Falcon Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thank you Brother. I get tired of what people think about things. The Knights are something very important to all of us, Catholic or not. As stated we help ALL people regardless of religion, race, creed or color. Our most important organization we help is the Special Olympics. MY council assists a local Special Olympic team and buy them uniforms and sponser events for the players. I have never done somethjing for them and not had a tear in my eye from the joy it brings. I will never stop helping others. As for being the DGK, it is a cool time for us in our council and I look at this as a great time to help the GK. I am a person who gets involved and will step up to the challenge that is brought to our council/order. Vivat Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivat Jesus[/quote] In our state (Virginia) we have a program called KOVAR (Knights Of Virginia Assistanting the Retarded). Every year the local councils raise money for those who have mental retardation. We stand outside busy shopping centers and malls, similar to what the Salvation Army does around Christmas time, only we do it around the spring or summer. I've participated in this effort for two years so far, and all the money (100%) goes to the State Council, which is then distributed amongst the various organizations in the state that directly help the mentally retarded. If I'm correct, the KofC is the largest sponsor of the Special Olympics [b]in the country[/b]. To those who haven't gotten their 4th degree yet, don't let age be the factor. "I'm too young, once I retire then I'll become a 4th degree." Why wait? I'm [b]20 years old[/b], and I'm already a 4th degree "Sir Knight". I want to get involved with the Color Corps, but I'm holding off for now (going in the Army, so I want to wait till I size up). Vivat Jesus!

Last I talked to him, he wasn't sure when the next 1st degree ceremony will take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
