Council

Brothers All,

Greetings from the Crystal Coast! The month of October is here. Please submit the program that you would like for your entry for the Council activity. Any programs that were done between April 1st and September 30th are eligible. If you are a new Grand Knight, please consult with the past Grand Knight on any programs that may have been done during his time as Grand Knight that may be a program to submit for your Council entry. All submissions are due by October 31st. Please go to the State Website for more details.

The days are getting shorter and the weather will start to get cooler. This is usually the busiest time of the year for the councils. In October, you have Columbus Day celebrations, Octoberfest activities, yard sales, golf tournaments and outings. In keeping with the new parish initiative, please remember to extend an invitation to the entire parish to participate in any activity that you hold and that your activity has your priest’s or pastor’s blessing.

Grand Knights, before you know it, the holiday season will be upon us. Now is the time to start planning any activities that you may hold during this time. This would also be a perfect time for the councils to check in on the deceased Knights wives and invite them to your activities that you will hold over the holiday season.

District Deputies and RMPC’s, please continue to keep track on the progress on the Traveling Gavels that are going through your councils, districts and regions. Please remember to submit your monthly progress report to the Traveling Gavel chairman, Anthony Thompson.

If you have any Special Olympic events going on, please make the Special Olympics chairman, Michael Garguilo aware of that event.

If you wish to host a State Athletic event, please contact the Athletics Chairman, Craig Smith on how to get started.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or one of my chairmen if we can assist your regions, districts and councils in going and making a difference in this fraternal year in building your domestic church while strengthening our parishes. It is an honor to be serving you as your State Council Director for this state of North Carolina and for the Order.

Vivat Jesus,

Nick Nastasi

State Council Director
