Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Holladay, 1375 Spring Ln, Holladay, UT 84117, USA
Location: Holy Family Hall at Saint Vincent de Paul Parish in Holladay. ~~ RSVP to your District Deputy by October 19th. ~~ https://utahknights.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-SEP-State-Update.pdf ~ Brothers, Are you a Council leader? Did you ever think of volunteering for a role of a Chairman or Officer? Do you understand the Council Officer roles and responsibilities?  Each year your council elects and appoints new men to take on leadership roles within your council. Sometimes these roles are well-defined while other times the role may be expanded based on that individuals’ talents or interests. I am coming to Utah on October 26, at Holy Family Hall, St Vincent de Paul Parish in Holladay from 1130 to 1500, to offer an approach that may be helpful for councils in appointing officers or for looking to expand the responsibilities of their existing officers. You need to make your job easier as a leader, by spreading out the work, defining roles and responsibilities, searching for skills and abilities of your membership, and have a leader succession plan for the future of your Council. This is open to every Knight, but we especially want State Officers, District Deputies, Grand Knights, Deputy Grand Knights, Financial Secretaries, and Chancellor to attend. We want to change ‘THE WAY WE HAVEALWAYS DONE IT” by exploring Member Management, navigation of the Supreme website, and resources available to you at the District and State level. Luncheon will be served at 11:30 so we can start once everyone is served. Venmo and cash donations will be accepted for the lunch.  Please plan on attending this session. It is important for us to ensure success of the Knights this year and in the future. Please let your District Deputy know how many are attending from your Council by October 19 so we can prepare materials and lunch. Chuck Davlin Regional Growth Director – West Chuck.Davlin@kofc.org 203-500-1302 I can’t keep waiting for “normal” to return, this may be normal now. I can’t keep waiting for someone else to do it, there may not be anyone else. I can’t keep waiting for tomorrow, tomorrow may not be mine.   ~~~~~~~~~~ 2024.08.26. Art Grant says no Benvegnu (Engaged encounter all weekend), but Holy Family Hall noon -6pm. ~~~ On Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 11:27:54 AM MDT, Davlin, Chuck wrote: What is the possibility of getting the Council Officers, especially the Grand Knights and Deputy Grand Knights with the Financial Secretaries together for a Council Officer training to include use of Member Management and navigation of the Supreme Website? So many of Utah’s Councils seem to be spending a LOT of time filling out Reports and Forms manually instead of using the resources available to make their jobs easier and their reporting MUCH more efficient. This appears to be from predominately new Grand Knights so let’s change the way we have always done it with a new generation of Council Officers. For a longer-term date, I am down to October 26th. Please give me your thoughts as my weekends are filling up. Thank you Sir, EARLY IS EASY Chuck Davlin Regional Growth Director – West Chuck.Davlin@kofc.org  203-500-1302

What are the Knights of Columbus?

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Please contact us for more information about becoming a Knight!
