Honorary Life Members
 By Steve Nagy

 One of my duties as Warden is to check the Membership cards of our Brothers before the start of our meetings. As the younger Brothers search through their wallets to find their current Membership cards, our Senior Brothers quickly and proudly present their plastic Honorary and Honorary Life Membership cards. They proudly show these cards like they were Platinum Amex cards with an unlimited credit line. What are these special plastic cards? And how did they get them? They are issued to Brother Knights after many years of continuous membership in the Knights of Columbus and upon the reaching of a certain age.
A Brother Knight gets his Honorary membership card at the age of 65 and with 25 years of continuous membership. His membership dues are then reduced to $10 per year. The Honorary Life Membership is given at the age of 70 with 25 years of continuous membership. The Honorary Life member is no longer assessed any annual dues. As of November of this year our Union Council has 59 Honorary members and 315 Honorary Life members. The following  are our latest members of both groups as of July, beginning of this Columbian year.
Honorary members - William Burns, Francis Bradley, Peter Brady, John Phillippi, and Stanley Kwiatek
Honorary Life members - Edwin Hackney, Bernard Stummer, Edmund Biedrzycki, John McClung, Richard Devivo, Patrick Catino, and John Smith.
Congratulations to our Brother Knights on achieving these milestones, and thank you to all of them for their service and commitment to the Knights of Columbus and our Council.
