Thank you to the Brother Knights that came out to assist with this month's BBQ Cook - from prep, to cook to sales.  We were very fortunate with the turnout.  Special thanks to Brother Raul Martinez for leading the cook.  Appreciate the assistance with our Recruiting efforts also as we continue to build the Domestic Church. 

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

The Special Olympics Regional Aquatics Competition is coming up next month, Saturday, September, 9th at the Don Cook Natatorium 16403 Lexington Blvd. Its next to Mercer Stadium and behind First Colony Mall. They would like us there at 7:45 AM and the day ends at 3:00 PM. In previous years, Council #14617 provided lunch for everyone and hopefully they will be able to do that again this year. I am sure that they would appreciate some help to cover the cost though. It's not much. We bring in multiple trays of chicken nuggets from Chick Fil a. 

We normally have 35 or 40 volunteers there and they need every one of us and could actually use some more help. Some folks stay all day but your adrenalin sort of runs out by 3:00 PM. It would be nice if some could come early and some could come later so all shifts are covered.

They are in particular need of certified life guards, so if you have kids or grandkids who can fill one of those slots let me know so they can be signed up at those specific needs. The rest of us don't need any training or certification, just the ability to smile and give out hundreds of High-fives!

Thanks,
Ron Frerich
District Deputy, District #76

SAVE THE DATE

The next 4th Degree Exemplification will be on Saturday, October 14th at St. Francis De Sales Church in Houston. If you know of anyone interested in joining the 4th Degree at this upcoming exemplification, we need to have their completed Form 4 as soon as possible so we can present their application for approval at our September meeting.  Sometimes a Brother Knight doesn't know much about the 4th Degree or just needs to be asked to join.  Make the effort to ask a 3rd Degree Brother Knight in your Council to join you in the 4th Degree.
