The Retention Committee has developed a group of Knights that act as Mentor to incoming Knights, In addition to writing each new Knight a welcoming letter, each new Knight is personally contacted by his Mentor who then writes a short bio of the new Knight, as well as presenting them with a new Knights of Columbus t-shirt. Each Mentor is then tasked with keeping each new Knight updated about upcoming events. Currently the Mentors are: Bobby Zablan, Jorge Ruiz, Marc Evans, Allen Reitmeier and Efrain Ochoa. The Retention Committee is also tasked with selecting a Knight of the Month each month.
