In March we held a meeting to consider dissolving the Ladies Auxiliary. The majority of the members voted to dissolve the organization. However, the Ladies Auxiliary is under Knights of Columbus Council 2917 and must follow council protocol. Before the Ladies Auxiliary dissolves, a resolution must be written and presented to the council. It must be printed in the newsletter and then voted on by the council membership. At the time the Ladies decided to have the vote, none of the officers were aware of these steps that needed to be taken. So according to protocol, the vote is null. The Ladies Auxiliary is an organization formed under the Knights of Columbus to allow the wives of our Brother Knights to be involved in our council and support our knights and council. The Ladies Auxiliary supplements the work of our KC council. They support the Knights in their fundraisers, in their charity programs, in their community service and in whatever help they need to make our council a successful council. The ladies also have the support of the knights in any special activities they may sponsor. After the March meeting some ladies decided they wanted to see the Ladies Auxiliary continue. So as long as there are ladies who are willing to support the Ladies Auxiliary, the organization will continue to exist. We are inviting all wives of our council Brother Knights to join the Auxiliary. In addition to the wives, we also invite the mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, cousins, daughters, etc. to join our organization. Any lady who is of 18 years or older and is related to a brother knight of Council 2917 is welcome. Ladies who were married to brother knights who passed away are also invited to join.
