Working closely with the State Red Cross organization, we believe we can accomplish this through minor changes in our parish level events and better leverage of Red Cross resources for scheduling and marketing. To that aim, all GK's are request to have their local Blood Drive coordinators (BDC) contact the new State level Red Cross Blood Drive coordinator Emile Anderson (email: andersoner@hotmail.com or 401-578-4914) and provide the following info... 1. District (number), Council (number), affiliated parish and DD, GK and BDC contact info 2. Is your council currently conducting Blood Drives and if so how may do you do a year (including average collection amounts/drive)? Page 4 of 10
3. Are you using/registered with RC on their website platform including using Red Cross email DB to market/advertise? If so, is the Red Cross email DB consistent to parish email DB? 4. What is working and what is not in your drives (KofC and Red Cross control operations - both) including how you are keeping the experience on running drives in your Council - mentor, rotations etc? What is Blood Drive Coordinator current time in the position? 5.

Aggie Jean and Fr. Richard Kelley from St. Christopher in Nashua and deacons. Held in the city of Philadelphia, the birth place of American Liberty at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight announced the theme of this 133rd Supreme Convention. "Endowed by their creator With Life and Liberty." Father Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus to financially protect Catholic families. This year for the 14th consecutive year, our program of "insurance by brother Knights for brother Knights" set a new record. We issued $8.24 billion in new insurance sales. This is a result of the hard work and integrity of our insurance agents. We are proud that the Knights of Columbus was again recognized by the Ethisphere Institute as a 2015 World's most Ethical Company. The knights of Columbus is one of only three recipients honored in the Life Insurance Category this year. For the 40th consecutive year the Knights of Columbus earned A. M. Best's highest rating of A++ (Superior). We also continue to place among America's largest companies ranking 939 on this year's Fortune 100 list. Our assets grew 4.5 percent last year to more than $21.5 billion. Our surplus ratio is 11.1 percent, which is consistent with the average for the top 25 life insurance companies. Our insurance in force reached $96.7 billion, an amount that has more than doubled in the last 12 years. Last year, our insurance in force grew by $4.1 billion. We issued 73,000 life certificates last year, surpassing our closest fraternal benefit society competitor by more than 30,000. Our success continues to outpace the industry, our insurance premiums increased 3.7 percent more than doubled the industry rate of 1.8 percent. Our annuity deposits were at $531.6 million. We paid more than $290.5 million in dividends to our life insurance contract holders. We have over 2 million certificates in force. Every day our professional agency force of more than 1,500 brother Knights helps Catholic families plan for their financial future. These brother Knights serve only Knights and their families, they share the commitment of every Knight to our Order's principles. I want to thank my brother Knights, delegates to our Annual State Convention voting for me to represent the New Hampshire State Council as the insurance delegate. Anna and I had a wonderful time. Thank you again. Edward F. Mele Jr., PSD Insurance Delegate edwardmele@myfairpoint.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Page 5 of 10

Ever wonder why you are alive at this time? He got tired of waiting and decided to see what we had to say. He is 20 years old and brought his 19 girlfriend for an abortion. They are both going to school and just aren't going to change their future plans. Adoption is not something they would consider. He said when he becomes an electrician "I'll have 20 kids". We explained that future children can never replace the life that is being ended today. While we were talking with him the abortion was already performed. Less than 30 minutes later we saw them drive away. The car had veteran plates and one of the men praying (a veteran) took notice of the middle-aged couple in the front seat. Later that afternoon, when the couple was returning to Planned Parenthood from the local store, they stopped and told their sad story. They were opposed to their daughter aborting their grandchild, but still drove her to PP. The young woman was enlisting in the military, and they were unable to get her to wait and have her baby. Please consider becoming a "sidewalk advocate". Training is available. Ever wonder why you are alive at this time? Maybe someone counseling abortion bound women is the reason.

Available at PennacookPregnancy.org Cathy Pray for Life Center The Adventure and Crisis of Marriage Gilbert Keith Chesterton wrote The whole pleasure of marriage is that it is a perpetual crisis. Nowadays, there is a new crisis in the crisis of marriage that is hardly a source of pleasure because it is an identity crisis. The challenge is to refrain from despairing over the institution of marriage by Page 9 of 10
remembering, with Chestertonian optimism, that marriage cannot be destroyed. Though marriage can be called gay, it cannot make marriage any less gay (in the true sense of the word). Marriage is perpetual, even if it is a perpetual crisis, and that is something to take pleasure in. What God has enjoined, no man can put asunder. And though days are dark, Catholics must arm themselves with that joy Chesterton called, the joy of giants, the joy without a cause.
