Public Relations
As a Knight of Columbus, you should continually search for new ways to enhance our Order’s mission and contributions to the Church, community and fellowman. Public relations can be a very useful communications tool, advancing Knights of Columbus principles and building community support for your council and its activities.
Public relations is simply communicating a message to an audience. To build a truly effective public relations program, messages should be ongoing to strengthen the council’s image and broaden its impact on society.
Annually every state council recognizes the best program in each area of Service Programs including Church, Community, Council, Family, Youth & Pro-Life at their state council convention. Note the addition of the Pro-Life category this year.
Why do this?
- Use as a recruiting tool
- Builds teamwork
- Provides recognition for your Council
- Provides a history and legacy for future members
- State winners recognized at Supreme Convention
Timing –
Submit your council Service Program entry by Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

My Brother Knights a Message from Bill (Money Man) LeVeque,
The term I take pen in hand, doesn't apply anymore. Updated for today, I punch the
keyboard to ask you, as many charities do to ask for your assistance, to help your
State Council with the many needs we are asked to support. Many charities this time of year ask for help with needed contributions and we as Knights of Columbus Councils, both local and state, receive many of these requests. One of the only ways the State Council has to raise money for charity is through our State Raffle.
I am asking you, the faithful who have sold or purchased State Raffle tickets, to again sell or purchase tickets as you have done in the past. It is with your help we have been able to assist many Brother Knights and charities. You exemplify our First Principle of Our Honored Order - Charity.
I am sure your council is receiving many request from different organizations to help with monetary donations. Remember the State Raffle is a fund raiser for your council too. $1.00 out of every $5.00 comes back to your council to be used for their charitable donations.
I would like to thank those of you have already sold or purchased your tickets this past year and I am asking you to please consider selling or purchasing again. If you have not sold or bought your tickets yet please consider doing so.
If you are unable to contribute financially I ask for you to pray for the success of the Raffle, as so many Charities rely on our financial support.
Bill LeVeque
