The dinner will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Gymnasium, 8650 N Shannon Road, Tucson, AZ, 85472 and is hosted by Roy Champeau Council 8077.
There will be a social hour at 5:30 pm and dinner will be served at 6:30 pm. All Priests are guests of the Knights of Columbus for this special dinner.
The dinner will be a steak with various side dishes, dessert and coffee. If you have any special dietary needs, please let us know so that we can accommodate those needs.

Don't Let Tax Scammers Get Away With It
Two Ways Tax
Scammers Might Target You
It’s that time of year — tax time. It’s also a great time
to get up to speed on tax-related scams. Here are two ways tax scammers might
target you:
Tax identity theft
This kind of identity theft
happens when someone files a fake tax return using your personal
information — like your Social Security number — to get a tax refund or a job.
You find out about it when you get a letter from the IRS saying:
·
more than one tax return was filed
in your name, or
·
IRS records show wages from an
employer you don’t know
If you get a
letter like this, contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490.
You can find more about tax identity theft at ftc.gov/taxidtheft and irs.gov/identitytheft.
IRS imposter scams
This time scammers aren’t pretending to be
you — they’re posing as the IRS. They call you up saying you owe taxes, and
threaten to arrest you if you don’t pay right away. They might know all or part
of your Social Security number, and they can rig caller ID to make it look like
the call is coming from Washington, DC – when it could be coming from anywhere.
Leaving you no time to think, they tell you to put the money on a prepaid debit
card and tell them the card number right away.
The
real IRS won’t
ask you to pay with prepaid debit cards or wire transfers, and won’t ask for a credit
card number over the phone. When the IRS contacts people about unpaid taxes,
they usually do it by mail.
If
you have a question about your taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040 or go to irs.gov. You can report IRS imposter scams to the
Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) online or at
800-366-4484, and to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.

PSD Mike Moeykens Submits Resignation as CO
Brothers,
Today, PSD Mike Moeykens submitted his resignation, effective immediately, as a Conferring Officer (CO) in the 3rd Degree Exemplification. He is suffering from some health issues. He feels it is for the good of the Order that he steps down from this role. He plans to continue to be an active Knight and support the team with coaching the current and future Co’s with their lines.
Brother Mike served in the Arizona jurisdiction for 22 years as a CO. He successfully conducted 111 - 3rd Degree Exemplifications during these 22 years. Prior to moving to Arizona, Mike served as the State Deputy of the great state of Vermont. Mike has been a true friend to me, to the state, and to the Order. He has offered me great advice and counsel throughout my years as a State Officer. I am proud and fortunate to know such a great man.
I spoke with Mike this afternoon. He is in good spirits and promises he will be active and we will see him often at various Knights of Columbus events.
I plan to make Mike the class honoree at the March 14, 2015 - 2nd and 3rd Degree Exemplification, in Vail, AZ. If his health allows, he will be attending this degree. All are welcome to say hello to Mike after the degree concludes that day.
Mike needs our prayers and best wishes.
Please feel free to share this message with your councils and assemblies.
Vivat Jesus!
Larry Becker
