KNIGHT OF THE MONTH

This month, our Knight ofthe Month is Tom Maguire.

For those of you who made the Annual Meeting of the

Columbus Club of Arlington on January 4th, you know

what a great job Tom is doing as Columbus Club

Treasurer. He’s kept the budget tight, and is always

ready to explain the year-to-year changes in the many

line items. Tom’s volunteer services to the Club should

be appreciated by all – but not just for his responsibilities

as Club Treasurer. If you enjoy our monthly Family

Breakfasts, Tom also coordinates the volunteer staff that

makes those such great occasions for our families. Many

thanks, Brother Tom.

FAMILY OF THE MONTH

If you don’t know Bob

and Amy Dannemiller, you

don’t know EDW! They do

so many things above and

beyond the call, and

frequently behind the

scenes, that if you’re not

behind the scenes too, you

don’t see it. Ifyou worked at

the Thanksgiving feed, or

the Family Breakfasts you

saw them. They’re a part of

almost everything we do

around here, so when they

were conspicuously absent

from the EDW Christmas

Party - we were short door

prizes in a big way! I

especially missed my annual chance to win one of their

Cap’s or Wizard’s tickets. Having just seen Bob at the

November Columbus Club Board meeting, and the

December Family Breakfast, I knew he was feeling more

than a little under the weather. What could keep the

Dannemillers from a great party? How about getting a

stent put in! Bob spent the evening of the party in a

hospital bed with a little unscheduled surgery - but true

to form, they made it to the New Year’s Eve Gala!

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE OurNew Year’s Eve Gala revelers enjoyed bringing in

the New Year at EDW. SK Bob Muschamp provides a

great summary of the event in this month’s Knight Life.

Even as we’ve just turned over a new year, we have a

fast-approaching Lenten Season that begins on

Valentine’s Day since Ash Wednesday falls on February

14th this year. But not to worry! EDW has a red meat-

free (that means seafood for us!) Valentine’s Day

Supper Club on the first Friday in Lent (Feb. 16th), with

our usual Family Breakfast on Sunday the 18th.

Thank you to all who contributed to our

“Christians at Risk” end-of-year push to raise $2K to enable a displaced Christian

family to move back into a home in Karamles, Iraq. We blew past our goal by

about 50%, and will continue to raise funds for our brothers and sisters in the

Middle East in the coming months.

We held our Annual Columbus Club Meeting & Elections following the

EDW meeting on January 4th. There was some significant discussion about a

proposed expansion of the pool deck. Please take note of the meeting summary

in this Knight Life. We also held an Open House/Social on January 18th, and

enjoyed talking about our organization and council to prospective Knights.

Thanks to all who helped get the word out at our parishes for this event. Thank

you to all who participated in March for Life 2018 on Jan 19th. It’s truly an

inspirational event, and this year the weather was even pleasant for a change! I

would also like to reiterate my thanks to PGK John White for his efforts on

providing warm coats, scarves, knit caps and waterproof boots for local children

as part of the KofC “Coats for Kids” Campaign. John is also participating in the

upcoming “Polar Plunge” event to raise money for the Special Olympics of

Virginia. His daughter Allison is also plunging in Virginia Beach on February

3rd, and is really the one bringing in the donations. She’s near the top of the

leader board, and has already surpassed $5K.

EDW is supporting four seminarians this year. Please keep these men in your

prayers: John Paul Heisler (St. Charles Borromeo Seminary), John O’Farrell &

Charles Pavlick (Mount St. Mary’s Seminary), and Rev. Mr. Nicholas Schierer

(The Pontifical North American College, Rome, Italy).

This month we highlight the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord, and the

Purification of the Blessed Mother, on February 2nd. May we give ourselves, our

work, and our sacrifices to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and present ourselves

before the most precious body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord who dwells

in our tabernacles – even as our Blessed Mother presented her infant Savior to

the Most High in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Vivat Jesus!

Joseph Thomas Baker

4 KNIGHT LIFE

THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD “(On this day), the feast of Candlemas, we recall the presentation of

Jesus in the temple. Forty days after His birth, Mary and Joseph went to

Jerusalem to offer Him to the Lord as prescribed by the law of Moses.

This is an episode that fits within the perspective of the People of

Israel’s special consecration to God.” - St. John Paul II

As devout Jews, Joseph and Mary followed the Mosaic Law. Leviticus

12: 2-8 prescribes the ritual a mother must follow after the birth of a child.

In particular, the male child must be circumcised on the 8th day, and after

waiting 33 more days for “purification,” she must bring a sacrifice to the

tabernacle door. A one year old lamb is the preferred sacrifice, but for

those of lesser means who could not afford the lamb, two turtle doves or

two young pigeons would suffice. We read in Luke 2: 21-39, all that

happened during the period of purification leading up to and at the

Presentation of Our Lord at the Temple in Jerusalem.

