Financial Secretary Report
 
Bills will be coming out soon for membership renewal.
Dues support our council and also are shared with State and Supreme.
 
There is an optional category on each bill -- RIB.
  This is for the Missouri state Religious Information Bureau. **We pay an RIB assessment whether you choose to donate or not. 
 
Many of our members are eligible for reduced dues because of their age and tenure.  I will include notices to all eligible members this year.

Exemptions from dues are also available to disabled members.  Contact me so that the paperwork can be submitted.

If your personal situation makes paying dues a problem, please contact me or your Grand Knight

Insurance Agent Report
 

Different life stages, changing needs

 

Paying for college for your children may be one of your family's current needs.  You may be concerned about a comfortable, worry-free retirement.  You may wonder if needing costly long-term care will deplete your hard-earned assets.  You want to have something to leave for your wife, children or grandchildren.

 

At some point you may have had all of these needs on your mind. Over time, these thoughts make way for others as your needs evolve, your finances change and you get older. What is important to you at age 20, may not be at 30, or 45, or 65. What is the best way to be prepared for these changes before they happen?

 

One of the easiest ways to be financially ready for changes that come with different life stages is to meet annually with your professional Knights of Columbus agent, and address the needs that his analysis uncovers. This can help you be ready to face the financial challenges and issues on the road ahead.

 

During that annual visit, I'll take the time to review your needs, goals and budget. I'll update all beneficiaries on your policies and be sure your coverage meets your needs. I'll recommend a program of life insurance, long-term care insurance and guaranteed income annuities that will help you rest easy at night.

 

Whatever your needs, whatever your concerns, whatever your stage in life, I can help.

  
I'm at 816-781-1670 or dan.bacon@kofc.org.  Call me - let's talk.

Hall Remodel- The remodel has not started yet due to an issue with our Contractor getting his permit with Kansas City. Kansas City show that we only had a 30 gallon hot water tank and said we need to have a 50 gallon tank. We are looking into the option of getting a tankless hot water heater that will provide us with the hot water we need and also reduces our utility expenses to keep the water in the tank hot 24-7. We are providing this information to you so that you are informed on the progress.
 
If you have questions regarding the remodel, feel free to contact me.
