It went by so fast!! It has been a busy Summer, with all the events we had this year. We have a very active Council. Thank you to the entire active membership that helped make this Summer so great. September is here and there are some things I have to have help with to make things happen. PGK Pete Erickson told the Council he is giving up the Bingo Chairman at the end of September. Thanks Pete for being there for me and the Council. I need a brother Knight to help with the Bingo paper work on Monday night. There’s going to be times I can’t be there on Monday night, so if I had a person to fill in for the nights I can’t be there, it would really help me out. We have a lot of brothers showing up to work bingo and it’s always the same brothers every week. If you can, please help out so some brothers can have a break from all the work they do. We had a vote to change the Corporate Communion from Aug 31st to September 7th because it fell on Labor Day weekend and there are a lot of members who are going to be out of town. So the Corporate Communion will be at St. Francis, 10 AM Mass, September 7th There is no breakfast after Mass. The Senior Priest fund raiser will be held September 13th for the new home for our Senior Priests. Dinner Tickets are $15.00 per person. The dinner will be open to all. Doors will open at 5:30 pm . Get your tickets from me, DGK Bill Vandeveer or Carl Knieper. Come join us for a great dinner and auction. To reserve a table of 8, call me at 810-664-0003 or Carl Knieper 810-569-1245. Tickets will be at the Hall, or you can get them at your Church office. Support our Priests, they need our help. October 11th is the date of the Council’s Annual Workers Party and Awards Night. Cost of the tickets will be $20.00 but you will get your money back at the door when you attend the party. The Knight for the month of September is a brother who does a lot for our Council. This PGK works most all of the Bingos. He is always there when you need help. Romano D'Angelo is my choice for the Knight of the Month for September. Thank you Romano for all you do. My choice for Family of the Month for September is Michael & Louise Ambroziak. Mike has been a great help and Louise is always there for him. Thank you both for everything you do for our Council. God Bless this great Council Larry L Prevo GK A Few Words from Our FSC LABOR DAY Labor Day is a break for most of us from our regular routine to getting away for a few days or just getting away from our “Labor”; but, what does that mean to you? The term “Labor” implies the kind of work that requires a lot of energy and is demanding. What is intriguing is that many use more energy pursuing their hobbies or recreation than they do their work. It all depends on the mindset. If you like what you are doing, it is “re-creating” and enjoyable. If you only do it because it is necessary, then it can be draining. If you can think of your job as a means of improving yourself, helping others and pleasing God; then, you will draw energy from it and grow. So, do you work to live or live to work? What motivates your labor? Vivat Jesus Leroy White, FSC Faithful Navigator’s Report Brother Knights, Being a Knight of Columbus member is a great feeling, especially when you get involved and see what GOOD things we do. Building handicap ramps, our MI drive, donations to Guest House, Holy Cross Children Services, to our local churches and special projects in the area are just a sampling. To make all this possible, our fund raisers need to be supported and need participation from our members, our catholic congregation and local community. Our fraternal order (Webster: to attain a common goal or to further their mutual benefit) stands strong in our Council. The GREAT thing is that there is no limit to our goals or personnel participation! We have room for ALL that want to help and get involved. It is a good feeling! The Poker room dates we have secured have been put on hold by our State lawmakers. Will keep you updated if any changes. Talk it up, spread the word, invite your friends, buy tickets. We are hosting a New Year’s Eve Party. This is a major fund raiser for us. Please support and volunteer to help, as stated above, we have room for help. Color Guard please take notice of the Commander’s Nov. 9 date for training. If you do not have all your regalia or are interested in joining, you are invited. It is not too early for planning for Valentine’s Day 2015, a perfect fit is our first annual (hopefully) Valentine’s Day Dance, Feb. 13. Our committee is aiming at it being a gala affair. Newsmaker band is booked for our dancing and entertainment, a delicious buffet, all in a “lovely” decorated surrounding. Hope to see you there! Oct. 25, 2014 is the date of the next Exemplification. As a 1 day event, it is the perfect opportunity to become a 4 th degree member. It is going to be held in Westphalia, not too far away. Please, if you are thinking about it, ask a fellow Knight. You 4 th degree members, ask your fellow Knights about joining. Greg McCarty Faithful Navigator Ardon F. Dubie Assembly 0523 Financial Secretary’s Notes Brother Knights, With Winter approaching, our snowbirds are close to leaving for warmer weather. With our new mailing system we should not have an issue with your newsletter. But to help ensure that, please continue to notify me of when you are leaving and anticipated return so that we can help to eliminate more mailing cost. Thanks. I would again like to ask for your help in keeping our birthdays and anniversaries updated. With a council as big and spread out as ours, it’s difficult to keep it current. If you know of someone that has passed away and their name is still on the list, please let me know. We have a goal of 31 new members for the new fraternal year. With the increasing age of our council, we need to continue to bring new members in so that we can continue to do the work that our council is known for. Think back to when you joined, all somebody did was to ask you to become a Knight. The next time you are in church, maybe the catholic gentleman next to you is just waiting to be asked! If you would like to contact me I can be reached at 810-397-8114 or emailed at: [email protected] Fraternally yours, Joel Fournier, Financial Secretary Faithful Comptroller’s Notes My Brother Sir Knights, A few of you have not paid your 2014 dues. Please save the Assembly the postage of sending out a billing notice and send your dues in. Call me if you have questions. Third Degree Brothers: There is still time to sign up to join the Fourth Degree. The next Exemplification is October 25! Call Me or Navigator Greg for more info! Cell: 810-471-7256 Mark F.
