KNIGHT OF THE MONTH It’s often said in organizations that rely on volunteers that 20%,

or somesuch number, of the members actually do the volunteering.

That’s also true at EDW. Within that percentage there’s a group of

guys and families that are machines. They can be counted on to

always be there to help serve our cause. One of these machines is

Chris Hudson. He’s only been a member for 3 years but it feels like

he’s been here forever. The man is at nearly every single event

helping out wherever he can. He doesn’t make a big deal of it, he

just nonchalantly arrives and sees where he can help out and rolls up

his sleeves. Chris also serves EDW as an officer and can be counted

on to be at our meetings offering his advice and viewpoint.

A donation will be made to Chris’s parish, Holy Transfigura-

tion Melkite Greek-Catholic, in honor of his service to the

Church and EDW.

Of Mice and Miracles Presents a Unique Look into the

Life of Dick Martin, Former Bishop O’Connell Principal

A fixture at Bishop O’Connell High School

for nearly 50 years, Richard J. “Dick” Martin

has influenced the lives of many students in

northern Virginia. As a wrestling coach,

teacher, athletic director, assistant principal

and principal, Martin played a significant role

in guiding Bishop O’Connell to excellence in

both education and athletics.

Martin’s experiences and accomplishments

as an educator are detailed in the biography, Of

Mice and Miracles: An American Educator’s

Story. Written by local attorney Frederick J.

Day and published by 2DonnBooks of Reston,

Virginia, Of Mice and Miracles explores

Martin’s childhood in Mt. Lebanon,

Pennsylvania, his development as an accomplished wrestler at the

University of Notre Dame, and his career as high school teacher, coach

and administrator.

Dick Martin and Fred Day will be present at the Edward Douglass

White Council following the council meeting on Thursday, September

17 to discuss Of Mice and Miracles and sign copies of the book. They

will also be present at the Family Breakfast on Sunday, September 20

from 9:00a.m. to noon to sign copies.

Books will be available for purchase at each event at a cost of $15.37.

Payment may be made in cash or by credit card. Individuals who are un-

able to attend the book signings but would like to purchase a copy of the

book may order a copy using PayPal at the publisher’s website:

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE

HONORING OUR ETERNAL MEMBER

We do several things or try to do several things when members pass

away. First and foremost if they are insurance members the Knights of

Columbus agent responsible for the member and his family will get into

gear and process all policies that are relevant which will provide financial

assistance for the family.

Second in importance is that we want to inform the membership of a

person’s passing and to provide time and place information to them of the

viewing/wake hours, the time and location of the funeral Mass and

reception, if open to the membership. Since deaths are often obviously

unexpected there isn’t a lot of time for the family to work out

arrangements amidst their mourning. So this is tough to ask of you but we earnestly want to

know of the arrangements as soon as they are made so that we can help provide comfort and

pay our respects both as a council and as individual members who have befriended you over

the years. Simply have a member of your family call the Columbus Club office at 703 536

9656 and ask to have your information relayed to the Grand Knight and Financial Secretary.

We traditionally honor this notification obligation by placing an official Death Notice

in The Washington Post. We will continue to honor this. However we can only do this if

we have the times and locations of the wake, Mass and reception known to us in time to

place in The Post.

We also honor the notification obligation by placing a notice in the Mansion for

members to see and relay to others.

A newer way we honor it is by getting the word out via email. This provides us the

ability to send the information out in real time as we receive it. The downside of this

method is that only a very limited number of members receive the alert.

So, we’d like to ask you to include in your Will or official papers a request for your

next of kin to notify the council of your death when the time comes, which comes to all

of us. We want to honor you and comfort your family, please allow us.

We’d also like to ask each of you that would like to receive emails of official

Edward Douglass White Council Death Notices to sign up for “Death notifications”

by visiting our email system and registering for them. [You can also register for

other information that’s available.]

Please visit: bit.ly/EDWesignup to register.

If you already have signed up for various council emails simply open one of them

up and at the very bottom click on the “update subscription preferences” to update

and include “Death notifications”.

Finally, we list every deceased member in the Knight Life monthly who has departed since

our last Memorial Mass, which is held each November. When you see the REQUIESCAT IN

PACE list please offer a prayer for these members and their families.

St. Rodrigo Aguilar Alemán, martyr from council 2330, please pray for us and guide us.

Respectfully,

John White

73RD Grand Knight

SICK AND IN OUR THOUGHTS Please remember the following members and their families in your daily prayers. If

you have time, give them a call or drop them a note.

MANAGER’S CORNER PETER SILANO

As we close a very successful summer season, I would like to

take this opportunity to thank the many employees involved,

starting with the camp.

Our Camp Director, Jill Burdick-Zupancic,Assistant Camp Director,

Mary O’Conner, and Extended Day Director, Regina O’Conner have

done a steller job in reorganizing the camp and its procedures. Our

counselors both returning and new have managed to keep our children

happy, healthy, hydrated and entertained the entire camp season.

Our Pool Manager, Leslie Washburn and Assistant Pool Manager

Christian Kerrigan and the “too many to mention” life guards/pool

desk clerks have done a great job managing the pool despite the many

obstacles including a very rainy July.

As always, the Deep End staff, Thom Galvin, Marijo Galvin and

their incredible team who always manage to handle the heat and

volume without complaint.

Lastly the Columbus Club staff Nick Beirne, Jeff Koch, Ruth

Haubert, Maria Diaz, Claudia Giron, Rene Ventura, Jose Cruz, and

Manuel Lezama who take on new responsibilities every season and

rise to the occasion. Special thanks to our new dish employee Sean

Cormany. Sean started at the club a few months ago and worked

every shift requested as well as many, many last minute shifts. Sean

has become a true asset to the Columbus Club and we hope he

remains with us for a long while.

