FS Notes
Have you moved, have you changed your phone number, have you made a change to your email address? Please keep the council updated when you have a change of address, change of phone number and finally a change to your email. It really helps us to keep track of where to send things to you. If you have any changes, please forward them onto the FS.

Please look at the back of your membership card. What do you see? It has my contact info. Please make sure your loved ones know this in case you are sick or have passed away.

Former Officers,
The FS is looking for Council Jewels that you may have in your possession. Please turn them in as soon as possible. Bring them to the office at St. Tim’s, we have a mail slot that they can be left in. Thank you.

Members in hospital etc.?
Please contact the FS so that the council can send a card.

Fundraising Letter and Raffle Tickets
I want to thank all of you that sent in your purchased raffle tickets and for those that donated to our other causes. None of our success would be possible without generous donors like you.
We sold 290 raffle tickets this year for $1,450. Reminder half of that money does come back to the council. When we add in the donations to the other things our total comes out to $2,910. Again, thank you.

Do You Volunteer???
Each year our council files with Supreme a survey report with the amount of time our members spend outside of KC events volunteering.

The list is lengthy, do you help at church, do you deliver meals, do you visit the sick, homebound, do you help a neighbor, I am sure there are many more than that.

What I am asking, is for you to try and keep track of what event it is and how many hours you spend on that event each month.

On the 1st of every month to email me that list and I will include it in the report that I fill out each year. Please email me at fs@kc5141.org. If you don’t have the ability to email me, please call me to share that information. Thank you.

National Eucharistic Revival
Departing from the headwaters of the Mississippi, the northern arm of the Pilgrimage will descend through the Midwestern United States, pass through Wisconsin and Illinois, and meet up with the other three Pilgrimage routes in Indianapolis at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress. This route may be the shortest in distance, but it has no shortage of opportunities for encounter with Christ! Pilgrims will attend Mass every day of their journey, along with regular evenings of reflection and adoration. As they travel, pilgrims will grow closer to Our Lord through service to local communities, inviting the most marginalized among us to be revived by the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. Will you join us on this historic journey?
