Council 760 Exemplification of New Members. On Saturday evening, January 21st, Knights of Columbus Council 760 inducted five new members.  Congratulations are extended to:

• Brock Aday
• Rick Coomes
• Brenden Doherty
• Kyle Huser
• Koby Spielbusch

The Exemplification Ceremony was held in the closed east room of St. Francis Parish Hall.  During the Exemplification each of the candidates were given a rosary, a Knights of Columbus pin and a cross.  They left the room being among the newest members of Father Michael J. McGivney's world-wide mutual benefit organization. [1]

Following the Exemplification, our council hosted a social for new, existing Knights and their families in the west dining room.  The social included a delicious pulled-pork dinner with trimmings, beverages and deserts.  In addition to congratulating our new Knights, we want to thank several existing or past Kansas state and district officials who attended and supported the membership effort:

• Russell Bunnel - Southeast Kansas Membership Chairman
• Jim Carlson - Past District Deputy #15
• Bernard Collins - District Deputy #15
• Ed Miller - State Advocate, Membership Director
• George Miller - Past State Deputy
• John Schibi - Assistant General Agent, Pierce KofC Insurance Agent

​We also want to extend special thanks to Keith and Elaine Van Leeuwen for preparing and serving a delicious dinner, our team of members who helped with the Exemplification and social, and the small army of young girls who worked hard to distribute left-over deserts to nearly everyone in the building!​
