I also had the pleasure of presenting the accompanying three Star Council Pins to Immediate Past Grand Knight Tom Pollutri, to then Program Director and now Grand Knight James Gestwicki, and to Membership Director Kevin Duffy.

Congratulations to these Council Leaders, and congratulations to all Brothers in our Saint John the Beloved Council 11796! Well done!

Monthly Brotherhood Well-being Phone Calls -Summer 2020

As you are aware, Brother John Ehlers and I have been calling the entire Council once per month to check on our Brother’s and their Family’s well-being during this pandemic, and to see if they are in need of any help. We did help two Knights this month, connecting them to services that they were seeking. Also, John and I are happy to report that we were able to directly speak with 42% of our membership. The others were left voice messages letting them know that we are here for them and, if needed, we will try to help as best we can. We also encouraged all to join our Zoom Council meetings, and our Zoom Rosary and Brother Chat sessions, which occur every Wednesday when we do not have a Council meeting.
Thank you and God Bless.
Joe Koskol, Trustee
