Dear Brother Knight’s:

As we approach the end of this Columbian Year, I think we can say that it was successful due to the efforts of all of you Brother Knights who supported the council and community by participating in our many activities, breakfasts, fundraisers, BBQ’s, Lecturer’s evenings, Lorne Dowling Bursary, basketball free throw and the many times that we prayed together at the Stations, Devine Mercy and Marian Hour to name a few. We even found the time to start some new Surge Programs such as Adopt a Family at CUPS meeting with families from Acadia House and our latest, Coats for Kids, providing winter coats for those in need.

The new Vocations Poster Contest program was an amazing success with participation from over 60 students at St Mathew’s and St William’s Schools and our chosen winner has indeed a very good chance of being selected as the Alberta State winner. Brother Leo Bunz, thank you for the many hours you put into informing and meeting the teachers on several occasions and ensuring the posters were mailed out on time and congratulating the students with Brothers Henry Feddema and John Bothwell.

Brother Vital Morrissette, despite your challenges this year, your fraternal care of visiting our Knights, Widows and keeping us advised is truly appreciated. Brother Mike Abday, thank you for keeping the Wheelchair Bowling alive and also reaching out to our Knights and Ladies and pinch hitting for Vital.

I would also like to personally thank all you honorable brothers who have kept a harmony in our council meetings especially this year, participating as a team and truly demonstrating our three degrees of Charity, Unity and Fraternity.

Brother Frank Gerritsen, thank you for stepping in as Deputy Grand Knight and helping me. There was more than one occasion when you took the lead and demonstrated your leadership capability to the council.

Congratulations again to Brother Dennis Cadungog for completing your First Degree and Brothers Andy Haynes, Ric McIver, Kim and Steven Dorscher and Michael Oyedele who have completed your First, Second and Third degrees. Please be encouraged to participate whenever you can and feel free to inquire on the many surge programs or new ideas that reach out to the community and strengthen your council.

I’m sure you share the same appreciation of our editors Elaine and Dan Barth, who have creatively provided us with these exceptional newsletters. Remember that your reports are especially needed to keep all our Knights and Ladies informed. John Bothwell, our Recorder, has done a wonderful job of keeping us informed with recording and distributing the minutes. Please take the time to personally thank Dan, Elaine and John.

I don’t think that our Financial Secretary and Treasurer ever get enough recognition for the hours they put in keep our funds accountable, supplies from Supreme available and council running efficiently overall. Thank you from us all, Brothers Len White and Gordon Finstad.

Bro.Mike Driscoll chairs one of our fund raising ventures, which is the Grocery Gift Card program of Safeway, Coop and Sobeys cards. These cards are sold after all Sunday masses on the weekend so if you see Bro. Mike sitting alone at the table selling cards, stop by and say hello to him and buy your grocery cards as well.

One final word about saying thanks. As you know I was in Cuba with my Italian fishing buddies  from Canadian Pacific. Well each morning when I gave thanks to God at breakfast, I noticed that one other friend was doing the same the next day…and at the end of the week we all prayed together. As Fr. Frank offered at his Holy Trinity homily, we should all celebrate thanksgiving to God so let us pass it on to others especially on this occasion of the Year of Faith.

As I mentioned in the last newsletter and the reason for this earlier edition, we are holding our elections at our June 3rd general meeting. It is appropriate that you all attend this meeting and I look forward to seeing you if you haven’t been able to attend meeting regularly.

Please note that the Grand Knight’s Ball in honour of our Past G. K. Henry Feddema will be held at St Cecilia’s Church, June 15th. Music will be provided by Brother Roland Gelinas’s group and catering by our Lil Rose. We have made it very affordable and also open to the parish and friends from 8:00 PM, so let’s celebrate together.

Please continue to keep in mind our Brothers and Ladies who are in need of our prayers and visits.

Heidi and I are fortunate to share your fraternity in many ways, and we particularly thank you all for your support. May you all enjoy a healthful and wonderful summer with His blessings.

Vivat Jesus!
Bro. Kevin Lopresti, GK

Brother Knight’s:

I don’t know about you but I feel this Columbian year is just flying by and soon I’ll be asking myself if our council truly met its goals in achieving Charity, Unity and Fraternity. You may all have different opinions as to whether our participation at meetings, programs and events were a fulfilling experience or were they less than expected. We all have reasons for being a Knight but I think we all want to contribute something no matter how small, even if it’s to share fraternity from time to time. I can only say for myself, as it was a somewhat trying year, my involvement as your Grand Knight has kept me grounded in faith and it has been a very positive experience in so many ways, thanks to you all.

I would invite you to think about what you value as a Knight of Columbus as we are preparing for our election of officers at our June 3rd general meeting. Are our activities inviting enough participation and are our programs benefitting the community? Are you personally achieving what you are seeking at our meetings or would you like to get a little more involved? Keep this in mind when our nominating committee of our Past Grand Knights calls for involvement on the Executive and for you to vote in our June general meeting. Please plan to come to the next two general meetings.

Congratulations Brothers Andre Ethier and Dave Allen for obtaining their Pro-Serve certification following our brief meeting in April. You will also need to attend a session at the Saddledome before you can work at the McMahon Stadium for the football games on either Thursday May 23, 2013 – 5:00 PM or Tuesday June 11, 2013 – 5:00 PM. For all others that are interested in volunteering this coming season, arrange to obtain your certification so you can attend these orientation sessions in time. This is a fun and fraternal activity towards raising some funds for our charities and programs. With a few more Knights certified, this will free up some weekends for all of us this season.

