Presenting the future – GET IN ON IT!
On Monday, June 15, 2009 at its Annual Meeting, The Columbian Club made a formal presentation concerning the demolition and re-construction of our council home. By way of a unanimous vote, the membership has approved the demolition of our existing building. If you couldn't make the meeting we have provided a link to the New Building Presentation for your review. We need all hands on deck to make this project a success and carve a bright new path for the future of our Council.

Many people put a great deal of effort into the preparation of this report to the membership. Please extend them the courtesy of your time to review it carefully. While you are doing this, think of ways you may be able to contribute to this effort. We are open to all of your questions and constructive thoughts in this matter. Your participation in this project is vital to our success.

Any person listed on the project team can answer your questions. If you are not sure who to ask, please send me an email at info@kofc5903.org. I will get the answer to your question and respond promptly.

Fraternally Yours,
Matthew Nicosia, PGK

Welcome prospective Members!
We invite you to browse our web site and links to learn what over 1.75 million Catholic men and their families already know about the Benefits of Membership in the Knights of Columbus. Please send your name, address and phone number to info@kofc5903.org. A representative from our Council will call and invite you to an Open House meeting where we will answer any specific questions you may have and process your Membership application.

In keeping with a longstanding commitment to build stronger marriages and families, the Knights of Columbus launched a new initiative called Fathers for Good. The centerpiece of the initiative is an interactive Web site, www.fathersforgood.org. The web site offers men resources on how to build a strong, loving and confident identity in a culture that often does not value fatherhood or masculine virtues. The Web site also offers sections on male spirituality and building a better relationship with God.
