Grand Knight’s Message
As I am writing this article, the city of New Orleans is starting to dry out and people are starting to move back. Keep the victims of hurricane Katrina in your prayers and thoughts as we work and live our daily lives.
Since the last membership meeting we had our family night at the dome, which was really successful. Thanks to last minute add ons, forty one people enjoyed a great game with the Twins winning 1-0. The only Twins hit was the homerun that won the game. The game lasted 2 hours and 8 minutes, which meant everyone got home around 10:30.
In September, the St. Tim’s Carnival was quite successful. Income was down 5% from last year due to the hot weekend and a windy Saturday. I would like to thank everyone who worked especially Al Loerzel, Vern Shereck and Leland Karels who were in charge of a shift.
The KC men’s fishing trip had a small turnout due to conflicts in members’ schedules. Despite this, Steve Silverdahl did a great job in organizing the trip. Sounds like everyone had a great time.
Going into October, the Marathon for Non- Public Education and the 2 nd Sunday breakfast will be starting. We will also be having the social activity of the month which will be the fall steak fry. Let’s support some of these activities. See separate articles on these activities. Have a good October.
