We have the opportunity to earn some credits for our Founder’s Award (one of the three requirements for Star Council) at the end of this month and beginning of November. To earn your Founder’s Award, your council must participate in at least two (2) Fraternal Benefit Events over the course of the fraternal year with a quota of members that is dependent on the size of your council. The required sum total attendance of unique members at these events must equal or exceed:

  • 10 members for councils of 99 or fewer members on their July 1, 2025 roster, or
  • 14 members for councils of 100 or more members on their July 1, 2025 roster

There are upcoming webinars presented by the Supreme Council which will count towards your Founder’s Award quota of events and members should your membership attend (virtually):

  • Monday, October 27th, 7pm CST – “Maximize your Living Benefits”
    • Learn more about the living benefits of life insurance
    • Registration link here
  • Wednesday, November 5th, 6pm CST – “Smart Steps to Take Now for Your Retirement”
    • Learn more about sources of retirement income, making sense of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), and distribution strategies
    • Registration link here
  • Wednesday, November 12th, 5pm CST – “Smart Steps to Take Now for Your Retirement”
    • Learn more about sources of retirement income, making sense of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), and distribution strategies
    • Registration link here

Please note: You must register for the webinar you wish to attend. The November 5th and 12th webinars are on the same topic. At the end of the webinar, there will be a survey that comes up for attendees online. Attendees should fill this out so Supreme can compile a list of who was present. Additionally, it would be very helpful if each person who registers and watches the webinar lets their respective Grand Knight know so that they can keep their own private tally for when it comes time to submit Form 11077. That form can be found online here. Only one (1) Form 11077 needs to be submitted for each council.  To complete this form, the council’s Grand Knight will need to record the number of participants and attach a list with the participant’s first/last name, cell number and email. Form 11077 should be submitted within 7 days of the webinar with the full list of participants.

Vivat Jesus!
