Knights of Columbus

Operation Rescue

North Carolina

Purpose:

The primary purpose of this program is to stay in touch with the Councils membership that does not actively come to meetings and events.

Results and benefits expected:

· Improved Retention (Fraternity)

· Early alert when a member has a problem (sick or other)

· Early alert if a member has relocated

· Members to get to know non active brothers

· Eliminate embarrassing surprises.

The Process:

· Take attendance at meetings to identify the non active

Brothers.

· Assign each of the active brothers a small group of the

inactive brothers to contact quarterly.

· The contact is to be very friendly. (How are you

doing? Have not seen you lately. Is every thing ok?)

and similar.

· Very non confrontational. Just let the brother know

that they are being thought of.

· Confidentially advise the Grand Knight of any issues

that arise during the contact that could require action.

· Grand Knight initiates the appropriate action
