Grand Knights Message

Brother’s,
The arches of the Hospitality Center will be undergoing some necessary repairs from September 14th through October 20th. Because of this construction, we will need to postpone our first Second Sunday breakfast. We’ll be sure to reach out with a new plan as soon as one is in place, and we appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Our new District Deputy, Don Trudeau, will be joining us at our next general meeting to perform an installation of officers for those who haven't yet received their jewels.

Also, don’t forget that our annual Pizza Social is next month! The whole family is invited, and the council covers the cost. Please call or text Al Loerzel so we can ensure there is plenty of food for everyone.

Al's contact is lecturer@kc5141.org

Vivat Jesus!

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.

Here is a reminder to send me your service hours as often as you would like. Many hours go by each day that we never hear about. Each day we all volunteer our time doing something above and beyond.

Membership Cards and Dues
It is not too late to send in your dues for this council year. As of today, there are 10 members who have not done so. Eventually you will be contacted by one of the trustees.

Please stand by for an important announcement from the Grand Knight

Safe Environment
The parish has asked us to provide regular training on Safe- Environment Guidelines for those that volunteer with us at Knights of Columbus events. Beginning this month, we will include these guidelines in the guidepost as an ongoing reference, outlining best practices for maintaining a safe and respectful environment. Please read the attachment at the end of the Guidepost to familiarize yourself with these guidelines.

Thank you! You may now return to your normal browsing of the Guidepost.
