Grand Knights Outlook
Brother Knights,
Another year is behind us. I hope each of you and your families had a Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy
New Year!
I would like to commend Scott Mackie and friends for a great Breakfast with St. Nick, to Mike Artzer and his crew
for selling of the Monastery candy and finally to Jim Kirspel and friends for organizing the Christmas Eve parking.
All three events were very successful! Thank you to all.
I would like to start this year of 2016 with a “Recipe For A Happy New Year.” I received this recipe a number of
years ago from a good friend, Bob Grossberg. Bob is now retired; in his business career Bob was in the executive
search business.
I think this article/poem is a good starting point for the New Year. I hope you agree.
Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or
thirty-one different parts,
but don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience, one part of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.

Mensaje del Gran Caballero
Hermanos Caballeros,
Otro año que queda atrás. Confío en que cada uno de ustedes con sus familias tuvieron una Feliz y Santa Navidad y un
Feliz Nuevo Año!!
Quiero agradecer a Scott Mackie y sus amigos por el gran desayuno con San Nicholas, a Mike Artzer y su grupo por la
venta de los dulces del Monasterio y finalmente a Jim Kirspel y sus amigos por la organización del parqueo la víspera
de Navidad. Los tres eventos fueron muy exitosos! Gracias a todos.
También quiero empezar este año 2016 con una “ Receta Para Un Feliz Año Nuevo “. Recibí esta receta algunos años
atrás de mi buén amigo Bob Grossberg. Bob ya está retirado, en su profesión de negocios Bob se dedicó a buscar
ejecutivos.
Creo que este artículo/poema es una buena manera de empezar el Nuevo Año. Confío ustedes estén de acuerdo.
Tome todos los doce meses.
Límpielos de todo lo desagradable,
odio y rencor y celos.
Déjelos tan frescos y limpios como sea posible.
Ahora, parta cada mes en veintiocho, treinta, o
treinta y una partes diferentes,
pero no los haga todos al mismo tiempo.
Prepare una cada dia con los siguientes ingredientes.
Mezcle cada dia una parte de fe,
una parte de paciencia, una parte de coraje,
y una parte de trabajo.
Añada a cada dia una parte de esperanza,
fidelidad, generosidad y amabilidad.
Mézclelos con una parte de oración, una parte de meditación,
y una buena obra.
Aliñe todo con un poco de buenas intenciones,
un poco de diversión, una pizca de juego,
y una taza de buén humor.
Ponga todo esto en una vasija de amor.
Cocínelo bién con un gozo radiante,
decórelo con una sonrisa,
y sírvalo calládamente, sin egoismo,

Recruiting New Knights and Upcoming Exemplifications
Recruitment
I want to first thank all of you for assisting in our recruiting efforts for the first half of our Columbian
year. We have recruited 13 new Knights with our overall goal of 17. We still need to focus on: "One
Member, Per Month" for the rest of this Columbian year. I am still working on a few prospective candidates from 2015, however I need your help with recruiting new Knights every month. Our visibility
of wearing our Knight’s badges and shirts at mass and other Saint Brendan’s functions is very important. We need to walk the walk and talk the talk with every opportunity we have to gain additional
brother Knights. We need to also focus on retention and getting those Knights that have not attended meetings or functions to get involved with the Council.
Please welcome our new Knights who made their first degree on December 14th, 2015:

Reclutando Nuevos Caballeros y Próximas Iniciaciones
Quiero primero agradecer a todos ustedes por su ayuda reclutando durante la primera mitad del año
Colombino. Hemos reclutado 13 nuevos Caballeros hacia nuestra meta de 17. Necesitamos enfocarnos en : “ Un Miembro cada Mes” por lo que resta del año Colombino. Todavía estoy trabajando en algunos candidatos desde el 2015, pero necesito su ayuda reclutando nuevos miembros cada
mes. La visibilidad de nuestra identificación como Caballeros de Colón y las camisetas durante las
Misas es muy importante. Tenemos que demostrar lo que somos en cada oportunidad que tengamos de ganar un nuevo hermano Caballero de Colón. Necesitamos enfocarnos también en la retención y en animar a los Caballeros que no atienden a las reuniones o actividades para que se involucren más al Consejo.

Message from our Field Agent
Insurance Check-Up for 2015
I hope you and your family had a great finish to 2015.
Hopefully, you’ve established a few goals for this year. I’ve learned a great tip regarding resolutions. First,
write them down. It’s not too late if you haven’t already done this. Commit your goals to paper and post it
someplace you will see it often. Writing down a goal is the first step towards achieving it. It may not make
sense at first, but I’m sure you have heard stories of the success this simple task can bring. Whether your
goal is to exercise more, give more to charity, read more or watch less television, you’re more likely to accomplish it if you write it down.
Second, resolve to have an expert look at your finances. I recommend that you have a team of experts help
you, and I would love to be the first you sit with. Let’s schedule some time to meet together, and I, your professional Knights of Columbus insurance agent, will provide an “insurance check-up” (at no cost!) that will
evaluate any gaps in your family’s life insurance protection. Now might be the perfect time to fill those gaps,
not later. Keep in mind that unlike many other products, you don’t just need money to obtain life insurance;
you also need good health, and no one knows when your health could change.
Did I mention my check-up is free of charge? When was the last time you received something for free that
could provide value to you and your family for generations? Call me today.

Mensaje del Agente de Seguros
Espero que Usted y su familia hayan pasado un gran fin de año 2015.
Espero que haya establecido nuevas metas para este año. He aprendido mucho respecto a resoluciones. En
primer lugar, escríbalas. No es muy tarde si aún no lo ha hecho. Escriba sus metas y colóquelas en algún
lugar en el que pueda verlas a menudo. Escribir una meta es el primer paso para alcanzarla. Al principio
puede no tener sentido, pero estoy seguro de que ha escuchado historias del éxito que esta simple tarea
puede producir. Aunque su meta sea hacer más ejercicio, donar más a la caridad, leer más o mirar menos
televisión, es más probable que la alcance si la escribe.
En segundo lugar, hágase el propósito de que un experto analice sus finanzas. Le recomiendo que tenga un
equipo de expertos para ayudarle, y me encantaría ser el primero en analizarlas con Usted. Programemos un
momento para reunirnos y yo, su agente profesional de seguros Caballeros de Colón, le proporcionaré una
“revisión de sus seguros”, (¡sin costo!) que evaluará cualquier problema en la protección del seguro de vida
de su familia. Puede ser el momento perfecto para solucionar esos problemas, no después. Recuerde que a
diferencia de muchos otros productos, no sólo necesita dinero para obtener el seguro de vida, también necesita salud, y nadie sabe cuándo esto puede cambiar.
