FAITHFUL NAVIGATOR REPORT – Robert Calabrese Brother Sir Knights: Where has all the time gone to? We are setting the slate of Assembly Officers for Columbian Year 2019 already. Preliminary planning for the 2019 Military Order of the Purple Heart Fund Raiser has begun! Our ranks are growing and
I would like to welcome our new members who transferred in during March! The Assembly will be holding our Spring Picnic on Saturday, May 5th between 4PM and 7PM. The Assembly website is up and running and very relevant to all of our events and plans. Assembly meetings are growing with 39 Sir Knights in attendance for the March Meeting! In the middle of all this success, let us take the time to remember the Holy Season of Lent. During this Holy Season, pray the Rosary, attend Mass, and always remember that Christ died for our redemption though Him! He is the way! God Bless! Bob Calabrese Faithful Navigator Columbian Year 2017-2018

INSURANCE REPORT
“Why should I become an Insurance Member?”
On occasion, a brother Knight will ask me this question. The obvious answer, of course, is because of your insurance need! Insurance need aside, what are some of the other advantages to being an insurance member? Let me name a couple: • Your financial participation helps fund the Order’s charitable activities. • You retain the right to purchase additional KofC products, regardless of membership status. • Your spouse has a “Spousal Right to Purchase” any KofC annuity or insurance product, for which she qualifies, for one year after your death. Our Order is among the highest rated life insurers in North America. AM Best has rated the Knights of Columbus with their highest rating for over 40 consecutive years. Our current rating of “A++, Superior” is a testament to our track record for excellence and security. Since the year 2000, insurance in force as grown from $40 billion to $110 billion and our assets have increased from $8.5 billion to $25 billion. During these years we have paid out more than $5.3 billion in dividends and more
than $4.3 billion in death benefits. That’s nearly $10 billion in dividends and benefits. Let’s talk soon about how “Insurance for Brother Knights by Brother Knights” can bring peace of mind to you and your family. Victor Silva, FIC, MDRT (386) 569-1918 (386) 693-4016 [email protected]
