MESSAGE
Dear Brother Knights and Friends,
The
Anchor Club is an order of Knights of Columbus members within the New York
City Police Department which began on April 22, 1922. One of the
keystones of the Knights of Columbus, as stated by its founder, Father
Michael J McGivney, was to set up an elementary system of insurance so
that the widows and children of fellow knights who might die would not
find themselves in dire financial straits. The Anchor Club similarly
provides a bedrock of charitable support for the widows and children of
all deceased members of our great police department, which is the mission
of our existence. Our charitable service is provided to the
widows and children regardless of race, creed, ethnicity or religious
affiliation.
The
Charity that our fraternity provides to the widows and children reveals
itself in the form of events, which are annually planned. The widows
and children are cordially invited to attend these events. Some of
the events that our agenda includes are but not limited to
-
Rockefeller
Center Ice Skating Outing
-
Rockefeller
Center Tree Lighting
-
Children's
Fishing Trip
-
Annual
Amusement Park Outing
-
Police
Department vs. Fire Department Hockey Game Outing
-

-

The
anchor is a symbol of strength and support. The Anchor Club, like an
anchor, provides a foundation of strength to the widows and children of
our fallen brother and sister officers. We proudly follow in the
long tradition of charity started by the knights of Columbus.
The
Anchor Club extends our sincere appreciation to Past President Kevin Lyons
for a job well done over the past two years. Great Job Kevin!!!!!!
