Please keep Our Worthy Grand Knight John Burkett in your prayers as he has a serious case of shingles and some other health issues. While he is taking care of himself, it is important that we as Brother Knights of "Our Council" continue to do the best we can. A number of Our Council's leaders are stepping up to take on some of the responsibilities of Our Worthy Grand Knight as he recovers and also ask that each Brother Knight assist whenever possible.

Since the majority of Our Council's Brother Knights do not attend either of our two monthly meetings, the Weekly Newsletter/Email appears to be our best means of communication. I would like to extend a big "THANK YOU" to all the Brother Knights that have stepped up to assist with the many projects we have done recently and over the past years. Those of you who have not taken the opportunity to assist for one reason or another, please consider doing so in the future. We are always in need of assistance, it relieves the stress of the event organizers, and it allows you and your Brother Knights time to get to know each other a little better.

Please take a look at the number of upcoming events over the next couple of months and volunteer to assist whenever possible. Other opportunities will also be available throughout next year. Thank you in advance for your assistance and support of the charities Your Council supports.

Fraternally yours,

SK Marty Gibula, PGK 

Father, please turn your gaze to those men and women

who in their military service have sacrificed

time, comfort, strength, ambition, health and prosperity 

for the peace and safety of family and friends

and others they have never even known.

Please reward them a hundredfold

for all their sacrifices and service.

Bless them far beyond their expectations.

Reward them richly for all they have given.

A heartfelt "THANK YOU" for all the freedoms

our veterans have preserved for us.

Our menu is planned, but we will need help throughout the day, from 7:30am - 8:00pm, with setup and take down of our area, as well as the cooking and serving. Please make an effort to come out for an hour or two to assist Our Brother Knights that organized this activity and raise funds for the charities we support. Reply to this email if you can help during any part of the day.

Please reply to this email if any of your contact information (email address, phone #, etc.) has changed or will be changing so we may update our records.  Thank you.