At the end of the fourth century, a woman named Etheria made a

pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Her journal, discovered in 1887, gives an

unprecedented glimpse of liturgical life there. Among the celebrations

she describes is the Epiphany, the observance of Christ’s birth, and the

gala procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40 days

later. This feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in the Temple more

than Mary’s purification.

The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the fifth

and sixth centuries. Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus’

birth on December 25, the Presentation was moved to February 2, 40

days after Christmas.

At the beginning of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a

candlelight procession; at the end of the same century the blessing and

distribution of candles which continues to this day became part of the

celebration, giving the feast its popular name: Candlemas.

POOL DECK EXPANSION APPROVED

The membership approved funding for an expansion to the

pool deck in response to a proposal put forth by the Board at the

Annual Meeting on January 4th. The pool deck expansion is in

the early planning stages and the Board provided conceptual

plans for two 12-foot wide additions, approximately 84-feet

long, to be added to the deck adjacent to the lap pool. The deck

will be built over the slope between the lap pool and the parking

lot. There was an extensive discussion, with the majority of

comments supporting the project and asking the Board to

consider authorizing an even larger expansion.

The proposal outlined a target range of $75,000 to $125,000

and was passed withanear unanimous vote, with one vote

against the proposal. Project planning will proceed with a site

survey, design development, development of the construction

plans, and submission for the required county permits. The

design development and construction timeline are not likely to

allow for the start and completion of the deck before this pool

season, but membership approval allows the deck’s planning to

proceed for competitive bidding construction in the fall.

Members will be updated as the planning proceeds; as a

reminder, all members are welcome to participate in the process

by attending Board meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each

month or the general Columbus Club meetings held following

the Council meeting on the first Thursday of each month.

LTC IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

There are many financial consultants and retirement

authorities who emphasize the need for a long-term care (LTC)

product for estate preservation and family protection. While

many commercial life insurance companies have gotten out of

the long-term care business, the Knights of Columbus

considers LTC a very important piece of the family protection

puzzle. The Order has been actively offering our members this

product for nearly 17 years without a premium increase on

current policyholders. Members who wisely purchased an LTC

plan from the Knights in 2000 are still paying the same

premiums today. Even better, our LTC coverage is backed by

the full strength of the Order, which remains rooted in our

strong Catholic values. Talk about stability when it counts.

If we have not spoken about your need for LTC coverage

in your family portfolio, please take some time out of your

schedule to meet with us.

Remember, long-term care policies are underwritten based

on your health, and you most likely will never be any healthier

than you are today.

LOOKING BACK ON NEW YEAR’S EVE - 2017, AND SOME “THANK YOU’S”

Frigid temperatures did not deter 180 revelers from

enjoying the good food, libations, a new band and

dancing at EDW’s 58th annual New Year’s Eve gala.

The purpose of this “that’s a wrap” article is to

express appreciation to those deserving of our thanks.

That said, “Thank You,” to both PGK Chris Bannon

and John Galcius; these two, due to their long

acquaintance with members of the band – “Diamond

Alley,” are responsible for booking that band for

EDW’s New Year’s Eve past, and likely immediate

future. The success of this past New Year’s Eve event

was also due primarily to our much-expanded

planning committee. Not only were Chris Bannon and

John Galcius on our planning committee, and retained

Diamond Alley, but John also volunteered to take full

responsibility for decorating the main hall. John

showed his hidden “master decorator” talents with his

patriotic Red, White & Blue themed decorations.

John was ably assisted by Chris Bannon. Thank you

again, John and Chris.

A new member of our New Year’s Eve planning

committee was Patrick O’Donnell. Patrick and his

wife, Suzannah made major contributions to our menu

by suggesting we try something new: a potato-leek

soup served table-side; their suggestions on side dishes

were also adopted. “Thank You,” Patrick and

Suzannah; we hope you’ll work on next year’s New

Year’s menu. Our expanded planning committee also

included PGK’s Kenny Goss, Art Gamotis and Vince

Long, who all provided input on this successful event.

A successful New Year’s Eve gala could not occur

without the full support and dedication of two sub-

groups within EDW: one being our Columbus Club

office staff: CC manager Peter Silano, Nick Beirne

and Rene Padilla. These gentlemen, particularly Rene,

handled walk-in and call-in reservations as well as

related details. Peter Silano purchased new insulated

pitchers to support the innovative “soup served at

tables” initiative. Thank You Peter, Nick, Rene, and

also Chef Maria and her kitchen crew for a great job.

