A $10.00 contribution by each of the approximately 66,000 Michigan Knights would give the Michigan Charities Fund $ 660,000.00 to distribute. Just think of the good that we could do if each member gave his fair share.
We need your support! Please include $10.00 or more with your dues payment or send a separate check payable to your local council. (Write “10” for Charities Program) on the memo line. Your Financial Secretary will send the total ”10” for Charities Program contributions to the State Secretary.
Working together as a team of 66,000 we can be a tremendous force of support for those who truly need us. Please do what you can. We thank you in advance for your help to help others. Vivat Jesus!
Attention Worthy Financial Secretaries,
As the council, annual dues billing season approaches please insure the list of charities which receive support from the State Council is distributed with your billings.
For those councils that bill manually by hard mail it is easy. Just insert the slip listing the charities provided by the State through your District Deputy into the billing envelope.
For councils that bill electronically we need you to make an extra step and either mail the slip separately or add as an e-mail attachment to your members.
A copy of the slip which you may attach to your e-billing is found on our website under Resources/Forms/Council Forms and is linked here.
The promotion of the “10” for Charities Program by distribution of the slip is essential for the funding of our charities program.
Thanks for your cooperation. Any questions may be directed to:
