NEXT MEETING: TUESDAY, Mar.12th at 7:00 p.m.
Officers @ 6:00pm
Grand Knight Report:
We are quickly approaching our two fish fry nights. We will be hosting bingo following each fish fry. We can use a lot of help at all events so please volunteer your time. Al Lingen is once again heading the fish business for us. Please offer your support.
Elections are not far down the road. I encourage all of you to consider running for a position or at least volunteering your services in one of the council directory spots. Please contact one of the officers if you have interest.
We have formed a charity committee to create a guide for charitable donations. It is sometimes difficult to determine what the council should offer anyone in need. Hopefully the committee will have some news for us by the next meeting.
Honorary Member:
Congratulations to James Murtha, who became an Honorary Member on January 28th. Jim joined the Knights on April 30, 1972, taking his 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees on the same day. Best wishes, Jim! We now have 42 Honorary Life Members and 17 Honorary Members.
Knowledge Contest:
We held our annual knowledge competition, the winners advanced to Ladysmith on Feb 23. Laura Jo Jarchow was gracious enough to once again distribute, tally and run the Knowledge Contest for us at St. Mary’s. What would we do without her help? Thank you, Laura Jo!
Fish Fry:
Please contact Al Lingen if you can help at the fish nights on
March 15 and March 22.

Keep them in your prayers:
Our brother, Matt Geist is battling stage three cancer, please keep him in your prayers. Matt is currently finished with initial treatments and waiting for the medicines to hopefully reduce the tumor he has. Please let me know if you know of any Brother Knights in need of our prayers.
