Dear Friend,

           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.

            Today our sole function is to provide for the widows and children of deceased Police Officers both line of duty and natural causes. We provide the venue for their gatherings at our annual events through out the year. The following is a partial list of our functions:

            Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a Knight or volunteering at any of our events.  Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at St. Anne’s Council (263 St & Union Tpk.)

Sincerely,

Frank Giordano
President
