Some decorations will be provided. Ladies will NOT need to bring anything, as all supplies will be provided.

To: All State Officers, Past State Deputies, District Deputies, Grand Knights and Faithful Navigators Subject: State Ball Ad
Book
My Worthy Brothers,
It is once again time to place your ads for the Annual State Ball Ad Book.
The three sizes of ads are Full Page for $60.00, Half Page ad for $30.00, or you can place a 2 line patron ad for $10.00 per
person.
All Proceeds from the ads go towards the New Hampshire State Council Bishop Brady Scholarship Fund.
Without your continued support of both the State Ball and the Ad Book this very worthwhile program could not
continue and be as successful as it has been in the past.
As in the past you can email your ad to [email protected] and send your check to the address on the letterhead.
Deadline for placing an ad is September 30, 2017.
This is the first book of the year and all of the changes from the spring elections have to be made so I must stick to the
deadline. Please act upon this at your next meeting.
Thank you in advance for your support of this very worthwhile program.
Vivat Jesus,
William D. McCarthy, PSD

Dear Grand Knight,
New Hampshire Right To Life (NHRTL) thanks you for your faithful support of our annual benefit banquet.
Your generosity has enabled NHRTL to persist as a strong and fearless voice for LIFE in our state!
Once again, we’re asking you to partner with us in our fundraising event on Oct. 12th.
We think you will be captivated by our speaker, Janet Morana, Executive Director of “Priests for Life” and Co-Founder
of “Silent No More” Awareness Campaign.
Janet has a wealth of experience building the culture of life. She has conducted pro-life training seminars, nationally and
internationally, for both clergy and laity helped co-ordinate relationships between pro-life organizations and the Vatican
as well as the White House.
Currently she co-hosts “The Catholic View for Women” on EWTN and is featured on the “Defending Life” series. She
can also be heard weekly on EWTN Global Catholic Radio.
Such contagious zeal and zest! Janet’s sure to get us moving, marching, and praying harder for LIFE
You can help make this happen by sending us your best contribution ever.
Your donation will help defray the cost of our speaker’s travel, lodging and honorarium.
More importantly, it will sponsor students who could not otherwise afford to attend. This is crucial because we
must motivate and activate young people to carry the torch for LIFE.
Since this is our only fundraising event, let’s rally to make it a big success!
Reservations are $65 per person or $650 for a table of 10 seats.
Be certain to make your reservations early. LAST YEAR, WE SOLD OUT!
We hope we can count on your vital support!
NHRTL’s mission depends on your Generosity!
Sincerely,
Betty Breuder
Banquet Chair
