Next week, June 13th to be specific, is an important night for our Council, as this is the night that we elect officers to lead us in the coming 2011-2012 Fraternal Year that begins July 1st.

Leadership is an important thing. As Knights, we're all called to be leaders within our faith, our Council, and our world. We are to lead by example. What better time to start then now?

If you've never considered running for an officer position, please do so. It is a tremendously rewarding experience, and despite popular belief, need not be an all-consuming role. Talk to the current officers, read up on the officer descriptions on the KofC global homepage, and get involved. You'll be glad you did!

Kevin, DGK