We look forward to seeing you this fall starting with the Labor

Day Picnic, 9/7, End of Year Pool Party, 9/12, Family Breakfast, 9/20,

Oktoberfest Supper Club, 9/25 and the Annual Columbus Club Crab

fest on 10/2/15. All menus are listed elsewhere in this publication.

PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER - CHARITY

Our Dedicated Redcoats As Brother Knights, we all know that the first principle of the Knights

of Columbus is charity. Most members of EDW, their wives, and family

members likely have some knowledge of EDW’s Redcoats, and how they

serve and benefit our large Council. Most however, are unaware of two

related factors:

(1) EDW Redcoats derive funds from two sources:

(a gratuities and donations from customers and other sources; and

(b a stipend from our Columbus Club based on numbers of waiters

working during a given period of time; and

(2) what is done with the funds received by EDW’s Redcoats.

We, the Redcoat team captains, thought it was past time to share that

information with you. For well over 50 years there has existed a “Waiter’s

Fund”, carefully overseen by both EDW’s Financial Secretary and the Red-

coat team captains. Depending upon the number, and size of bookings and

events hosted by EDW, and served by our dedicated Redcoats, the balance

in the Waiters Fund at any given time may range between $1,000. and

$5,000. Almost from the onset of EDW’s Redcoats, a decision was made to

make periodic contributionsto religious, charitable, and other worthy

community causes (such as disaster relief).

Recently a review of records maintained of Redcoat donations revealed

that since 1994 (or over the past 21 years), EDW’s Redcoats have made

charitable contributions totaling about $73,000, or an average of approxi-

mately $3,500 per year.

There are a number of organizations that the Redcoats choose to

contribute to annually. These include: Priests Retirement Fund (Arlington

Diocese); Archdiocese of the Military; Missionhurst; Special Olympics (No.

VA chapter); KOVAR; and of course, EDW’s annual Thanksgiving Day

Dinner for those alone and in need. In addition, over the years similar

contributions have been made to disaster relief programs such as for Katrina

Relief, and similar relief drives.

Practicing the old saying that “charity begins at home”, the EDW Redcoat

team captains have frequently voted unanimously to assist our Council, and

the Columbus Club of Arlington, in purchasing such items as: heavy-duty

picnic tables; wrought-iron furniture for the Council home deck; BBQ grills

for the use of all on our grounds; new, or replacement freezer/refrigeration

equipment in our commercial-grade kitchen; as well as periodic contributions

to EDW’s Capital Campaign Fund.

As recently as July-August of this year, we’ve contributed to some new

(to us) charities or worthwhile community programs such as: the James Lee

Youth Sports Assn.; “Food for Families”; “Crossroads Pro-Life”; D.J.

O’Connell H.S. for a “Young Women’s Fall Conference; and last, but not

least, an initial contribution to the Little Sisters of the Poor. This summation

is meant to shed a little more light on what EDW’s Redcoats do in addition to

bartending and serving guests at events, including wedding receptions,

anniversary parties, school fundraising events, etc., etc.

There are five “Redcoat Teams” ranging in size from 15 or so, up to 35.

There are approximately 100 active Redcoats, ranging in age from 30’s on

up to late-70’s and early-80’s! We still have a small number of WWII

veterans still serving as Redcoats! If any of our newer, younger Brother

Knights, or even some recently retired and now having more time on their

hands, would like to join our ranks - your more than welcome to do so.

Just reach out and contact one of our Redcoat team captains, who are:

PGK Kenny Goss; Owen Beirne, Jr.; PGK Vince Long; Ray Fioramonti; or

Bob Muschamp (cell # 703-489-2856) Or speak to any Council, or Columbus

Club officer. Join us - to help your Council, and to practice Charity.

EDW ENJOYS GREAT DAY AT NATS PARK EDW Washington Nationals fans enjoyed what could be described as

a single and a half header (the finish of the rain-delayed game from the

day before and the game scheduled for Saturday) on July 18 on a

gorgeous sunny day.

Although the Nats struggled in the second game against the Los

Angeles Dodgers (losing 2-4), EDW members enjoyed a great barbecue

before the game at the mansion, unlimited beverages en route, and

raffles and prizes on the way home.

Thanks to Norm Marcocci, Owen Beirne, and John O’Neill III for

taking care of the participants and our great bus driver.

LIFE INSURANCE AS A GIFT?

The initial reaction for many people when you mention life

insurance as a gift is a quick step back and a questioning stare.

“How morbid,” they think. While it may seem that way when

you first mention it, life insurance is really a thoughtful gift that

can be a financial life preserver in tough times.

The problem with life insurance is the general perception.

Many think of death instead of the great benefits it provides, and

the security that it offers – even while you’re alive. Life insurance

should be thought of as a precautionary protective measure

for a family unit. The purchase of this product can mean saving

your home, sending your children to college, and preserving

your spouse’s quality of life in the event of your death.

One of the times you may want to purchase life insurance for

someone is when a family has a new baby. It’s a great, low-cost

way to set money aside for the future (i.e. college tuition, housing,

business start-up, etc.). Of greater importance, it ensures these

children will have insurance as adults, in case an illness later in

life makes him or her uninsurable.

Newlyweds are also ideal recipients for life insurance. As they

join their lives and financial responsibilities, young couples need

to make sure that their early investments are fully protected. If

something were to happen to one of them, the other may be faced

with serious financial hardship. A life insurance policy is an ideal

way to ensure their future and protect their assets.

As nontraditional as it may be, life insurance is a wise and

caring gift to purchase for many people.
