STATE DEPUTY REPORT
JIM NEFF
Dear Brother Knights and Ladies All:
I would like to thank all those attending our
101st State Convention in Hot Springs. We were
treated to
a moving homily from Bishop Taylor and remarks
regarding priest reassignments at the banquet.
Our
Supreme Representative was PSD John Wainscott
and his lovely wife Lady Linda from Utah who
energized
2
us with his remarks and message from Supreme
Knight, Carl Anderson. Our Host District Deputy
Newton
White did a great job assisted by WONDER LADY
VICKI STANLEY. I feel humbled to have been
chosen to serve another year as
your State Deputy and will continue to
give it my all in search of excellence. I want
to congratulate our new State Council officers
elect: Charles Ketter - State Secretary; Mike
Kieffer - State Treasurer; Mike Mitchell -
State Advocate, and Gerald
Krawczynski - State Warden. Also, I want to
thank our departing State Officers for all
their hours of service and dedication to the
Arkansas Jurisdiction. A special thanks to our
least recognized but most appreciated
and important Ladies who provide us with so
much support.
I received incredible support and guidance from
our Program Directors and Chairmen. But the
guys
who are closest to our councils and Grand
Knights are our District Deputies, and I was
blessed to have
twelve of the very finest. They earned their
stripes every day in their efforts to motivate
and assist at the
council level where our accomplishments
originate and are consummated. Many of our
District Deputy's
will be completing the traditional two year
assignment, one five years, two are going to
State Officer
positions, one is moving out of state, one is
moving to a night job and our State Convention
Host District
Deputy will be trying to manage the growth of
his rapidly expanding business. A large void
indeed, but a
great opportunity for new Brother Knights to
step up and make a difference!
We exemplified 54 new Third Degree Knights at
Searcy on April 26st. District Deputy Ron
Wildman did
a great job in setting this up. We owe a
special thanks to our excellent Conway Team,
under the able
leadership of Don Moix, who performed a Second
and Third Degree for the fourth time this
fraternal year.
One of our highest priorities this next year is
to establish/re-establish at least one more
Second and Third Degree Team. This is another
opportunity for Brother Knights to step up, join
a team and make a difference.
As of this writing, we need 45 new members to
achieve Circle Of Honor. Keep up the recruiting
and
get the Form 100s into Supreme via fax or email
no later than June 15th. We have a record number
of
councils who have achieved their membership goal
and are poised to achieve Star Council. If
insurance
is holding you back, consider soliciting non-
insurance members to take out annuities. Seek
assistance
from your Field Agent, Fred Ward and me. Your
council deserves nothing less than Star Council
because
you have earned it.
We have tremendous momentum going into our next
fraternal year. Our goals are continued
solidarity
with our bishop and priests, increased Star
Council achievement, continued new council
development
and consistent, year over year Circle of Honor
attainment. It's been a great ten month ride and
I thank all
for your continued support. "Every job is a self
portrait of the person who did it. Autograph
your work with
excellence." Author unknown.
Thanks for letting me play a small part in your
many successes and blessings to all.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS MAY 23-24, 2009 HARDING
UNIVERSITY SEARCY, ARKANSAS
Location is Southwest side of Football field at
Olympic Village
NEED YOUR HELP
RAYMOND PATRICK - STATE SPECIAL OLYMPICS
DIRECTOR
The games this year will be held at Harding
University in Searcy on Friday May 22nd through
Saturday May 23rd. Volunteers are needed to
maintain the games for about 8 hours on Friday
(8:00 AM - 4:30 PM) and about 6 hours on
Saturday (8:30 AM - 2:00 PM).
Special Olympics was chartered in Arkansas in
1970 and since then, the Knights of Columbus has
been active in the State Games sponsoring and
maintaining Olympic Town. Olympic Town is a
games
and handicraft village for the athletes to enjoy
when not participating in their athletic events.
Sine an event
takes only about one half hour, the village
games provide exciting fun filled activities
between those
events.
Supreme started a Special Olympics grant
program in 2005 to reward the jurisdictions
that furnish the
most support for the State Special Olympics
programs. The program started in 2005 with an
initial grant
of $3,000 to each Special Olympics chapter. For
the year 2006 and forward, the grant will be
based on the
12
physical and financial support we give to
Special Olympics. Report 4584, "Partnership
