Anyone also in the Knights of Columbus

[Angus]

If there are any members here who are also in the Knights I'd like to talk about some KofC issues Knight to Knight and get some opinions.

SK here, former Deputy Grand Knight...

[Angus]

Ah good so you've been around which is what  I need.  I'm nearing the end of my year as Grand Knight and decided to run again for another year cause there's just stuff I haven't been able to accomplish in one year. Last year coming into it I had thought about going District Deputy after my year. Until recently I thought I'd have to put it off another year as I had been told you couldn't do both.  But last night I was told by a Past State Deputy that guys have done both.  Do you know anyone that's done both and how did it go for them? 

I also forgot to mention that next year I'm going to be the Faithful Captain in my Assembly. 

[cap235629]

as far as I know you can't do both but I could be wrong.  I know of people serving as DD and being Trustees but that is about it....

[Angus]

I had been told you couldn't.  But this was a former State Deputy that said it's been done.  I think for those few and far between second term Grand Knights they might do it.  Plus I think the rules pretaining to GK's and DD's is some whar arbitrary. I know one DD who was never GK, he said he didn't want it.  CAP kept him too busy.

My brother did both in Massachusetts PFN, PGK, DD 4 terms

My grandfather was some high up person in knights of columbus.

He gave me his fancy sword... 

[Pylon]

Just a plain ol' 3rd degree. No fancy titles.

What's on the Hilt of the Sword?  An egale or Christopher Columbus? 

[Major Carrales]

I am a 4th Degree Knight, served on the Color Guard for a few functions for the Assembly.  I also severed in several positions a few years back at my 3rd Degree Council.  I need to be more active there, but work and CAP has taken most of my free time.  My Sword has Christopher Columbus on the hilt.  I've been Deputy Grand Knight, but never made it to "the center seat."

We had a guy show up one time wearing his KC pin on his blues.

(And, yes, before anyone has a coniption fit, we told him he couldn't wear it)

Columbus.

When my Grandfather died I inherited his sword that he received when he took his 4th degree in 1946.

[Major Carrales]

I had no idea so many you you were Knights... that is good to know in that I can related those principles that benefit the discussion here.  Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism are not out of place in CAP, in fact, true focus on those points enhance and explain a lot about members of both.  Volunteerism is a form of charitable franchise, with actions and time as opposed to pure financial contributions, Unity and Fraternity promote organizational excellence.  True patriotism includes a RESPECT for insitutions and traditions as well as volunteer service and a since of integrity.

I stuffed my face full of fish and shrimp at a K of C fundraiser Lenten Feast last night, does that count?

Fried catfish, baked pollock, boiled shrimp, tater salad, slaw, hushpuppies and more desserts than you imagine. YUM!

[brenaud]

Might as well up the total by one here.  Not active right now but a member nonetheless.

I'm not a KofC but I am a Freemason. The other side of the fraternal coin! Both are excellent organizations.
