Comment by District 15 Knights on December 22, 2016 at 9:28pm: District 8 looks forward to engaging more fully in membership growth & development (retention). We hope this group will, itself, grow and flourish with good ideas and conversation.

Comment by M on July 27, 2015 at 5:42pm: One of the biggest problems, it seems to me, as GK, is to get one guy to head up the "Give Me 5" and another man to head up the "Power of 10." The idea I'm trying to get across is taking the burden off of the GK of having to recruit most or all of the new members.

Comment by Membership Director - IA KofC on December 6, 2013 at 9:41pm: We need to be positive …. Help our Brother Knights think ONE at a time as the goal and not TWELVE. Twelve is the number of apostles which brings us to the 4-Mores just in case we may 4-Get its about Charity rooted in Faith. We evangelize the world putting our Faith into Action ONE loving act at time. When a council invites new Brothers and Grows them in Charitable Activity, Faith Formation and Fraternal Support a special Christian Brotherhood develops.

So don’t 4-Get to Ask One Man to join the Knights in order to do More-4 himself, his family and his church. Do it NOW B-4 it’s too late.
