Congratulations and thanks to Doug Riginio and John Corbett our Knights of the Quarter for the 1st
and 2nd Quarter of 2009. Your support of our Council is greatly appreciated. During our June Social Meeting, we awarded the Charlie Coyne Scholarships to Nicole
Gardell and Andrew Cirella. Best of luck to you and all of the other 2009 graduates;
we wish you much success on your future endeavors.
I would like to thanks the members of our Council for electing me to my 2nd term as your Grand Knight
along with electing my fellow Officers. Each of us are looking forward to helping
our Council prosper and to further exemplify the goals and ideals set up by Fr. Michael J McGivney.
As we begin a new Columbian Year, our Council continues to offer many events for you and your families. Some of our upcoming events are the Annual Ducks Game, Fishing Trip and Council Picnic. This year we will be holding our picnic with our Brother Knights and families from our Lady of Grace Council.
While we continue to offer many events for you and your families to enjoy, we also need your help and support. There are many ways that you can support your Council.
Take part in any of the many events and dances that we offer throughout the year.
Join us on a 5th Sunday for Mass and Breakfast at the Council. Bingo
is one of the many ways we raise funds to help support our building and to make charitable contributions. We could use your help on a Wednesday morning or a Thursday evening.
Make the commitment to help us even if it is only one week a month for a few hours.
That’s not too much for us to ask. Your help enables us to live
and to practice the principles of our order. We have taken the first step and
asked for your support of our Council, it’s now up to you to step up and take action.
I also need your help as we help the OLPH St. Vincent DePaul Society as they move to a new location. We have been asked to help them paint their new space. Several
of my Brother Knights have stepped up and offered their assistance, but I need the help from more of you. So if you are interested, please contact me via email at mhearney@optonline.net or you can call me directly.
