Council 7445 Installation/Awards Banquet- UPDATE Thanks
to all the Brother Knights who attended the installation Banquet last
Friday, 7/29. Your presence made the event. Also thanks to
DD Tom Stavinoha for acting as Installing Officer, without him it would
have been a non-event. Following is a listing of the Knights receiving Quarterly Knight Awards: 3Q2015 - Greg Nemec & Don Hoeveler 4Q2015 - Mark Stryk & Raul DeLeon 1Q2016 - Chris Haskins & David Hobson 3Q2016 - Kevin Eaves, Larry Stryk, & Marty Gibula Council Knight of the Year - Arthur Hausler Council Family of the Year - Susan & Karl Hennings and Fr Cliff Hennings Deciding who to select for each of the above positions is always a difficult task that causes some sleepless nights and waking in a cold sweat thinking that I have left out someone. As far as I am concerned, each and everyone in participates in any of our fundraisers or supports a project is a Knight of the Month/Quarter/Year. Thank you all for your support the last 2 years. Please continue your support for GK David Hobson and the slate of Officers. PGK Howard Harbes |

A Request from State/Chapter This
past weekend, at the State Organizational Meetings, the State Charity
Board of Directors got together and voted to provide a $1000.00 grant to
each of the families of the 5 fallen Dallas officers and the 7 that
were wounded. The checks should be in the hands of the officer's
families by tomorrow afternoon. The money came out of the State
Charities' Contingency Fund. We have been asked to re-fill this
contingency fund no later than July 31st.
Additionally, the State Charities Committee stated that any funds
that they receive in excess of the restocking of the contingency fund
would be divided up evenly and also sent to the families of the 12
fallen Dallas officers. Brother Knights, I was in Dallas all
weekend and that city is hurting and the families are really
hurting. After the State Charities board voted to send the checks
out to the Dallas families, a roar went up from the crowd. The
entire contingent of State officers and Committee men and all of the
other brother Knights from around the great State of Texas were on board
with this decision. Please discuss this with your Councils and
see what you can do out of Council funds and also see what you can do
regarding donations from the members directly. Have all monies
that you collect from the Council and from the members, combined into
one check from the Council and have the FS send it in to Texas State
Charities. Be absolutely positive that you make the check out to
"Texas State Charities" and not the Texas State Council. I would
also put a note on the memo line that it is for the "Contingency
Fund". By doing that, the money you expect to go to the Dallas
Police Officer's families will actually get into their hands.
State Charities will have any excess funds that they collect from us,
into the hands of the families of the fallen officers just days after
the July 31st deadline. Name me one other Charity that is this quick to help out!Ron Frerich District Deputy District 76 FYI - Intent is to pass the hat at the July 26th Business meeting to get funds as requested above. The council voted to support $250 from Council funds for this program UPDATE
- TIME HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO AUG 15th. For members who are not able to
attend meetings. Please send a donation to either address
below and we will add to the amount the council voted to donate ($250)
and the "pass the hat" donation (about $171) collected
from members in attendance at the July 26th Business meeting.
Thanks for your support to the Council and our Police Officers who
protect and serve - at the risk of their life. |
