Grand Knight Report:

Our May meeting was highlighted with the election of officers for the 2013-2014 fraternal year. I will list them later in this letter. Turnout was good and the brats disappeared quickly.

We have a break now from Bingo action but our hall rentals are numerous with the Graduation parties. I will not be at our June meeting due to business travel. Our GK-elect will get the reins a month early. Please support him as you have
supported me over the past 2 years. Thank you once again.

Election of Officers:
We held our election of officers and they will be taking over July 1st. The new officers are as follows:
 Chaplain (appointed) – Fr. James Brinkman
 GK – Jeff Williams
 DGK – Tony Kilian
 Chancellor – Doug Mills
 Recorder – Troy Schmit
 Advocate- Al Lingen
 Warden – Mark Casey
 Inner Guard – Ed Zimmerman
 Outer Guard – Eric Becker
 Treasurer – Pat Becker
 Financial Secretary (appointed) – Pat Earley
 Lecturer (appointed) Jerry Frey
 Trustee 1 yr: John Jarchow
 Trustee 2 yrs: Vince Kaiser

Honorary Life Member:
Jerry Kimlinger became an Honorary Life member on May 7th. Jerry joined the council on March 11, 1980; taking his 2nd and 3rd degrees the following month. It didn't take Jerry long to become a very active member and leader of our council. Jerry has the unique distinction of serving 2 terms as Grand Knight.
 (1985-87, 88-89) Under his leadership, our council was well decorated with awards for membership, Complete Council, Star Council, and twice received the State Deputy's Cup as the #1 Council in the state. Congratulations Jerry and thank you for the tremendous contribution you've made to our council.

Scholarship Winners:
On Friday May 24th it was my extreme pleasure to present 3 $500 scholarships to our graduating Catholic youth. The winners are: Emily Bischoff, Adam Halonen and Tom Tenner. Please offer you congratulations to these individuals when you see them.

Squires:
Our Squires group is growing once again and the group is very eager to assist. We hope to have a highway clean up planned soon and assist with a cemetery project. We will need adult volunteers to help with the highway clean-up. Please attend the meeting for more information.

Cemetery Needs:
If any of you have been visiting our church cemetery you may have noticed that many of the stones are partially tipped due to sinking ground. We will be setting up a project to straighten them and will need your help. Please attend the meeting to offer suggestions and volunteer.

Keep them in your prayers: Brother Matt Geist – recovering from cancer surgery and treatment. Brother Randy Calleja – recovering from heart surgery.
Brother Jerry Lorentz – Cancer treatment Please let me know if you know of any Brother Knights in need of our prayers.

Bingo: On break for the summer, we will have Family Style Bingo for Funfest in July.
Birthday Party: John Flannery Ball is celebrating his 90th birthday at the KC
Hall on June 9th from 1-4 pm. Please join in the celebration. John received recognition at the State Convention for 70 years of service to the Knights and is currently our 2nd oldest member.

Food Drive: Ed Zimmerman can use some help on the 2nd Monday of the
month, 11:30 a.m. at WalMart – West end of the building.

Fourth Degree: For those of you who are considering the completion of your
journey to full knighthood, there is a fourth degree exemplification being planned for Marshfield in October. I checked the State Web Site but did not find it listed currently on the calendar. I have also heard rumors that Menomonie will be hosting an exemplification in Feb 2014.

First, Second & Third Degrees:
Our council is considering hosting a degree exemplification in the fall of this year. Can you think of a better place to advance your knighthood than right here? Please consider achieving the next levels of your journey.

State Golf Tourney: The State is holding its annual State Golf Tournament in
Fond du Lac on June 29-30. Registration must be in by June 13. Contact Jeff Williams if interested. 2nd Chance Drawing from State Raffle:
Due to IRS issues this may very well be the last year that there will be a second chance drawing on the state raffle tickets. The winners this year are: Chad Paulson, Steve Singerhouse, Bernie Mortensen and Jack/Frank Donahue.
