As we proceed through our membership BLITZ on a positive note and we see that our expectations are not what we thought they were going to be we began to wonder what to do next. How can we make STAR council without new members? We all strive to bring new members into our Council’s and try to attain our Council goals. It takes a tremendous amount of planning and execution to attain those goals. Do you remember the planning phase of recruitment? The first and perhaps the most important step in setting up a successful membership program are organizing your membership committee. Try to utilize Knights in your Council that are DEDICATED and ENTHUSIASTIC. RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES for the perspective candidate: Today’s young man faces many commitments. From his duties to his family to his obligation to his work place, there are constant calls on his time. How many times have your council’s recruiters heard the reply: “I don’t have much time to give to the Knights, so why should I join?” It’s a common concern among many prospects that they just don’t have the time to be a part of the Knights of Columbus.

Imagine if you were able to tell a man that if he could only give 24 hour a year to the Knights of Columbus he could make a positive difference in his community and church. The giving of 24 hours a year could be accomplished by several different activities within your community, church and council. Activities such as being ushers/greeters, Eucharistic ministers, lectors and praying at Sunday or daily mass for family, peace, and Brother Knights. When you present the time commitment of joining the Knights of Columbus to a man in this way, it doesn’t seem very intimidating at all. Once a man becomes a member and sees how rewarding being part of the Knights of Columbus is, he’ll want to dedicate more of his time to the Order
