6099 takes honors at State Convention

Holy Family Council 6099 left the Tennessee KofC Convention as one the most-decorated councils in the Volunteer State. GK Jason Randall, DGK Richard Buske, and FS Ron Schleifer were among the representatives who attended the convention where the council won a total of eight awards and honors. Council 6099 received the following:

  • Past State Deputy Award - For accomplishing at least eight ceremonial activities for the fraternal year
  • State Deputy Award - For completion of council administration requirements for the fraternal year
  • Membership Award - 4th highest membership total in the state
    MR Foundation, 3rd Place - For raising over $12,000 for programs that help people with mental disabilities
  • Chaplain's Award - For outstanding promotion of vocations and Eucharistic Adoration
  • Chase Wilson Award - For all-round outstanding council
  • Family Activity of the Year - For best family activity of the fraternal year, awarded for the Council's "Light Up for Christ" event in December
  • Bishops' Award - This is the most prestigious award given by the Tennessee State Council. The award was established to recognize councils that best promote awareness of membership, pro-life, church, family, youth, and work with the physically and mentally challenged. It is notable that there are a total of 82 KofC Councils in Tennessee, and only 7 councils received this award.

These awards are not possible without the participation of members like you! Thanks to everyone who helped make this fraternal year a big success!
