Online membership was opened up to men in California in March of 2018. Men can find information about Online Membership through the Supreme website at:<\/p>\r\n

www.kofc.org\/joinus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

When the prospective member browses one of these pages, he may choose to become an Online Member. By completing the form on the website and by paying $30 for dues, he becomes an official Online Member of the Knights of Columbus. He will receive an Online Member traveling card and can attend Knights of Columbus meetings. He can shop around to visit local Councils to choose one that matches his needs. He does not have voting privileges when attending a meeting as an Online Member.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Part of his application includes listing his local parish. Once a man becomes an Online Member the State Online Membership Chair will send his information to the Council that serves (or is closest to) his parish.<\/p>\r\n

Financial Secretaries and Membership Directors, if a referral comes to you, please act on it right away and set the admission process in motion \u2014 then . . . FOLLOW-UP . . . FOLLOW-UP . . . FOLLOW-UP! Complete an Admissions Committee interview and, if accepted, ask him to join your Council.<\/p>\r\n

If he chooses to join your Council, he must attend an Admissions Degree and a Form 100 listing him as a TRANSFER should be sent to Supreme. Your Council will receive credit towards your membership goal as if you had recruited him, the pro-rated portion of the $30 membership fee that he paid, and credit for Insurance quota if he is an Insured Knight. The Financial Secretary will make arrangements to have him pay any additional dues beyond the $30 originally paid.<\/p>\r\n

This is a win for your council! You get credit for a new member (you may also get credit for Insurance if he has taken a policy) and he recruited himself!<\/p>\r\n
