ADMINISTRATIVE STUFF

Ah, the start of the new fraternal year. Many councils are looking forward to a successful year of programs, fundraisers, faith growing, and fellowship. There are many new council officers out there as well. There is a lot of planning already underway. But, we cannot forego the required forms from Supreme. These documents are key to making sure your council has up-to-date information from Supreme and State Councils. Time to get out from under all of the paperwork!

The Report of the Officers Chosen (185) and Service Program Personnel Report (365) were due on July 1. Cleveland is doing a great job of getting the 185s into Supreme and State as 75% of the councils have already done that. We are lagging behind in the 365s of which only 55% of the councils have submitted the forms. All of the forms are available on the state website (www.kofcohio.org) under FORMS&EMAILS. However, the best way to submit the forms is via Member Management. The Grand Knight and/or Financial Secretary can log into Officers Online, scroll down till you reach Supporting Applications, and click on Member Management, you find any area called Council Administration. In there, the left side menu allows you to enter the Officers and Program Directors FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. If you need any assistance, contact your District Deputy, Mike Incorvati, Teran Taggart, or Jim Maslach.

ALERT!!! Your council semi-annual audit, Form 1295, is due on August 15th. Please make sure that you email a copy to form1295@kofcohio.org. This email will send Supreme and the State a copy. You will need to include your District Deputy. The contact information for all of the District Deputies is listed on the last page of this newsletter.
