Meeting tonight, March 6

Brother Knights,

A reminder of our meeting tomorrow night at 6:00 in the Wethington parish center.

As usual, lots to discuss:

  1. We hosted three great fish fries.  Great job everyone! In our meeting we will have an After Action Review to discuss what went well and where we would like to improve for next year.
  2. Lenten Mission with Father Wade Menezes March 17-20, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.  Let’s get the word out and let’s all be present for a greater understanding of the source and summit of our Catholic faith, the Eucharist.
  3. Distribution of our funds.  We have been blessed with many profitable ministries and now it is time to give back.
    1. Father has requested new microphones for the church.  Paul will have estimates.
    2. We need some heavy duty storage shelves and bins for our Knights supplies
    3. Funding for a seminarian, which we will sponsor all the way through seminary.
    4. Any other supplies we need for cooking.  We probably need to invest in a grill as I expect we will have some cookouts after some masses this summer (e.g., burgers, hot dogs, fries after an 11:00 AM Sunday mass or after a 5:30 PM Saturday vigil mass.  Also, Parish Picnic)  We need to be self-sufficient and nimble to put together some quick, easy cookouts for our parish.
    5. Still may need tables, furniture for our Knights room.
    6. If we can, we need to support the roof fund.
    7. Other items??
  4. Planning ahead for elections in June – it is time to rotate some responsibilities.  Current officers will mentor incoming officers.  Trustees will be talking to and nominating candidates.
  5. We have a seminarian to sponsor: Didier Buwani.  I will tell you a little about him and what his needs are as he goes through Seminary.
  6. We have two new candidates we need to vote on: Don Montgomery and Chris Farris
  7. Planning on touring Assurance this coming Saturday, which is the organization that supports expecting mothers.  John will coordinate the tour with Assurance.  Invite your wives and family to come also.  We will discuss the important pieces of the Pro-Life puzzle and how we can best support Life.
  8. Appreciation gathering for our Knights and all who helped with Trivia, Fish Fries, etc., etc.  I am thinking we can meet at Giovanni’s for Pizza, Spaghetti, and Salad.
  9. Plus, our continuation of Into the Breach, Family of the month, prayers for our church members and families, and singing!

God bless you all.

Vivat Jesus!

Dave

Plus, amazing results from Trivia Night, raising over $4000 for Safe Haven Baby Box, Family of the Month, and our monthly video from K of C: Healing in the Family.

Also, we will dedicate our Knights Room to Jerry Appleman, who was an outstanding Knight for our Council and a perfect example of Service, Charity, and Fraternity.  We will miss Brother Jerry: May he rest in peace!

PS: If some of you can come early, we need to straighten out and organize our room (missing table, pass out song books, etc.)

Hope to see everyone there!
