a plan in place that will help your family when that help is what they needed the most. Your Knights of Columbus insurance program is second to none. As the premier safety net for Catholic families for more than 126 years, our insurance program makes me proud. But I’m also concerned that too many of our brother Knights have not yet looked into the needs of their family. I suspect that, for many of them, life insurance has drifted to the backburner until tomorrow. Don’t be one of them; move your insurance needs to the forefront today. I’m at 336-689-3225 or steven.wolff@kofc.org. Please call me and let’s talk. Steven Wolff, Field Agent |

The official Publication of St. Francis of Assisi Council - No. 12610 Knights of Columbus NEWSLETTER December 2009Grand Knight Message: Greetings Brothers. We had a very busy September and October serving our Church, Community, and Council, and I thank everyone for their dedicated contributions; see details on those events later on in this Newsletter. As we head into Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season, let us remember to be thankful for all of the blessings in our lives, including our families, our health, and fruitful employment. There are many families this year who are not as fortunate due to job loss, homelessness, and possibly suffering from medical ailments. Let us keep these families in our prayers, and keep our eyes, minds, and hearts open for opportunities to provide assistance to them, to help them meet their needs during the upcoming Season of Joy. Let us also remember our service men and women stationed around the world, protecting our freedoms and our way of life. I ask all of our brothers to keep these servicemen and women, and their families, in our prayers, and don’t ever hesitate to thank them for their dedicated service to our country. Council Director: The Council’s Attendance Award for November was won by Richard Jarvis, who in turn, donated the money to the Council.

We see these pushes often in March, in celebration of Founder’s Day, and again in October. These drives are successful because brother Knights are more visible than normal, during and after Masses and at special events. We remember to ask each and every Catholic gentleman to join our ranks for the good of the Church, community and Order. At the beginning of the fraternal year, we set our eyes on the goal of achieving the Star Council Award. This means running many successful and varied programs throughout the year and using this activity to spread the word about the Order. This will bring in new members. Don’t forget the strength of our life insurance, long-term care and annuities products is also a selling point of membership. For more than 125 years, our insurance has been “making a difference for life.” Our ratings are among the best in the business. For the 16th consecutive year, the Knights of Columbus insurance program has earned Standard & Poor’s highest rating, and for the 33rd consecutive year, A.M. Best Company has given us its highest financial strength rating. I can help not only in explaining to prospects our outstanding insurance products, but also on the many other benefits of becoming a knight. I am happy to be an advocate for the Order and for our council. Even better, I can help you feel more comfortable in making the membership “sale” to prospects yourself. As your professional Knights of Columbus insurance agent, I look forward to helping us grow in fraternity. I’m at 336-689-3225. Call me – let’s talk. email: Steven J. Wolff
