Grand Knight Report:
There will not be a council picnic this year. On the other hand we will be having a Columbus Day Dinner in the month of October for a change, more about this later.
We started off the meeting with a first degree ceremony, we had one new candidate. We have a large number of knights who have not attained the 3rd Degree on their journey to full knighthood. I would like all officers to be present at 6 pm as we have a full agenda of topics.
It’s a Girl:
Congratulations to Brother Patrick J Becker and his wife, Sarah, on the birth of their daughter, Lilly Martina, on Sep 20. The proud grandparents are Brother Patrick D. Becker and his wife, Lou Ann. Let’s not forget the proud uncles, Brothers Eric Becker and Kristofer Wallace (Jami).
1st, 2nd and 3rd Degree Exemplification:
Our brothers in Hudson, Council 1762, are hosting all three degrees on Saturday, October 27. It would be a great time to advance your knighthood. Please contact Pat Earley, if interested.
Diocesan Meeting:
We held the southern portion of the Superior Diocesan Meeting on Sep 16 at our hall. Totally there were approximately 50 people in attendance. I believe we made a few dollars on our hosting of this event. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to host this event again next year.
First Degree Exemplification:
Please join me in welcoming Jake Skramstad as a new Brother Knight.
Fourth Degree Exemplification:
There will be a 4th Degree exemplification on Saturday, Oct 27 in Wisconsin Rapids. Contact Jerry Frey 715-246-4585.
