From our New Financial Agent, PGK Andrew Godbout
As a member of the Knights of Columbus since 2011, I
enjoyed serving my home council (3478) as a
Recorder, Chancellor, Deputy Grand Knight and
eventually 3 years as Grand Knight. Since 2017 I have
serviced the Metro- Vancouver area as a Knights of
Columbus Field
I am at your service; please do not hesitate in giving me
a call or email if you have any questions or concerns at 604-819-7974 or
andrew.godbout@kofc.org.
Thank you and God bless”
Agent and I am excited to now be able to return to the Fraser Valley and serve as your
Field Agent, building relationships with people in the communities that I call home.
As a result of the current need for social distancing, my plan is to reach out to the
membership via email and meet by phone or over video/voice call to field any
questions the membership may have.
I'm sure hope everyone is holding up as we are hopefully heading down the
home stretch with vaccines rolling out. Hoping by summer
no masks "optimistic maybe".
Feb 2 Groundhog Day. Feels to me like an early Spring sunshine & all. So folks
can get out a little, like walks & gardening and yard work or not? Or just call a
brother Knight you haven't spoke to in a while??
Otherwise stay in touch, join a program when we can roll them out. Ask to join a Knights
virtual meeting. Stay informed. God bless

RSVP RECYCLABLE FUNDRAISER UPDATE DGK
Jean Godbout
Last year was our first year with our "Encorp Return it Accounts" at Sardis and
Chilliwack locations. This account is sponsoring Seminarians through the diocese from
our Council 3478. Get involved by calling 604-792 -1627. I can give more info or maybe
set you up for pick up of your returns. We could even arrange periodic pickups from a
building or institution. YOU can make a difference big or small, it all goes to Charity.
Council wishes to thank all the Knights and family members who with neighbours as
well, helped us build close to $800 in 2020. We believe in 2021 that we can surpass that
number as more Knights get involved. I understand we will use $500 of these funds from
year end as well as $500 from 3478's commitment which equals $1000 and it's only
January. Excellent work gentlemen. This will place us us halfway to a rebate from State
of $400.
