Quarterly Newsletter
October 2010

 

Grand Knights Report – Greetings and welcome to our quarterly newsletter.  With the cost of postage increasing the council has decided to change our newsletter from a monthly mail out to a quarterly email with copies being placed at the church and parish center for those who do not have email.  If you have an email address and we do not have it on file let us know and we will add you to our list. 

 

Last quarter you received a letter explaining the Room at the Inn project being conducted by the Knights of Columbus in NC.  I want to thank everyone to made a donation in our council’s name.

 

SK Roger Shepard has assumed the duties of Council LAMB Director. I am still looking for a Council Director.  If you are interested please call me. I am also looking for a Warden for the 1st Degree Team.

 

The Program Directors have a lot planned for this coming year and need your help in making this our best year ever. We may not have seen you in a while and a lot of things have happened in that time. I would ask you to make time to come to one of our future business meetings and bring your family and join us at a monthly social. At some point in time you were an active member why not come back and join our team.

 

If you have not visited our council web site you should.  We keep it up-to-date and have a calendar of events to keep you informed.  www.kofc6700.com.  I have also posted the 2010-2011 Annual Schedule.

 

Remember the Rosary on the 1st and 3rd Saturday before the 5 PM mass. It is a Knights function so come and join us.

 

LAMB – Our new LAMB Director is working on the 2011 schedule. If you are interested in serving as a Store Captain please let Roger know.

 

Church Committee Report – We continue to lead the Rosary 1st & 3rd Saturdays. 

 

Council Committee Report – We have scheduled another dance at the gym to be held on January 22, 2011.  It will be open to all, NO BEER sales for this even. Come out and have a good time.  We had another successful Annual Golf Tournament thanks to SK Gar Elkin. If you missed the event this year plan on playing next year.  We sold around 80 Boston Butts this year.

 

Community Committee Report – We have the annual Christmas hayride coming up in December.  We are working on the date and will post it soon.
