Grand Knight Report:
A reminder: our meeting this month will start with our annual Eulogy Mass.
Welcome to our newest member; Bob Slater. He is transferring in from the Bloomington, MN council. Troy Schmit contacted the public schools and I contacted St. Mary school and they responded that they don’t need any coats for kids. We will not be ordering any coats.
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.
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!
Sentiments for Seminarians: November is the month we collect items for our Seminarians. So please bring any items for our seminarians to the meeting.
Youth Activities: Right to Life Essay contest should be almost complete. Christmas poster contest will be starting soon. If you are interested in helping or chairing upcoming events (like the free throw competition), please contact our program coordinator Doug Mills.
Bingo: Here are the dates for KC Bingo for the month of November: 11/06, 11/13, 11/20, 11/25 (last Friday), and 11/27. If everyone on the list were to sign up for just one of these dates for the month we would have the month covered. How amazing is that?? What a better way to contribute to help our council raise money for the many causes that we support and its easy work
You can contact Doug Mills with the dates that you are able to help with the games. doug@nr-ins.com 715-246-6988
Food Drive: Ed Zimmerman can always use help on the 2nd Monday of each month, 11:30 a.m. at Wal-Mart (southwest end of the building) to help load food and deliver it to the food shelf.
5th Sunday: Thanks to all who helped October 30th. The next one will be January 29th.
Insurance: If you have any questions about Knights of Columbus Insurance, please contact our field agent! Shawn.Fox@kofc.org 651-324-1209
Keep them in your prayers: Brother Knights Terry Donahue and Pat Cernohous.
Tabled Motion: We have tabled motions from our October meeting that have to be published before they can be voted on. One motion was to do donate $1600.00 to St. Mary School for 4 i-pads. We also discussed donating $500.00 more to each of the four tootsie roll monies recipients. These items will cost around $2,000.00. It will be discussed and voted on at the November meeting.
The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign: Bell Ringers -
