BENEFITS ADVISOR

I would like to extend to you and your family my sincere best wishes for a Blessed Merry Christmas and a Holy

Happy New Year.

The meaning of Christmas is always remembering that Christ was born on that day to bring forth his message

of peace and good will. The meaning of Christmas is sharing, caring and living in love all year through. It is

showing forgiveness and helping each other with kindness in all that we do. It is blessing the lives of the

strangers we meet as well as the ones we hold dear and close to our hearts.

These are the reasons the meaning of Christmas is meant for each day of the year.

Again, have a Blessed Merry Christmas and Holy Happy New Year.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Tim

KNIGHTS HEALTH CORNER

Topic for January 2017: New Year’s Resolutions to get fit or lose weight

Brothers All,

The following link https://www.myfitnesspal.com/ and the app for your phone is a free way to track your calories

intake.

I track my calories in order to keep my weight off or to remind myself of the huge calories in thanksgiving and

Christmas dinners. Not to mention the cookies and deserts, yum yum!

However, I find more restraint if I track my calories than when I am not tracking them. This is only one way to

lose or maintain my weight.

Page 6: KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL #4444 · Trustee 2-Year PGK Paul Spikes 850-420-1173 paulspikes@cox.net ... If you drink 1 eight ounce glass of water ... Optional 1 teaspoon of paprika

Small changes to your eating habits (diet) can have larger implications. I suggest that an increase in water

intake will help to maintain your weight and help your overall health. If you drink 1 eight ounce glass of water

before each meal the chances of overeating are reduced. This is a good practice for your joints will thank you

as well.

Add movement to your resolution. Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest

unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a

straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. This also applies to our bodies. If we become sedentary

our bodies try to stiffen up and quit moving. Get out and move it helps your overall health.

Exercising and eating better goes hand in hand. Eating better does not need to be flavorless.

Here is the recipe I use to make Mexican seasoning it is delicious for a heart healthy no salt flavoring. This I

use for tacos, soups, and to spice up salads. Enjoy!

Mexican seasoning (makes about ¼ cup)

2 tablespoons chili powder (add more for increased heat)

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon granulated or powdered garlic

1 teaspoon granulated or powdered onion

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional 1 teaspoon of paprika for a smoke flavor

Mix ingredients and cover for use anytime you want some Mexican flavoring.

As always please see your Doctor before starting any new exercise program.

Please let me know if you would like a specific topic of heath discussed for next month. I will do the research

and submit my finding to the next newsletter.

GRAND KNIGHTS CORNER

Thank you to all fellow Knights who have actively participated in our annual events throughout 2016 and a re-

minder to track your hours for the Annual Report of Fraternal Activity due to our financial secretary before the

end of January so that Brother Dick can compile a complete list of our total participation for the year and sub-

mit to Supreme prior to the end of January 2017.

I need five other Knights in tuxedos to assist with ushering duties for the Midnight Mass at Saint Mary Church

this coming Saturday, December 24, 2016, with a show time of not later than 11:00PM. We will perform the

usher/greeter duties normally performed by our other parishioners during weekly mass. If you can help, please

call me the Grand Knight at 850-225-6705 not later than Thursday, December 22 do that I can ensure our suc-

cessful support to the church.

Again, my thanks to all of you who have given your time and talent to support our various programs during

2016 and look forward to carry out our responsibilities into the new year. My wish to you for a very Merry

Christmas and a prosperous New Year ahead!

Steve Williams, Grand Knight, Council#4444

FINANCIAL SECRETARY / VOCATIONS DIRECTOR

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my Brothers and their families! Our new President will probably not be quoted as

saying, “We are no longer a Christian nation”. This bodes well for all the Knights and their mission.

ANNUAL SURVEY: You are a Knight. You are supposed to be making a difference in the fight against secu-

larism. This monthly issue contains the Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity Form. I ask every one of you to

please fill it out and get it to me during the course of this month. I must send it off to Supreme by January

31st. All church and charitable activities you have performed during the year should be summarized on this

sheet and then I will take it from there to add some dollar figures and total up all your hours, visits, and

blood drive contributions. If you have nothing to report, then SHAME ON YOU.

DUES: Dues notices are being sent out soon to ALL Knights. Included will be an incentive to receive free raffle

tickets to our 4th Wednesday in February SPAGHETTI DINNER drawing (22nd) by paying your dues IN ADVANCE or

for just being an Honorary Life Member. Details in next month’s bulletin AND in your coming dues notice.

