Grand Knight’s Message
Brother Knights,
I am starting to notice the days getting shorter, and the leaves changing color. Which I suppose suggests we are getting our three annual days of autumn. I typically enjoy and look forward to the snowier months but find myself this year a little reluctant to end the season.
I would like to thank Dick, Donnie, and everyone else who helped out at our Pizza social, it was fun seeing everyone there.
At our next general meeting we will be having our steak fry. Please sign up with Dick if you have not yet and would like to attend.
We also have our second annual coat distribution set for October 13th from 9:00AM to noon. We will be distributing coats the following weekend as well on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to noon.
Our first second Sunday breakfast of the year is set to occur on October 13th. Ken Resler is chairing this first breakfast. Please reach out to him if you are willing to help volunteer.

Vivat Jesus!

FS Notes
As of today, we have 8 members who will be receiving or have received the Knight Alert notice. Soon phone calls will be made so please send in your dues as soon as you can. Questions contact me.

Have you moved, have you changed your phone number, have you made a change to your email address? Please keep the council updated when you have a change of address, change of phone number and finally a change to your email. It really helps us to keep track of where to send things to you. If you have any changes, please forward them onto the FS.

Please look at the back of your membership card. What do you see? It has my contact info. Please make sure your loved ones know this in case you are sick or have passed away.


Former Officers,
The FS is looking for Council Jewels that you may have in your possession. Please turn them in as soon as possible. Bring them to the office at St. Tim’s, we have a mail slot that they can be left in. Thank you.

Members in hospital etc.?
Please contact the FS so that the council can send a card out.

Do You Volunteer???
Each year our council files with Supreme a survey report with the amount of time our members spend outside of KC events volunteering.

The list is lengthy, do you help at church, do you deliver meals, do you visit the sick, homebound, do you help a neighbor, I am sure there are many more than that.

What I am asking, is for you to try and keep track of what event it is and how many hours you spend on that event each month.

On the 1st of every month to email me that list and I will include it in the report that I fill out each year. Please email me or call me and let me know. Thank you.
