Brothers,
If you like golf and special olympics, I got something you might like. You can volunteer at the concession stand at the US Open. This will count towards our Special Olympics contributions and you will also get to see the best play golf. Let me know if interested.

John,
I got a call today from an individual at the US Open that will be
taking place at Torrey Pines June 9-15. They wanted to know if we wanted to
work at one of the concession tents and then we would receive a portion
of the proceeds. We have accepted and will be working on staffing the
tent. I was wondering if it would be possible to have your group help
us
staff that tent? They are going to fax over the contract with more
details so once I get that I can let you know but I wanted to touch
base
with you first to see if that's something that your group might want to
take on. What do you think?

Pro-Life Statement from Supreme Knight
Remarks by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson at the 2008 March for Life
Washington, DC - January 22, 2008
Thank you, Nellie, for your tireless energy and devotion to the prolife cause.
We first met 30 years ago at the March for Life and I am proud that thousands of Knights of Columbus have volunteered to help stage this march over the years.
We have followed your example. We help organize Marches for Life all across North America - at the West Coast March for Life three days ago in San Francisco, in Mexico City last fall, and in the Canadian capital of Ottawa each May.
We gather here today at the beginning of another election year, a year in which almost all of the candidates promise "change." But we have been coming to Washington for 35 years asking for change - asking to change Roe v. Wade.
Thirty-five years ago, the Supreme Court imposed a change on our nation that is at odds with our history, our Constitution and our humanity. And it is time to change Roe v. Wade.
Abortion is wrong because abortion hurts everyone.
It takes the life of the innocent unborn child.
It victimizes the mother and the father.
It compromises doctors and nurses.
It undermines respect for judges.
It implicates the taxpayer who pays for it.
It coarsens the society that tolerates it.
No woman should feel that she must have an abortion.
We can find a better way.
We can build a society in which every woman and child can find the support and care they deserve.
We can build a culture of life.
We can give hope to every woman and every child.
Today I see thousands of helping hands ready to make this hope a reality and I know there are millions more.
Together we can bring change.
Together we can build a new culture of life in our hearts, in our homes, and in our laws.

Marriage Initiative Information from State Deputy
January 18, 2008
James R. Scroggin
3303 W. Wellington Ln.
Fresno, CA 93711-1167
Dear Worthy State Deputy and Brother Jim,
The California Catholic Conference has set as one of its legislative priorities the defense and support of “the institution of marriage between a man and a woman as the basic foundation of society.” This principle was approved as law by over 60% of voters in favor of Proposition 22 in the year 2000. However, this law is now at risk of being overturned by the California Supreme Court later this year, when it rules on the question of its constitutionality. Moreover, our state legislature has attempted to pass a law to legalize same-sex marriage, thus thwarting the will of the voters.
For this reason, the Protect Marriage group, which originally filed Proposition 22, has now filed an initiative to amend the California state constitution to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman, thereby granting it immunity from the courts and the legislature. I have been personally supporting a group of Catholics here in San Diego who are working with Protect Marriage to qualify this initiative for the November ballot.
Many things have to happen to make this possible, not the least of which is the collection of 1.1 million signatures by mid-April. The efforts of the Knights of Columbus in our state can be an important factor in making this happen. However, if and to the extent that any signature gathering takes place on parish property, it must, of course, be carried out in accordance with the position and under the direction of the local bishop and parish pastor. This principle must be clearly born in mind and respected.
At the same time, please know that any support which the Knights of Columbus can give to this most critical endeavor would be greatly appreciated by all of us who are working to get the marriage amendment intiative put on the ballot for the election this November.
Taking this occasion to extend to you my sentiments of esteem and best wishes, I remain,
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Rev. Salvatore Cordileone
Auxiliary Bishop of California

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS STATE SCHOLARSHIP
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS STATE SCHOLARSHIP
One of the most overlooked Knights of Columbus Programs is the State Scholarship, designed specifically for high school seniors planning to enter College or continuing students currently enrolled in a College or University. Deadline for submittal of an application portfolio is March 1, 2008
The Scholarship Program offers 11 $1,000 scholarships plus 1 $500 scholarship, has helped many students in California to afford to begin College and others to stay in College and provides no restrictions to the type of school, whether a public or private institution.
Qualifications of Scholarships, Required Documents, Scholarship Application, Verification of Eligibility, Personal Statement Requirements, Application Portfolio Deadline and Portfolio Submittal Location are all found on Pages 124 through 127 within the California State Council Program Handbook and the State Council Website. Every Grand Knight in every Council has a copy of this Handbook
You can't possibly imagine the words of gratitude and prayers of thanksgiving that come to us from winning Scholarship recipients and their families. Yet, how many times I have the words from Brother Knights, "If I only knew about it, my son or daughter would have applied for it because they might qualify for a Scholarship".
NOW is the time for students and their families to begin the application process in order to meet the deadline of March 1, 2008. NOW is the time for all Councils and Brother Knights to promote this valuable Program that supports the youth of our State.
GOD BLESS,
David Walker, Chairman
