Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity Forms for 2024
The Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity - Individual Member Worksheet form conforms to the Faith in Action Program activities. Your 2024 hours must be reported under four program categories - Faith, Family, Community, and Life. If you reported community service hours for our Council's Discipleship Grant, you need to also report those hours in your 2024 Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity form. If your family members participated in an event with you, you can include their hours in with your report.
You can report your fraternal activity numbers for 2024 in one of two different formats:
a. Print the form and hand write in your hours and give it to our Council's Deputy Grand Knight, Bob Rasch; or
b. Open the pdf document and type in your hours into the form. The hours will automatically total in the Totals box on the bottom of the form. You can then print it or you can save it and attach it to an email and send it to our Deputy Grand Knight Bob Rasch on or before
Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
Enter your hours on the left side of the form – within the Council Hours column. Sum the hours manually or if you are completing the form electronically, the hours will automatically sum at the bottom. There is no place to enter your name. If you are completing it manually, please print your name on the bottom of the form. If you are completing it online, save the form and change the file name so that it contains your name, e.g., individual_survey1728a_p Tom Simpson.pdf. Send or provide your form to our Deputy Grand Knight Bob Rasch on or before
