Mid-Year Meeting Ladies Event

KC Midyear Meeting

December 6, 2025 – 10 a.m.

K of C Ladies—

Welcome to the 2025 Knights of Columbus Midyear Meeting. The State Officer wives are excited to welcome you to our special lady’s event. You play an important role in supporting your husband or special friend in his position as District Deputy or State Staff member. Your presence, encouragement, and friendship enrich our entire Knights of Columbus family. Please enjoy this time to meet new friends and reconnect with others.

We are blessed this year to host presenters Chris Heikkila, Rylie, and K9 Sgt Annie from The Spot Training Facility. Their organization provides no‑cost service animals to military personnel and first responders, offering life‑changing support to those who have sacrificed so much for our communities and our nation.

Their program focuses on specialized service‑dog training, building strong partnerships between dog and handler, and ensuring that each team receives the support and resources needed for long‑term success.

We will be accepting donations at the event to support their work. Cash donations are preferred.  They have numerous needs for training and agility equipment, along with providing each recipient a welcome kit costing $110. Thank you for considering a gift that will directly impact a hero and their service companion.

We will join the Knights for lunch at noon. Your afternoon will be free to relax, visit, or enjoy shopping at the Mall of America!

I look forward to seeing you at the Midyear Meeting and spending this special time together. Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely,

Loretta Gazley

Mother of State Deputy
