The Tar Heel Knight

Community - August

Author: Nicholas Nastasi

Friday August 01, 2025

Greetings from the Crystal Coast!
It was a pleasure to see some of you at the CLT in Wilmington on July 19th.
As it was relayed to the councils at the CLT, your councils have the unique opportunity of helping out double the kids that you have helped in past years with the Coats for Kids program.
If you order your cases of coats through the State using the order form on the State website, you will be able to get a buy one get one free. If you order and pay for 5 cases, you will receive 10 cases. There is no mixing cases. So, if you order and pay for a case of Boys Child Coats (4-6), you will receive two cases of the Boys Child Coats (4-6) when you pick up your order.
This will be on a first come, first serve basis. Supreme does reserve the right to limit the number of cases available for the BOGO offer.
Using the order form on the State website, you will need to select where you would like to pick up your order. There will be 3 drop-off points for the entire state like last year. Pick up locations are as follows:
East – Fuquay-Varina Council 12119
Central – Greensboro Council 11101
West – Candler Council 15265
Thank you to those councils for stepping up.
I would suggest that districts and regions work together to coordinate a district or regional pick-up location so that the individual council don’t need to drive a long way to get their orders.
More information will follow as we go through this process.
Here is what your councils should be focusing on for the months of August, September and October.
August – Submit your Coats for Kids orders. Also, council soccer challenges should be taking place.
September – Deadline for Coats for Kids order is September 8th. The State order will be entered on September 15th.  Also, district/regional soccer challenges should be taking place.
October – Coats for Kids state order will be arriving and sent to drop off locations. State Soccer Challenge to be held at Fuquay-Varina, Council 12119 tentative set for October 4th. I will keep you posted.
We need a few Brother Knights to step up and help us with some chairman positions for some state programs.
If you know of any Brother Knight that is willing to step up and help out. Please contact me at community@kofcnc.org or at 910-526-5124.
Please check the State website for more information such as Featured program requirements for Community programs.
Thank you for allowing me to serve you and your councils this year.
Vivat Jesus!
Nick Nastasi
State Community Director
