Grand Knight’s Report

My Brother Knights,

In July, brother Knights Marvin Dupre, Vince Naquin, Louis Savoie and I attended the Knights of Columbus Leadership Seminar in Prairieville. As the new Grand Knight, they overloaded me with packages of forms, reports and too much information! The lectures were excellent and very informative. Our council has 121 official members as of July 29 th. Our regular attendance at our monthly business meetings average approximately 16 to 18 members. That’s about 1.5% of the membership! I know how hectic it is working all day, raising a family and the responsibilities of family life; however if you would come and join us once in a while, I feel certain you would enjoy the fellowship and a good meal. Please make an effort to come join us and renew old friendships. We have a family day scheduled for September 25th in Dulac at their KC Home. This function is in conjunction with our District Gumbo Cook-Off. The judging will begin at 10:00AM. We will have food, music and fun. ‘Hope to see you there!

Rachel; meaning "ewe", idiomatically: one

with purity, as described in the Hebrew

Bible, is a prophet and the favorite wife of

Jacob, one of the three Biblical Patriarchs,

and mother of Joseph and Benjamin. She was

the daughter of and the younger sister of

Leah, Jacob's first wife. Jacob was her first

cousin, as Jacob's mother Rebecca was

Laban's sister. Rachel is first mentioned in

the Bible in Genesis 29 when Jacob happens

upon her as she is watering her lamb. He had

traveled a great distance to find his mother’s

brother, Laban. Rebekah had sent him there

to be safe from his furious twin brother,

Esau. During Jacob's stay, he fell in love

with Rachel and agreed to work seven years

for Laban in return for her hand in marriage.

On the night of the wedding, the bride was

veiled and Jacob did not notice that Leah,

Rachel’s older sister, had been substituted for

Rachel. Whereas “Rachel was lovely in form

and beautiful,” “Leah had weak eyes.” Later

Jacob confronted Laban, who excused his

own deception by insisting that the older

sister should marry first. He assured Jacob

that after his wedding week was finished, he

could take Rachel as a wife as well, and

work another seven years as payment for her.

After Leah had given birth to four sons,

Rachel remained unable to conceive. She

became jealous of Leah and gave Jacob her

maidservant, Bilhah, to be a surrogate

mother for her. Bilhah gave birth to two

sons: Dan and Naphtali. After Leah

conceived again, Rachel was finally blessed

with a son, Joseph, who would become

Jacob's favorite child.

The Funny BoneThe Funny BoneThe Funny BoneThe Funny Bone God creates Adam, and soon Adam is complaining

that he's all alone in the Garden of Eden.

So God says, "Okay, I'll make you a companion, a

beautiful creature who'll cook and clean for you. It

will be able to converse intelligently on any subject,

and never ever complain or argue."

Adam says, "That sounds great."

God says, "The only thing is, it will cost you an arm and a leg."

Adam says, "Man, that's expensive. What can I get for a rib?"

Raising Awareness About Life Insurance Each September since 2003 has been designated as Life Insurance Awareness Month. Like

most awareness-raising campaigns, Life Insurance Awareness Month was created because there is

an overwhelming lack of understanding of the product among the general public. Each year, the

Life Insurance Market Research Association puts out the results from a recent survey, and

unfortunately, the numbers they report continue to be discouraging.

A recent survey found that 76 percent of people polled did not have a personal financial

advisor. Sixty-eight percent of that same survey group said their opinion of the current economic

conditions was somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable.

In other words, a majority of those surveyed were uncomfortable with the economy and the

uncertainty it brings, yet they did not seek professional assistance. Maybe they spoke with their

friends and family. Maybe they hoped the instability would go away on its own. Maybe they did

not know to whom to turn.

If you fall into this category, please remember that as a member of the Knights of Columbus,

you have a full-time, professional agent you can call your own. My primary responsibility is the

care and service of your family’s life insurance, retirement and long-term care needs. I’ll answer

your questions because I want your decisions to be informed ones. I want to help.

Another LIMRA statistic said 43 percent of people did not buy life insurance because they

worry about “making the wrong decision.” Talk with me agent, and, afterwards, you’ll

understand that the only wrong decision was not purchasing sooner to protect your family’s

future.
