Grand Knight's Report
September is here already which means welcome to another exciting year with our council. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Don’t forget the Spaghetti Dinner on September 26. We also need volunteers for this event, so if you would like to help, contact Chairman John Regalado. Tell your friends and relatives not to cook that evening but instead come on out and enjoy a deeelicious spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings. Last but not least we are having a first degree at the September 13th council meeting. This is a good opportunity for all Brother Knights that we haven’t seen in a while to come and meet the new “Recruits” and to get re-acquainted with some old friends. Keep in Mind … “There’s Strength in Numbers” which means the more active members we have, the more of God’s work we can do in the area. Vivat Jesus Tom Forrest GK Officer's Meetings TOOTSIE We Need “FEET ON THE STREET” for this event to make it a success. So please volunteer for a couple hours or for the entire day. The choice is yours. The drive will start out at 6:30 AM and go until around 6:30 PM all three days Headquarters will be at Hann Funeral Home 8230 So. REMEMBER .. Friends and relatives can volunteer for this worthy cause. It’s not just limited to Brother Knights!! There are no age restrictions for volunteers, but those under 18 years old will be limited to store fronts (Jewel, Walgreen’s etc.) or church entrances due to During Masses at CORNER CAPTAINS Corner Captains service all canvassing locations to manage collections, maintain inventories and supply ice cold water to volunteers.