Profile Report with
Special Olympics" was to be filed for the first
time by January 31st.
Special Olympics is the quickest and surest
road to self confidence. Always told "You can't
do it."
Special Olympics say "You can do it. All you
need is a chance." Working with the handicapped
athletes
brings as much joy to the volunteers as it does
to the athletes and the Knights are always
grateful for any volunteers to help with the
State Games. The success of the
games has been made possible by the
dedication of many volunteers who know that
handicapped individuals have important
contributions to
make to society. No matter how you choose to
help, your efforts will have an impact on the
athletes and
will be greatly appreciated by the athlete's
families and Special Olympic personnel. Any
time, talent,
materials or financial support you and your
family and friends can contribute will be
appreciated.
SUPREME AND SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Over the past 40 years, the Knights of Columbus
has raised and donated more than $382 million to
programs for people with intellectual and
physical disabilities.
Among the larger gifts of time and money the
Order makes annually is to Special Olympics and
other
programs for people with intellectual and/or
physical disabilities.
In 2005, the Knights of Columbus announced a
partnership with Special Olympics. It committed
$1
million over the next four years to grow the
programs of Special Olympics in North America
and pledged
more volunteers for state and local games. The
Order will also work with Special Olympics North
America
to expand its programs to countries currently
underserved by it.
The Knights' commitment to Special Olympics and
to hundreds of grassroots programs for people
with
intellectual and physical disabilities is an
expression of its belief in the intrinsic worth
of every human
being.
RETENTION OR SUSPENSION
PHIL HAHN,
STATE RETENTION DIRECTOR
This is the time of the billing process that you
have to make the choice to retain or suspend a
member.
Before you begin the suspension process be sure
you have a retention committee, and that this
committee
has contacted or tried to contact every member
who has not paid their dues for this year.
If the member is unable to be contacted, a
registered letter with signature required should
be sent to
the last known address. Yes, this is expensive
but it shows you have tried to contact the
member with
physical, undeniable proof. The cost is probably
less than a possible rejection by supreme and a
per
capita dues. And you have him off the roles for
next year. But if the member has been contacted
by a member of the retention committee, was he
addressed to
13
as a person and not as a number within the
council? That is, was he asked if there is a
problem or reason
which he feels compels him to leave the council
and would he tell the retention member what that
reason
is so that it can possibly be addressed and
corrected. Has it been explained to the member
what he loses
by leaving the Order, e.g., loss of continual
years of service, loss of the Fraternal Benefit
for free accident insurance for his survivor, a
Mass said daily for him and his spouse when
either leaves this earth? If the
member lost his job or cannot afford to pay,
maybe a member will cover for him, or the
council will carry
him for the year (but not for year after year).
Is he ill? Perhaps the form A Waiver from Dues
is possible.
No member is to be released because he cannot
pay!
If you have done everything possible to
retain or contact
the member and a Form Number 1845 Notice
Of Intent To Suspend is being sent to the
member, be sure to send the copies to the
designated parties
shown on the bottom of the form, i.e., the
delinquent member, Supreme, the District Deputy
and the State
Deputy. With regard to the State Deputy, send a
copy of any physical evidence you have which
shows you
have exhausted every effort to contact the
member. Send also a copy of the back side of
Form Number
365 Service Program Personnel because it shown
the name of your Retention Chairman. Supreme
wants all councils to have this position filled
as Supreme wants the Membership Chairman
position filled.
I ask you this because it saves time and
aggravation on your part as well as the State
Deputy who
must decide to approve or reject suspensions,
especially if he thinks proper procedures and
effort are not
being done.
Note also, councils that have not relinquished
members for a number of years will not get all
suspensions
processed in one year. It took years to build
up. It will take more than one year to suspend
all. Do it
gradually, best is yearly.
If you have any questions, please contact me at
either phil_unique@centurytel.net or
pghahn@centurytel.net.

