COUNCIL REPORTS ARE DUE

Worthy Grand Knights 
 
Many Councils are now in the process of completing  their annual program reports. 
 
Attached are four guideline sheets to aid you in determining which programs  fit in each of the four categories 
If you have a council program not assigned to a category please submit it under a category which best suites.  
 
Faith
Family
Community
Life (Culture of Life)
 
From last year you can see that Council and Youth programs have been molded into the other four programs.
 
That means you have fewer reports to complete and the content should reflect the programs that you do complete. 
Due to timing and judging of awards  I have had to move the date forward by a few days for receipt to March 27th. That gives you over 5 weeks to complete your reports. 
 
 
Any questions please call. me at 709-834-4950
