- Share how your K of C membership helps you and your family to live out your faith, help the community and be closer with each other.
- Connect that man with real programs and opportunities in your council that match his interests. Then, sign him up for membership using a Membership Document (#100) or by visiting kofc.org/joinus and using the Online Membership application.
