Grand Knight Report: I hope everyone had a happy Fun Fest. The float in the parade was a hit as always. The Star Prairie Parade is August 21st but I do not know if we are scheduled to be in it with the float. At the end of last month’s meeting the subject of a summer picnic was brought up. Come to the meeting and tell us what you think.
Please read through this newsletter and take note of all the Council Activities that are coming up and be ready to step up as a chairman or to lend a helping hand.
Officers please be early if possible as there are some items we need to discuss.
I appreciate those of you who have let me know your email address. With each new address, our cost to send out the monthly newsletter goes down – Thank You!
Youth Activities: Our annual Punt, Pass, and Kick, and Soccer challenge is coming up right around the corner. We will need a chairman to coordinate each of these events. If you are interested in helping or chairing either or both of these events, please contact our program coordinator Doug Mills.
Bingo: We had bingo at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening during Fun Fest for .25 a card. On Saturday we did not have enough players so the games were canceled. Our progressive jackpot bingo will be returning on September 11th.
