Dear Brother Knights
I am sure everyone has noticed that the daylight in getting shorter. With this comes start of school and our fraternal year gets into full swing. I urge you to become involved in our council activities. If you can no longer help out with fundraising activities you can still be involved by attending council meetings or coming out to other events like our Thursday morning breakfasts. Those who do attend enjoy the comradery.
Our walk -a- thon that was held on June 13th was again successful. We will be presenting a cheque to St. Joseph’s Restoration fund in the amount of $ 10, 887.89. Brothers we are getting close to our $50,000 pledge, less than $ 5000.00 to go.
A decision has been made to discontinue our Share the Wealth monthly draw fundraiser. The main reason is profits have dwindled to the point that we may not sell sufficient tickets to cover the expense of the fundraiser. That being said it will be $2,500 which is not available to give out to our local charities. I urge you to come up with ideas to replace this revenue.
There are two events coming up in September.
On Thursday September 10th there will be a Corn Roast & Hot Dogs at our hall. This is a night of fellowship put on by the Shriners. Last year’s event was well attended.
Our annual St. Anthony’s Mass that the Knight’s provide refreshments following the mass, will be held sunshine or rain on Sunday September 13th. If you have not been to this mission church I urge you to attend.
