5 Dues are now past Way OverDue We realize these are tough economic times and some people may be having difficulties. We also realize some members may be unhappy with the Council or feel we are not meeting their needs. If this is the case we apologize. We ask you to let us know what we need to do to help. We are here to help in any way we can, even if it is only with our prayers. PRAYER IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL. Dues are important because the Council pays close to $10 per member to Supreme and State in per capita and other assessments. The Council pays these assessments from the dues collected; the remaining portion goes for operating expenses, like the printing and mailing of this letter, and many programs. Please, we ask you to pay your dues. It is with the help of your dues that we are able to do many of the things we do. Please, prayerfully consider your membership in the Knights of Columbus. You can make a difference. Please call Grand Knight Dennis Jensen at or Financial Secretary Paul Warda at with any questions. WELCOME Please welcome into our council our newest Brother Knight s Rudy Bianchi who took his major degree on January 31, 2016, Chris Leonard who transferred from St. Annes Council 2853 in Fairlawn, N.J., and Jason Sipple who transferred from Bradley University Council in Peoria, IL. All three are parishioners at Sacred Heart Church. Also please welcome Frank Birner and Ken Lebeau who took their first degree on March 31 and Bradley Schaub who transferred from Council in Lake LeeLanau, Mi. All three are parishioners at St. Pius X. Welcome to Father Boecker Council #6090. For the Good of the Order Please keep all Brother Knights, their families and friends in your prayers, especially for the following: the repose of the soul of Dick Watts wife Joyce, Dick Watts, Gerald and Mary Guertler, Ray and Dorothy Seranko, Frank and Geraldine Cvach, Ray and Dorothy Morello, D. Thurmans mother-in-law Sandy and her son Danny Powers, the repose of the souls of D. Thurmans cousin Eugene Field s and Jim Gilmore friend of Dennis Jensen, Jim Spalo friend of Dennis, Mark Yurich s friend David Alcorn, Chris Hanes sister-in-law Terese Williams and brother-in-law Joe Dougherty, friend of Tim Wheeler Sarah, all those unemployed or underemployed, and all of our service men and women.
