"365 CLUB" in Nevada

Brother Knights the 365 Club was instituted in the 2000/2001 Columbian Year.  With your generous contributions we have been able to help many of our brother knights in their time of distress. If we all contribute just ONE PENNY A DAY, this fund will rise so that we can help many brother knights when their need arise.

If you are or know a brother in need whom the 365 Club might help, see your Grand Knight privately. Any brother receiving assistance from the 365 Club remains complete anonymous.

Remember, we never know when anyone of us may need assistance, so please be generous with your donations.

Fraternally,

Carl “Ted” Aceto P.S.D.
365 Club Chairman

Training Success as a Grand Knight
The grand knight is the highest ranking elected officer of his council. When he is successful in completing the duties of this office, his council will move forward and thrive. To assist grand knights in implementing their duties and adding an important page to the history of our Order, the Supreme Council is proud to make available this comprehensive 
training module. It was created to provide uniformity to the training message that our council leaders receive. Grand knights can view this training production at their own pace and utilize the information in it to guide them in their duties as council leaders.


District Deputy’s Success Starts With Training
For anyone to be successful at a job, he needs to be properly trained in all facets of his position. The Supreme Council is proud to announce a comprehensive
training module for district deputies. It was created to provide uniformity to the training message that our district leaders receive. A DVD of the training module was recently mailed to every district deputy and is now available for district deputies to train and review at their own pace.

2007 Mentally Challenged Drive Program


The 2007 Drive to support the Mentally Challenged – Reporting Phase 

As we near the end of the 2007 drive to support the mentally challenged, please review the reporting requirements.

The forms you need are the Council reporting form and the Council charity form. (see below)

As you fill in the information, please be sure to check your calculations.

Be specific when you identify your charities.

Be sure to include a good address to which the State Council will return your charity checks.

Lastly, when you forward the proceeds of your drive, please be sure your checks are made out to "KofC Nevada State Council." Under no circumstances should your checks be made out to me.

Thank you for your close attention to these requirements.


Special Olympics. All Councils participating in the Tootsie Roll Drive contribute to Special Olympics in two ways: in money and in man-hours. Twenty percent of the funds we collect is held by the State Council and is presented as a consolidated gift to Nevada Special Olympics. On the man-hours side, Councils should keep track of and report 20% of the man-hours expended in the Tootsie Roll drive on their annual report #4584. These hours should appear in paragraph 1, under state games/events.  

Councils that directly support Special Olympics in other ways should continue to account for these money and man-hour contributions as they normally do.  

Thank you for your continuing and enthusiastic support of our statewide program.
