April 2019 E-Prospect Card and Online Membership / Delta Church Drive Concept / Member Mission Results / Incentives Brother Knights, I hope councils are submitting for their Prospect Landing pages through the Online Membership platform. Supreme will build a custom Prospect Landing Page for your council that you can use on a phone, a tablet or a computer. This prospecting system gives councils the means to implement E-Prospect Cards, which can be used at all Faith in Action program events and at your Church drives in March/April. To request your Prospect Landing Page from Supreme go to this link: http://info.kofc.org/pagerequest.html. The screen shot below is what you will be directed to: 
Once you submit, the page request form automatically sends your Membership Team an email with all the information they need to create the program. In 2-4 days, the council receives a custom URL, available on any device, and the Lead Generation Program is ready to use. Please review the Prospecting Page FAQs sheet included in this bulletin. Continue to promote Online Membership as a key component in your recruitment efforts this year. Please review Membership Action Items for the month of April and the last nine months, and ensure your plans are consistent with the State Membership Action Plan. The State Membership Action Plan can be found at the following link: http://www.kofc-wa.org/FrontPageContent/Membership/WSCMembershipActionPlan.pdf. Use the plan as the foundation for the council plan. It will make your planning easier and it will create synergy (Unity) throughout the Washington State Council. Key items for a Church Drive: Order a Church Drive Kit from Supreme through Supplies Online. The Church Recruitment Drive Kit provides a council with the forms and brochures needed to recruit new members. A council only needs one kit to hold a Church Drive at their parish. The kit itself is free. You can order the kit in English, French or Spanish.
Each kit includes the following items:
#100, Membership Documents - 25 each
#921A, Prospect Cards - 200 each
#2773, Member Benefit Flyers - 100 each

Attend training arranged by your District Deputy on the Delta Church Drive. This concept does not call for a lot of brochures. New kits are available from Supreme. Join Online instructions should be available. Have several council members on hand during the drive weekend who have been assigned specific tasks: Information Table Captains in front of the table to provide detailed information/assistance as needed (4 per table) Vestibule Ambassadors to greet parishioners before/after Mass, present a simple gift on behalf of the council (prayer card, council newsletter, brochure #10100), thank them for their support and extend an invitation to join while directing attention to the information table for more information (4-5 per vestibule) Pulpit Orator (if allowed by Pastor) to give a quick overview of the Knights and direct attention to Knights in the vestibules after Mass – Pastor may be willing to do this at the end of Mass (1 per Mass) Guy in Charge - Grand Knight/Membership Director to coordinate and oversee the drive Please review the Member Mission results through March 19, 2019, in this bulletin. Due to our membership intake in the first six months, we need to bring in close to 90 new members per month across the state to catch up and meet our jurisdiction’s intake goal of 825 for the fraternal year. If half of the jurisdiction’s councils recruit two new members each month, we will easily meet our membership goal. Let’s step it up in the second half of the fraternal year!
