Getting the Most as a Knight
Getting the Most as a Knight
In order to get the most from your Knights of Columbus membership, we encourage you to consider advancing and becoming a fourth degree. The first degree teaches us the importance of charity. The Second and Third Degrees expand on this with lessons of unity and fraternity. Once you reach Third Degree you are given full honors of Knighthood and are officially "Knighted". And finally, the Fourth Degree imparts upon us a lesson on the virtues of patriotism. Now, more than ever, we need patriots like you in our community.
Sign up a new member and Nate Ankerman will see that they gets info on becoming a 1st degree. There will be a 2nd and 3rd degree exemplification (or degree ceremony). More information on this is coming soon. Please consider this your chance to take the next step in this great organization. Also we ask that you ask your Catholic friends, family and neighbors to consider membership. Contact us at info@DelphosKofC.org or Lou Hohman at 419-203-0878 or Nate Ankerman at 419-234-6566.
K of C Monthly Meetings
If you are looking for a way to get involved, monthly meetings are a good way to find out how.K of C Monthly Meetings
The regular monthly meetings of the Delphos K of C are held on the 2nd Monday of each month. The business meeting begins at 8:00 PM, and usually concludes around 9:00pm.
Refreshments are provided to those in attendance. When was the last time that you attended a K of C meeting? We need to hear what changes members would like to see happen.
Why not come to a meeting and let others know how you feel we could improve what we do or how we do it. Will you get “roped” into working? Nobody will twist your arm.
In order for your K of C Council to continue to do the good things we do, volunteers are needed. We need more members to step up and help out. Everyone is busy but we all find time to do the things that are important to us. Hopefully the Delphos K of C is important to you too.
Help is needed at the Delphos K of C. We have several Officer positions that need filled and need help running projects. It doesn’t have to be year around or time consuming. Possibly one evening a month or less. For more information, contact me, Terry Van Grootheest at grandknight@delphoskofc.org, come to the hall any Thursday evening, or better yet, come to a regular monthly meeting that usually lasts about an hour. Your help will make a difference.
If you would like to be added to our Delphos Knights of Columbus group texting, please send a text with your name and a request to be added to the group to: 419-405-1179.

Every Thursday night at 9:00, there is a drawing from all the paid members' names. If the member's name that is drawn was registered for the weekly drawing, he will win some of the "pot". The amount is determined by the number of people who register for the drawing, and by how much is carried over from previous weeks, with a maximum of $500. There will be a $50.00 winner each Thursday if the "pot" exceeds $550.
Someone is going to win the POT on Thursday and it could be you.

It will also allow the promoting of events and making announcements.
Thank you to Nathan Ankerman, Michael & Joe Grubbenhoff, Bernie Fiedler and Lou Hohman. (And anyone else who I may have missed that is working hard on the project.)

Hall for Rent
Hall for Rent
Do you have a wedding to plan, or a graduation party, Christmas party, rehearsal dinner, or an event of any kind? Why not consider the K of C Hall for your special event? Our hall can accommodate small, medium, or large groups of people. You can rent the front part of the hall for gatherings of up to 100 people, or the entire hall for large groups. If you rent the front part for smaller gatherings, you can get the food from us, carry it in, or get your own caterer. Because of our liquor license, it is illegal for anyone to carry alcoholic beverages of any kind into the hall, so we cannot allow that to happen. However, we have custom catering, full bar services, a bright, clean, user friendly, handicap accessible facility. It can be decorated to satisfy the most exquisite tastes, or used “as is’ for a worry free event. If you have questions, please contact Mike Grubenhoff at 419-615-2445 or Nate Ankerman 419-234-6566. They will be glad to answer any questions or set up an appointment to talk about your plans.
