GRAND KNIGHT’S REPORT
February 2021
Invitation
Dear Brothers:
As you may know, Council 3478 has undergone some significant changes over the
last few months. Along with these changes come some important decisions that need
to be made. Given the current situation and not being able to engage in person, Council
has been meeting virtually since restrictions were suggested from Supreme several
months ago. If you have not been receiving invitations to Council meetings and wish to
attend, please contact our Worthy Field Agent Brother Andrew Godbout via email
at andrew.godbout@kofc.org. and request an invitation.
If you cannot or decide not to attend virtual meetings for any reason, I urge you to
keep up to date with Council business, activities and programs via our Monthly
Newsletter that is post mailed and emailed to all Members monthly or Council and
Executive Meeting Agendas and Council and Executive Meeting Minutes which are
emailed to every Council member monthly. If, for any reason, none of these options
work for you, then by all means call a fellow Brother Knight and get yourself updated.
This information is put out there for the governing of your Council through
membership participation.
God Bless
Brother Gerry Cranley
Grand Knight. Council 3478
GRAND KNIGHT’S REPORT
Dear Brothers and Families of Council 3478:
I hope that you are all staying healthy, safe and Covid free.
Council 3478 is managing to keep active while operating within mandated regulations.
Our Charity Appeal effort will be wrapping up the evening of January 30th. As of January
15th, 3478 is holding second place in ticket sales by a very slim margin. If you, your
family members and friends have not purchased tickets yet you have until 5:30pm on
January 30th to do so.
Just a friendly reminder it’s that time of year again. Brother Dave Johnson has sent out
notices for Membership Dues.
If you have a friend or family member who is contemplating joining the Knights of
Columbus, now would be a good time to take advantage of free Memberships for one
year. Check out kofc.org for details or you can also contact our Field Agent Brother
Andrew Godbout @ andrew.godbout@kofc.org for information on special Membership
offers.
I would like to again mention to all of you that Council is in need of a few good leaders to
fill some vacant Executive positions. We require a Life Director and a Health Director.
Please consider offering your talents to these positions.
Council 3478 will be holding our 2nd annual Consecration to the Holy Family Mass on
Family Day, Monday February 15th at St Marys Church. Please watch for details. A few
volunteers will also be required. Please contact me
@ gcrankey@gmail.com or 604-819-4932 if you would like to volunteer.
Stay safe and healthy. Hope to see you all at Mass very soon. GK Gerry Cranley
God Bless