CHRISTMAS PARTY: Were you there? We had 60 diners, including 4 priests, 2 deacons, and the rest of us who

topped off the party season in the true Christmas spirit. Unless you were out of town or with limited mobility or

disabled, you should have at least made the effort to come to this most wonderful gathering of the year of your

Brother Knights. “Well I don’t know very many of them” or “I am a new member” one might be

heard saying. And why is this that you never came? Because you don’t come to meetings or other gather-

ings? You know we now have only one meeting a month. Anyway, how about making a NEW YEAR’S RESOLU-

TION and step- up your membership activity a notch or two (even if it’s at ZERO now). Volunteer to work in our

next Tootsie Roll Drive. Take over the Pancake Breakfast Program. Help at BINGO this winter. Rent the

Hall. Redo our fading signage around the hall. Help bartend at big functions. Make some phone calls to our old-

er members and see how they are doing. Call the Church office and volunteer in the name of the Knights. Work

the Soup Kitchen on Fridays. Good grief! If you aren’t doing anything but being a couch potato and especially if

you are retired, how about taking that first step and calling our Grand Knight, Steve Williams and talking to

him? 850-225-6705. You’ll be glad you did!

TRUSTEE REPORT

No report - PGK Larry Bonck, PGK Tim Perks and PGK Jay Arnold

Sunday Rosary and Chili Cook Off. Sunday, January 29, the 5th Sunday Rosary will be held at the

council hall followed by a Chili Cook Off dinner. Everyone is invited to come pray the rosary and bring

your best chili to share. There will be a contest for the best chili. There two categories. The first category

is the best chili chosen by the council chili “Electoral College” committee. The second category is the

“best” chili chosen by “popular vote.” The popular vote contest cost 25 cent a ticket or 6 tickets for a

dollar. So, you can vote often for your “flavor-rite” chili. The prize for the winners is a $25 gift to the Crab

Shack Restaurant donated by Bro Emil Pagliari. If you are not a Chili chef, just come pray the rosary and

enjoy a chili dinner. We will have extra “house” chili so everyone gets to eat. There will be hot dogs avail-

able for non-chili lovers. Of course, there will be make your own root beer floats.

Christmas Raffle Thank You. Special thanks to everyone who supported the Christmas Raffle. Many

members mailed in your tickets. Approximately 40 individuals (not all KofC members) bought tickets

resulting in a profit for the council of $500. The winners were: $10 prize: Deacon Dan McAuliffe; $20

prize: PGK Ray Schlitt; $50 Gift Certificate to the Crab Shack Restaurant: Mike Brennan; and the Grand

Prize of 2 nights, 2 breakfasts, & dinner at Four Points by Sheraton: Chris Gent. Special thanks to PGK

Karl VanEtten for securing the grand prize at Four Points by Sheraton, and Bro. Emil Pagliari for the $50

gift certificate at Crab Shack Restaurant.

Looking forward to 2017, we will conduct a special 50/50 raffle along the same lines as the Christ-

mas raffle except the four prizes will be all cash prizes. Hopefully our snowbird visitors will participate.

The drawing will be Wednesday, Feb 22, at a spaghetti dinner at the council hall. If you purchase a mini-

mum of $20, you and your immediate family can eat FREE at the spaghetti dinner. Otherwise, it is $5 per

dinner. Remember we recently changed the council bylaws to have these types of events on the 4th

Wednesdays of the month. This is also the last Wednesday before lent begins.

There will also be an incentive to pay all your 2017 dues by the end of January 2017 to receive FREE

50/50 tickets. More information to follow in your due’s notices and next month’s bulletin.

work with the Chamber of Commerce), John

Lucenti, GK Steve Williams, PKG Gil Holliday,

PKG Chuck Schaefer and PKG Tony Holland.

Special thanks to their spouses, children and

family members. There was a great team effort by

everyone to get the sled out of the attic in the large

hall.

Hopefully I did not leave anyone out. Both events were a lot of fun.

FR. HOWARD J. LESCH ASSEMBLY 1564

On Sunday, January 22, 2017, the Assembly Color Corp. is requested for the Catholic Renewal Conference at

Holy Name of Jesus in Niceville. The Bishop will be in attendance and we are asked to arrive at 10:30 am.

At the last Council meeting on the 14th of December, the subject of my request for a space to store 100 wheel

chairs was discussed. As this was a request to the Assembly, the Council leadership agreed to lend any assis-

tance to the Assembly needed and concurred with me that we have the space and should volunteer our re-

sources to assist in the very important tasking from our State Director for VAVS and the Florida District Fourth

Degree. I sent a return email offering our assistance in storing the wheel chairs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, especially Council #44 and its leadership, for their as-

sistance this past year and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Dick Olson, Faithful Comptroller -

Sir Knights, our whole group of Christmas Partyers was dismayed to hear that neither of you and your ladies

could make it to last evening’s function. We announced the “reason” as we best we knew why and took time to

include you all in our prayers. No less than 4 priests and 2 deacons were present to lead us in prayer.

On the financial end, a firm commitment was made to the hotel to accommodate 59 paid-for diners. We had

55 attend. Four short of we had to pay for. I respectfully ask that you decline the Assembly’s reimbursement

of your $50.00 back to you to help us balance the budget. No reply is necessary unless you feel reimbursement

to you is warranted.

Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
