ORDERING SUPPLIES PROPERLY
lt is the responsibility of the grand knight to instruct his officers,
directors and chairmen of the proper and efficient procedures
to be used when ordering supplies from the
Supreme Council office. Your financial secretary can also
lend some assistance in this matter as it is he who is ultimately
responsible for the ordering of any programming
materials.
Service Program directors should order materials for projects
or functions through the financial secretary. They
should not order materials for other directors. Such unauthorized,
although well-intentioned, actions work at crosspurposes
and inevitably result in the duplication of letters,
orders, efforts and shipments.
For example, if a membership recruitment program is
planned, the membership director or some definite
appointee of his may order the necessary folders, booklets,
forms, etc., through the financial secretary. No one else
should interfere unless it is specifically agreed that he is to
do so .
The Supreme Council office does distribute to councils
annually copies of the “Supply Catalog” (#1264), the
“Knights of Columbus Promotional Catalog” (#4230) and
the “Knights of Columbus Gift Catalog” (#1427) which contain
listings of the items available from the Supply
Department. Make these catalogs available to your directors
and committee chairmen; they contain a complete listing
of the Supreme Council’s Service Program materials
and promotional items.
All directors should be informed that every order should
bear the name, address, council number and location, and
title of the individual sending it. All orders to be charged to
the council’s account at the Supreme Council office must
