Volume 56 No. 6 May-Jun 2016 Our 92nd Year
Brothers:
My year as Grand Knight is now winding down I want to thank
everybody for coming out to the meetings and council events to help
make this year a nice & memorable columbian year.
By the time you read this issue we will have held our Communion
Breakfast May 1st with guest speaker Deacon Bonocore & our
Memorial Mass May 3rd. Please keep our members who have
passed away and their families in your prayers.
The upcoming elections in June are a challenge for the want of candidates who can make themselves
available for the next columbian year. Please consider prayerfully whether you can fill one of these
important jobs. In retrospect there were many who helped to make this year a success. May it continue
to help bring about another successful columbian year.
Coming up on June 21st is our annual Awards Night. Elsewhere in this issue you’ll see the
recommendations for the cash awards to be dispensed.
On June 26, 27 and 28 Brian Dunker will be leading the trip to Villa Roma for three days of golf-
always an exciting event!
On July 9th the council golf outing at Spring Lake Golf Club with dinner & awards on the following
day July10th at the council. Please try to get people you are dealing with to help with sponsorships. It is
an important fundraiser for the council.
In July Jim Kelly will again be running the trip to watch the Long Island Ducks. That is always a fun
night.
I wish to thank the officers, the directors, the Kenny Club Board & in memoriam Edward O’Neill
one of our Board members. Again thanks to our council membership for contributing to the success of
Joseph Barry this year.
Vivat Jesu

Update Your Beneficiaries
Sometimes it is easy to overlook the simplest of
things.
Take, for example, the beneficiaries on your life
insurance policies. If your policy was applied for and
issued several years ago, it may very well be that the
person you originally selected as the beneficiary is
no longer the person you would want to receive the
policy proceeds. If you bought the policy when you
were single, for example, you may have named your
parents as beneficiaries. If you have since married,
your policies should be updated to reflect your
spouse as beneficiary. Maybe you’ve had children
since, who are not named on the policies.
Most people list a primary beneficiary, who is
specifically designated as the first in priority to
receive policy proceeds. We also encourage the
naming of a contingent beneficiary, an alternate
person designated to receive policy proceeds,
usually in the event that the original beneficiary pre-
deceases the insured.
I routinely call all of my policyholders for annual
review appointments, usually near the anniversary
date of your policy – that is, the date it was originally
issued. One of the matters that I’ll discuss during this
review is the status of your beneficiary designations.
If they need updating, and they often do, I can
complete the paperwork during that appointment.
I look forward to meeting with each of you to
discuss your family’s needs.