Last, but far from least, another “Thank You” to the

contingent of EDW Redcoats led by PGK’s Long,

Gamotis, McTeague, and current GK Joe Baker, and

another dozen stalwart Redcoats who spent a good

part of New Year’s Eve serving a very appreciative

crowd. Thank You All!

A highlight of the evening is always the door-prize

drawing. The following 12 local-area restaurants (listed

in alphabetical order) have been contributing generous

gift certificates as door prizes for several years, and did

so again this year:

* Argia’s Italian Restaurant; Washington St., Falls

Church

* Bentley’s Restaurant, Arlington Blvd., Falls Church

* Clare & Don’s Beach Shack, Washington St., Falls

Church

* Dogwood Tavern, Broad St., Falls Church *

Ireland’s Four Courts, Wilson Blvd., Arlington *

Ireland’s Four Provinces, Broad St., Falls Church *

Joe’s Place Pizza & Pasta, Lee Hwy, Arlington

* Ledo’s Pizza, Pub, Restaurant, Leesburg Pike, Falls

Church

* Metro 29 Diner, Lee Hwy, Arlington

* Mylo’s Grill, Old Dominion Rd., McLean

* Outback Steak House, Arlington Blvd., Arlington

* The Locker Room, Broad St., Falls Church

Keep these “friends of EDW K of C” in mind when

dining out during 2018. Ask to speak with the owner/

manager, identify yourself as a member of EDW, and

thank them for their continued support. Pat and I have

eaten at all these restaurants (while collecting door

prizes); they’re ALL quite good! A belated Happy

New Year to All. ~ Bob Muschamp

THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING RESULTS

The Annual Meeting of the Board of the Columbus

Club of Arlington was held on January 4th in the Main

Hall. The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to give the

membership a chance to vote on a budget, elect board

members, and discuss any topics of need for the Club.

The meeting was to begin with the reading of the

minutes from the 2017 Annual Meeting, but a motion

was made to waive the reading of the minutes. The

Treasurer, Tom Maguire, read the budget narrative

included in the December Knight Life, providing

background on the financial performance of the Club in

2017, as well as a discussion of the budget for 2018.

Following questions regarding financial performance

and the budget, the budget was passed as proposed.

Grand Knight Joe Baker conducted the election for

new officers. There were five Board of Director positions

that expired and were up for re-election. All five Board

members who held terms that expired submitted their

names to run for election at the meeting – John O’Neill

III, Greg Strizek, Jerry Garren, Owen Beirne, and Brett

Smith. With five candidates for five open positions, a

motion was made from the floor to accept the nominees

by acclamation. The motion was seconded, and the five

nominees were elected.

The conduct of the meeting was returned to President

O’Neill. The Board made a proposal for membership

vote regarding an expansion of the pool deck and

requested approval for the project with a cost range of

$75,000-$125,000. Board member DelBuono read the

proposal to the membership, and Vice President Strizek

provided additional background on the project. There

was significant discussion, with much of the discussion

asking the Board to consider a more significant project.

The motion passed with near-unanimous approval; there

was one no vote.

DAILY PRAYER TO END ABORTION

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, and

for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know that there

is nothing that destroys more life than abortion. I am ready

to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself

never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful

of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life

movement, never to stop defending life, until all my

brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once

again becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for

some, but for all. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

There being no further business, the meeting was

closed with a prayer. The full 2018 Columbus Club of

Arlington Board of Directors consists of:

Appointed Directors:

Grand Knight Joe Baker

Deputy Grand Knight John Rovinski

Elected Directors:

Owen Beirne Jr. Bob Dannemiller

Ernest DelBuono Jerry Garren

Larry Harrison Tom Maguire

John O’Neill III Brett Smith

Greg Strizek Bill Wester

The officers for the 2018 Board of Directors will be

elected by the directors at the January 25th Board

Meeting. All Board meetings are held on the fourth

Tuesday of each month at 7 pm on the 2nd floor of the

Council Home and are open to the full membership. All

members are encouraged to attend.

EDW BLOOD DRIVE ON APRIL 15TH

Thank you to all of the donors who turned out for our

October Blood Drive and made it a success. With 33

donors, the number of lives that were saved or assisted by

our members and families is a true reflection of our

council’s commitment to life. EDW hosts 3-4 annual blood

drives, and our goal is to receive 80 or more donations. We

need to do a better job getting the word out at our parishes,

and we’ll do that. Once again, we’re trying to make it

convenient to regularly donate blood and save lives by

coordinating the drives with other EDW events, such as

Family Breakfasts. In addition to advertising in the Knight

Life and posting information around the campus, we’ll

publish the drives in our parish bulletins and station sign-

up tables following Masses at each parish prior to the

drives. You may schedule a donation on-line now by

pasting the following into your browser:
