Welcome to Council Activities.

Welcome to Jefferson City and the Summer District Deputy meeting. Council Activities have a lot to offer each Council across the State. Some of the activities of the Knights of Columbus sound demanding and certainly many are, but that does not mean that others can’t be just for fun. Our Brother Knights are interested in the same  athletics, cultural and social events. These interests are unlimited, athletic events, fraternal recognition, Ladies Auxiliaries, Public Relations, Clown Clubs, The MARINER, our own state web-site and the Father McGivney
Guild just to name a few.

Our mission is quite simple. We will create awareness of the various Council activities available for council participation throughout the state both at the State and Council levels.

You can contact any of my chairman/woman or myself and we will be glad to assist you with everything Council Activities has to offer.

Jerry and Chris Herbert are the Ladies Auxiliaries Chairpersons. The Chair-couple are to provide State Council oversight on Ladies Auxiliary Area Meetings, Auxiliary State meeting, aid in developing new Auxiliaries and provide assistance to local Auxiliaries. When a new Council or Assembly is formed this is a great opportunity to also form an Auxiliary.

I am looking forward to a very successful and fun filled year.

Don't forget, your local Council information is vital to the operations of the State Council.  Please click here to update your G.K. and F.S. contact information, as well as your Council meeting day and time.

1. Publicize all Council events as well as activities in the Church and Community.
2. Oversee all information and publishing’s in the Council newsletter.
3. Gather news articles, photos, announcements and awards for the Council.

Here are the publications from Supreme to assist you with Public Relations:

• March, 2013

NEWSLETTERS

Send copies of your newsletter to your Parish Priest, Parish Council President, State Deputy, State Directors, State Chairmen. Also send a copy to the State Public Relations Chairman for an entry into the State Newsletter Contest, judging on these will also be held at the State Convention.


PUBLICITY

When your Council holds a function you should let the community know. This makes for good P.R. and assists in signing up new members. When people know what the Knights of Columbus is doing they will be more apt to support our efforts.
