A big Thank You to Dave Franks for organizing the November Communion Breakfast. It was well attended and we had a great meal at the Queen’s. Thanks also to those who volunteered at the Mass at Immac’s.

Physician Assisted Death
John Price brought an issue to our attention regarding Physician Assisted Death, where not only is it possibly coming to our province, but also that the possibility of abuse if very real. To that end, there is a noted speaker from London who is willing to come to Stratford to speak on the dangers this situation brings.
For our part, Assembly 1866 will join with the Council to pay the costs of bringing this speaker in at a future date. Once the date has been confirmed I urge all members to try to attend.

Faithful Navigator’s Message
Brothers,
The next two months are going to be busy months for us. We have Remembrance Day ceremonies to perform, Christmas Hams to be sold, Communion Breakfast, and the Christmas Party. So there’s lots of opportunities to get involved and help out your Brother Knights.
As we mentioned during the last meeting, we are looking for local sponsors to donate prizes for our Christmas dinner. If you know of anyone who runs a local business please get out there and as if they’d be willing to donate a small prize, typically in the $25 range. The more sponsors we get, the better our party will be and hopefully the more funds we can raise.
And don’t forget we have our annual Christmas Hams project running again. The great news is that will get our hams at the same cost as last year, despite all of the inflation you saw at the groceries stores this year. So this is a great deal for your customers!
Vivat,
SK Jeff Smith

Faithful Navigator’s Message
Brothers,
It was good to see such a large crowd at our September dinner meeting. I hope that we can see even more people out for our October dinner on the 26th.
This month brings us our annual Thanksgiving Day holiday. I hope that everyone has a chance to see their family and friends and to give thanks for all of the blessings we receive. We’re very lucky to live in a land of such abundance. Take a moment this month to remember those less fortunate. Know that you belong to an organization that dedicates itself to helping those in need, all year long. Be proud of the work you do with the Knights.
Vivat,
SK Jeff Smith

Brothers,
After a busy month of May, we look forward to a nice relaxing summer.
This month’s bulletin is a long one, but there’s one big issue that I want everyone to give some thought to. It seems that our “Phone Captains” system needs to be updated. Attendance to recent events has been low so we want to make sure that everyone is in fact being notified of upcoming events in a timely manner. To that end our phone captains and myself are looking at the lists and trying to find out where people are going missing. If you have not heard from your phone captain in a while, please let me know. If you prefer to be notified by email, then send me your email address.
My own email address is rjeffsmith@live.ca. My Stratford phone number is 226-786-0151. If you can’t get me on the Stratford number then my cell number is 226-789-1899.
Vivat,
SK Jeff Smith
