2016 Membership Dues

Dues for the 2017 Membership Year have been mailed

out and you all should have received them. As was last

year, the Dues statements have been Mailed in hard copy.

No Dues Invoices were sent via Email. The Officers

have agreed to maintain the dues at $35 for 2017.

However, the Officers have also agreed to add a $5 late

charge for dues not received after January 16th, 2017.

This added charge is intended to encourage prompt

payment and to reduce the need for redundant mailings

and follow-up contact when dues payment is delinquent.

Please continue to make your generous voluntary

contributions to the Boysville, Take 5 Program and the

Fr. McGivney Chair for Life Ethics. Our Council is

assessed a quota by our State Council to support these

programs. Donation shortfalls mean that monies from

our fundraisers must be reallocated to these State

sponsored programs. Thank you for your financial

support and all that you do for our Council.

Lou Fiorentino, Financial Secretary

ANNUITIES

The beauty of our annuity products lies squarely in their simplicity and security. They are simple

from the standpoint that they're fixed in nature. They provide long-term accumulation of wealth,

specifically designed for retirement needs. There are no hidden management fees or annual charges.

(Surrender charges may apply).

Secure because they are backed by the Knights of Columbus, an organization that earns the highest

ratings from independent rating services while maintaining high ethical standards. Our investment

philosophy is consistent with the nature of the funds entrusted to us. We invest in vehicles that

generate competitive rates for you, while assuring absolute safety of your retirement nest egg.

Whether you're looking to start a retirement savings program or moving substantial, more volatile

funds into 'safer waters', the Knights of Columbus offers programs that can help you achieve your

goals.
