Summer is half way over, which means the fall isn't too far away and as everyone knows, that means the Gladfest Parade.  Mark your calendars for Saturday October 4th for the 2014 Gladfest Parade. Each year we hope to increase the size of our entry in order to demonstrate to the Northland; our commitment to our Church, Council, Community and to show off our Knights of Columbus Spirit. Saturday October 4th in the morning (more specifics will be available as we get closer to parade day), we can use you.  We are in need of walkers, riders as well as Honor Guard.  As we have in the past several parades, we will have wagon with us if you would prefer to ride along.  Hone up your throwing skills as you toss the Tootsie Rolls into the crowd. Invite your family members to walk with us.  Please mark the date on your calendar.

Think You Are Too Old for Coverage? Maybe Not

You are never too young or too old to consider purchasing life insurance. If you have a financial need for coverage, or will in the future, a permanent life insurance policy can be just the thing you need.

When you are young and presumably healthy, coverage will be very inexpensive when compared to purchasing the same policies when you are older.

If you've put off purchasing coverage, or you realize that you may need additional insurance, the Order may still be able to help you, even if other companies cannot. In fact, in 2012, the issue age of our permanent life insurance products was extended to age 80. Naturally, your health, and whether or not you smoke, will be taken into consideration, so underwriting standards for risk and age apply. But, the extension is a great blessing for me - and it could be for you too. Now I can help members that I couldn't help before. Are you or one of your brother knights one of those members?

Whether you're 18 or 80, the Knights of Columbus has products that will work for you and your family. I look forward to discussing coverage with you.
