Brother Knights,

Our December business meeting will be next Wednesday, Dec 3rd at 7:30 p.m. in the Upper Room.   All Knights are encouraged to attend.   

Rosary at 7:00 p.m. in the Day Chapel preceding the meeting.  

Happy Thanksgiving,

Brother Knights,

Next Wednesday evening, Nov 19, is our Social Meeting and this month it's also a Family Night.   We have a special program lined up.    Please join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Upper Room.  

Fr. Josh Janko (a Fourth Degree Knight in our Council) will talk about his trip to World Youth Day in Australia earlier this year.    (He also made a trip to Europe later -- maybe he can share that one too!)

As always we will have snacks and refreshments (even cookies for the kids!).     Bring the whole family -- the whole parish is invited!  

When we have programs lined up like this we need a good turnout.    A special invite to our newest Knights -- this is a great time to come and get acquainted with some of your brother Knights.    

See you Wednesday night,

SK Mark Peterson

Brother Knights,

Here are some recent developments I want you to be aware of, for those of you not present at our business meeting last Wednesday.  

1) We approved the following charitable donations from our golf outing proceeds:

$1,000 to PrimeLife Enrichment - Emergency Assistance Fund (heating oil, etc.)

$1,000 The O'Connor House

$500 Great Lakes Project Gabriel

$500 Project Susan (W. Africa maternity house)

$1,200 The Lord's Pantry ($100 per month for meat purchase program)

$600 left, unallocated.   Will be determined later.   

2) Culture of Life Fund -- this fund was established at the Supreme convention in August and will be initially funded by a $3.00 assessment to the membership.   For our Council this will be approximately $570, a nonbudgeted item.   We cannot raise our dues in time for the December dues statements so we will suggest members voluntarily add $3.00 to their dues, if they choose.    Any deficit will be absorbed by the Council.   Members may also receive a personal solicitation from Supreme (some of us already have) but that is separate from the $3 per member Council assessment.  

Thanks and Peace,

SK Mark Peterson
