24/7 Membership Recruitment
John Leal, Coordinator
We encourage and facilitate all councils to have active membership recruitment activities called 24/7 Recruitment.
Councils need to focus first and foremost on Christ and weaving our faith throughout everything we do. By doing this, we infuse our councils with the Holy Spirit and make them attractive to prospects and more rewarding to members. We then focus on making recruiting part of every activity. We hand out flyers during and have Exemplifications right after our Easter Egg hunt. We recruit at breakfasts and Fish Frys. We recruit 24/7.
It is in the performance of activities in the parish that men are attracted to the Knights. Strong, healthy, vibrant councils have no problems recruiting. Men naturally are drawn to want to belong to a group of Catholic men like that. We continually invite them to do so.
All councils must have an appointed Membership Director. This director coordinates frequent membership drives to provide the opportunity to harvest the crop the council has sown. This provides candidates for the Exemplifications held each month in each district.
