“And then they will see ‘The Son <strong>of</strong> Man coming in<br />
the clouds’ with great power and glory…”<br />
(Mark 13:26)<br />
Some people think that we should give until it hurts.<br />
However, true stewards give until it feels right. Our<br />
giving feels right when we know that we can stand<br />
before God when He comes in His glory and say to<br />
Him, “Lord, I gave all that You asked me to give.”<br />

2011-<strong>2012</strong> for the unprecedented second<br />
consecutive year. The organization’s headquarters<br />
in Connecticut made the announcement. The<br />
award recognizes overall excellence in membership<br />
recruitment, retention, and sponsorship <strong>of</strong> serviceoriented<br />
activities. Less than 1% <strong>of</strong> the Councils<br />
have received this award and extremely few earn<br />
the distinction <strong>of</strong> consecutive awards. The award<br />
was presented at a special ceremony held on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 6, <strong>2012</strong>. “Receiving the Double Star<br />
Council Award is quite an honor for us. We’re<br />
extremely proud <strong>of</strong> this accomplishment,”<br />
proclaimed Ken Kohlberg, head <strong>of</strong> St. <strong>Clare</strong> Council<br />
and past membership chairman, Jim Swieca.<br />
