Photos Needed
Brothers,
Part of any consideration for recognition by the State is the fact that we have a website and a photo album. However, of late unless I have attended an event I am not getting any photos to keep our On Line Photo Album current.
I would appreciate some photos I can use with a simple explanation as to who took the photos, where and when.
Your assistance will be gratefully appreciated.

Potpourri from the Grand Knight:
June 2008
Dale Saunders
Hard to believe I am preparing a June newsletter message that has me wondering where this fraternal year has gone. Looking back, our KC year has been busy, productive and I hope as rewarding for each of you as it was for me.
We started off with Special Olympics that rewarded us probably more than the participants. We developed and took ownership of a new fund raiser with our Lenten Fish Fry, that let us know we truly have the capability to pull together such a major undertaking (under less than ideal circumstances) and let us lay the
foundation for another profitable revenue stream for the future. In short we provided a parish event that could not only make money but also provide a major sense of church community.
Christmas Tree sales bounced back to historical profit levels thanks to the energy and dedication of the chairman/committee, the new location and the sensational dedication from the council that involved some 80+ different volunteers in multiple roles while the project was underway. We didn’t whine about past events, we simply moved forward and did the best we could with things we could control in the ‘right now’, and it worked!
We attended to membership needs from recruitment, activation and retention as well as advancement. We improved our First Degree Team Exemplifications. Our Youth, Family, Church, Community and Council programming areas were all up and running strong. We had actual chairmen and committees for all major events, and the council, parish and local community knew we were “out and about” and certainly involved!
Ditto for the KC district brothers, our charitable and fraternal efforts have not gone without notice!
In June we will conclude our year with another sizeable contribution to the Parish building fund/deficit and we can take pride that our activities and organizational structure give us this ability.
Brothers who attended the KC planning processes throughout the year certainly added to our success and made my job easier. Anyone experiencing the dedication and enthusiasm brought to our meetings by the membership would have to be a zombie not to feed off the energy level we have had present. I know from experience at District and other visitations this year that all councils have not been as supportive to either the council leadership or the programming as you have been here. I am both grateful and honored to have been your Grand Knight and look forward to next year as well, assuming the mood of the council supports another year following the election process in June.
Advance planning in June includes First Friday Rosary 6/06/08 which has to start earlier at 6:45 PM to accommodate a special program for Fr Page in the church starting at 7:30PM. Council election will be held at our business meeting 6/3/08. Officer’s Installation to be held on Saturday, June 28 following the 4:30PM Mass, with a themed Mexican Fiesta dinner in the Community room immediately following installation.
Please plan now to attend! Thanks for a wonderful year of fraternal service and assistance! Please stay
involved.
Peace and God Bless,
