Grand Knight’s Message
Brother Knights,
It was good to see so many of you at the summer social. Not a whole lot is going on this past month as we are just starting out the year. Coming up next is the Church Carnival, followed by the Second Sunday Breakfast, and Coats Distributions.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at the carnival. If you have not signed up to work a shift yet, please contact Jeremy.
Vivat Jesus!

Auxiliary News
I enjoyed seeing many of you at the summer social in August, and missed those of you who could not make it.
Each year, the annual membership dues are due in September. If you have not already sent in your dues, please bring your money to the meeting. If you need a copy of the membership form, please e-mail me, and let me know.
Please consider helping at the St. Tim’s Annual Carnival on September 6th-7th. The Knights of Columbus are known for providing huge support for the carnival with their grill, and we could use more hands to help serve and prepare especially around lunch and dinner times.
Please reach out to me if you need any help signing up to volunteer.
Many prayers are being said for health and safety for all in the world.
Yours in Christ,
Elyssa Bliss, President

FS Notes
As of today, we have 13 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.
