COUNCIL STATEMENT<br />
Complete information on the council’s account with the<br />
<strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is contained in the statement that is sent<br />
during the first half <strong>of</strong> each month to the financial secretary<br />
<strong>of</strong> every council. The grand knight should examine this<br />
statement every month and should arrange with the financial<br />
secretary to make it available to him for this purpose.<br />
The statement will display at a glance whether the council<br />
is meeting its obligations to the <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Council</strong> or exposing<br />
itself to the risk <strong>of</strong> suspension for nonpayment <strong>of</strong> them.<br />
Each month the grand knight receives his own membership<br />
and financial statement (see at right). On it is shown the<br />
progress the council is making in its membership/insurance<br />
program. The financial statement section indicates the<br />
council’s financial standing in relation to the <strong>Supreme</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong>. On the bottom are instructions for reading the<br />
information provided. This financial statement is merely a<br />
condensed version <strong>of</strong> the monthly statement received by<br />
the financial secretary. It is intended to keep the grand<br />
knight advised in the event the financial secretary fails to<br />
make the regular monthly statement available.<br />