NEW COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT CHAIRMAN
JIMMY MCKINNON PSD
This year has been a very active year for new
councils in the State of Arkansas. Our goal was
set by
Supreme to have two new councils started in 2008-
2009. We have met that goal by establishing a
council
in Scranton and a Hispanic Council in Rogers. A
Vietnamese Council has been submitted to Supreme
for
approval in Fort Smith.
We are working on several other councils for
this year or
next year. We will work with the Parish Priest,
the District Deputy, and the local council in
the formation of a new council. I would like to
thank the District Deputies and others that
worked and spent many hours in starting these
councils. The Knights of Columbus,
with the three new councils is growing in
membership and if you know of areas for future
growth of new
councils, please contact me at 501-803-0723.

40 Days for Life was well supported by our
diocese and clergy. Bishop Anthony Taylor
(picture below)
prayed at the opening, the mid-point & the
closing. It was wonderful to see our bishop on
the street
praying in front of the abortion clinic. He is
a strong leader for the life issues facing our
Church. As
Knights we are proud to serve Bishop Taylor in
every way we can. 40 Days was well supported by
Father
Gordon shown below in front of Planned
Parenthood at 12th & University Ave. in Little
Rock. Fr. Gordon
FSSP (Picture below) and the Latin Mass
Community of North Little Rock adopted many
days and Fr.
Gordon spent several hours on his knees at both
locations. Below is a picture of James Pinto

priests, it means
you managed to dodge our cameras. Many, many
deacons also supported 40 Days for Life. Central
Arkansas Knights of Columbus covered 12 hours of
prayer at both Little Rock sites on March 25th
Feast of
the Annunciation with some help from the regular
prayer volunteers. The Diocese of Little Rock
staff
sponsored a day and Marianne Linane from the
Respect Life Office prayed on site for the
entire 12 hours.
MORE 40 DAYS FOR LIFE SAVES IN LITTLE ROCK
6 MOTHERS & BABIES WERE SAVED FROM THE INTRINSIC
EVIL OF ABORTION
While I was there a couple of young women drove
into the clinic and one returned to the street
and
asked what we were doing to which I replied that
we were praying for the unborn children and she
then
asked who we were and I said we were Catholics
from local Churches and we were committed to
forty
days of prayer to help mothers in their time of
need. She said she was going to the clinic
because her
people said it was what she needed to do but she
was not so sure. I told her about the Arkansas
Pregnancy
Resource Center across the street and that it
was free and could help her find other options.
She returned
to the abortion clinic and soon after they drove
across the street and went inside. After about
twenty
minutes they came back out to their car and
drove out and turned left and stopped beside me
and a
woman with me and told me thank you for talking
with her and
said she thought killing her baby would be
murder and I said that I would have to agree
and she then said she was unsure as to what she
was going
to do but she sure was not going to the
abortion clinic. They then drove down the
street and turned around
and came back by and told us all God Bless as
they drove by to leave. Praise Be To God.
(Friday, March
6th)
. . .
I started my day over at Office Park Drive with
a wonderful group of prayer volunteers from St.
Jude's.
Our beloved sidewalk counselor was there
providing sidewalk counseling. I heard her
gently call out to
someone in the abortion center's parking lot,
and then a young girl came to the fence to talk
to the
sidewalk counselor. They walked across the
street and talked. After a while, the girl went
back to the
abortion center. The girl 13 and her mother were
insisting on the abortion. The sidewalk
counselor asked
the girl to see if her Mother would come and
talk to her. In a few minutes, while all of us
lifted them up in
prayer, the Mother and the daughter came over to
the sidewalk counselor, and she talked to them
for
some time. After they finished talking, the girl
and her mother got in their car and left. The
sidewalk
counselor said they were a "turn around." Praise
God! This young girl had a definite appointment
to abort
her unborn child, and that appointment was not
kept as a result of people taking time out of
their lives to be prayerful Christian witnesses
to those most in need. (Saturday, March 7th)
. . .
A girl was entering the parking lot in a car
with her Mother and her 2 year old daughter. She
was there
for an abortion. The Security Guard told the
Mother that the young child would not be able to
come in, so
the Mother had to leave. As she was leaving, our
sidewalk counselor took the opportunity to talk
to the
Mother. The Mother shared with her their
concerns about being able to afford to raise
another child. The
sidewalk counselor talked to her about the
resources available next door at our Crisis
Pregnancy Center
and about what her daughter would be going
through in the abortion clinic and after the
abortion. She
encouraged the Mother to call her daughter and
see if she could get her to leave. The Mother
drove away.
About an hour later she returned and said that
her daughter changed her mind and she was there
to get
17
her. So she pulled into the parking lot and went
and got her daughter out of the clinic. The
sidewalk
counselor then went with them over to our crisis
pregnancy center. She spent time with them
assuring
them of support from the Center. She said the
daughter was incredibly happy with her decision
to keep
her baby. She is due in November. (Saturday,
March 21st)
In other news, the St. Edward's Parish `Voice
for the Unborn' Baby Bottle Campaign has
completed
their first collection. The initial count is
expected to be over $700.00 we are still
waiting for all the change
to be counted. Jon Haslauer delivered 455
bottles to Frank Olguin at the State Knights of

convention so this project will start moving in

FIFTY-ONE NEW THIRD DEGREE MEMBERS IN ARKANSAS
Second and Third Exemplifications conducted in
Searcy on April 26 added fifty-one (51) more
third
degree Knights to the Arkansas Knights of
Columbus roll. The exemplifications were hosted
by Searcy's

(Council 04143Conway) conducted both
exemplifications.
The Degree team was in top form and did a
fantastic job. Eighteen (18) councils sent the
51 candidates
from throughout the State. A spaghetti dinner
followed the installation with salad and bread
pudding for
dessert that was absolutely delicious. Nobody
left hungry. Our thanks go out the cooks at

two Knights
participated. Ronny Bran of the Hot Springs
Council was the Golf Chairman.
Committee meetings followed that afternoon and
the conventioneers enjoyed food and drink at
four
hospitality rooms that evening. Some of the

Springs with the Gangster Museum. The ladies
who had