A couple of upcoming events that we need our Knights to help with are 1) coordinating the Garage Sale with the Catholic Women’s League for May 31, June 1st and 2nd and 2) to serve at the Catholic Women’s League Convention Wine and Cheese reception on June 7th wearing a white shirt, black pants and a bow tie. I know we can count on you when called. Brother Dan Barth is the co-ordinator and would appreciate volunteers.

Please continue to pray for our Brothers and Ladies who are in need of our prayers and visits.

Vivat Jesu.
Fraternally,
Kevin Lopresti, GK

Brother Knight’s:

I trust you had a spiritual Lenten preparation renewing your faith and the opportunity to celebrate Easter with family and friends. This is indeed becoming a most eventful and inspirational Columbian year, beginning with the Year of Faith motivating us to professing, celebrating, living and praying our faith through our various programs and involvement in the community. As requested by Supreme, our Chaplain Fr. Frank Feldmann and I have reported at least one of our programs for each of the above areas and our council will be receiving an image of the Holy Family as an acknowledgement.

A few weeks ago we received great news with the choice of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires as the church’s 266th Pope, Francis. Our Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson advises that as a result the Roman Catholic Church is most likely to emphasize on helping the poor, which we as Knights can relate to, as Charity is our first principle.

By the time you read this report, our council will have participated in the Way of the Cross Procession from St Mary’s, that promises to be the largest yet, marking the anniversary of the Alberta Diocese. I’d like to thank Brothers Frank Gerritsen, Henry Feddema, Leo Bunz and Tom Czarnomski for volunteering their time to ensure an organized and safe venue for those professing their faith. Jana Drapal’s coordination of the event and program made it a touching experience. She was most appreciative of all the Councils amongst all that participated.

At our recent Chapter meeting we were reminded by Brother Jeff Desrochers, son of our late Past Grand Knight Larry Desrochers, that in connection with the World Youth Day, The One Rock Festival will be held on July 26, 27 and 28 at Mount St Francis Retreat Centre in Cochrane. Please visit this website for further information on how we can volunteer, participate or contribute to this fabulous family event.
http://www.onerock.ca

The K of C Vocations Poster Contest got off to a great start and finish as this initiative was efficiently coordinated by our Brother Leo Bunz with the participation of 47 students from St Mathew and St William Schools. As selected by Brothers Henry Feddema, Dave Masse., Leo Bunz and myself, the names of one grade 5 student winner from each school and their posters are being forwarded to Alberta state. Come to the next General Meeting to have a peek at the winning posters.

We will have to try again for a Pro-Serve meeting sometime in April so we’ll be ready with additional volunteers for the summer’s Stampeder’s game season. Please come forward and join the group already working the booths.

The Council and I extend our thank our Deputy Grand Knight Frank Gerritsen, for his enthusiastic and commendable facilitation of last month’s general meeting in my absence. Way to go Frank! Glad you enjoyed the experience.

Please continue to keep in mind our Brothers who need our prayers and visits.

Vivat Jesus!
Fraternally,
Kevin Lopresti, G.K.

Brother Knight’s:

Although February has been a short month, we have been active starting with the Mary Immaculate statue at the Sunday 9 and 11 AM masses on February 3rd at which the Knights participated. We also had a fine attendance of 12 of our council’s Knights who attended Padre Night in Airdrie on February 7th and shared a special evening with Bishop Henry and the clergy.

Just to let you know Bishop Henry has endorsed the WeNeedaLAW.ca campaign a few days later on February 12th, 2013. “Since the 1988 ruling in Regina v. Morgentaler, Canada has had no abortion law. Canadian history has shown that we make the law (or seek justice) in our image and likeness where there is no external standard, and worse still, the rationale for having an abortion multiplies. This is intolerable. It is time for everyone to support the campaign and goals of WeNeedaLAW.ca”.

We also helped the CWL with the Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser on February 9th. Thanks to Bros. Dan, Henry and our Deputy GK Frank for help in the kitchen the day before. The next day we organized parish breakfasts to commemorate with World Day of the Sick. Thanks to you Knights and ladies who helped in the kitchen and set up of the chairs on both days.

On February 12th Leo Bunz and James O’Dell with their Ladies Mary and Jenny, represented our council at Ecole St. Cecilia’s at their Shrove Tuesday Pancake breakfast. This is a wonderful opportunity to show our support for this pre-Lenten event and the students were most appreciative.

Our council hosted the Major Degree on February 23rd at St. Cecilia’s for our District Deputy Ricky Finzel. We had our 3 candidates Brothers Ric McIver and father and son Kim and Steven Dorscher attending their exemplification along with 33 other Knights. Thanks to you Knights for your support and help.

We will be planning a Pro-Serve meeting sometime in March and you will be advised of the date. We encourage more Brother Knights to take the course and be a part of the Fund Raising Project.

Please continue to pray for our brothers Dave, Peter and Vital as they recover from major surgery.

I wish all my Brother Knights and families a prayerful and spiritual Lent and on behalf of Heidi and me, a very joyous and Happy Easter.

Vivat Jesus,
Kevin Lopresti, G.K.

Brother Knight’s;

Woo hoo! We’re almost through January and my cold water taps haven’t frozen. I know the downside is that this weather is not the greatest for flues so I hope most of you manage to get through.

I have to tell you that I have looked at some service programs that focus on the community this month. The first one was Shrove Tuesday of which we were asked to attend at Ecole St. Cecilia, and that they could use some assistance with the ingredients. I have placed an order for Coats for Kids that we discussed at our last general meeting but it cost a little more to accommodate one box of twelve coats each, for the boys and girls. The third was the Religious Awareness Poster Contest funded by Alberta NWT State Council for grade 5 students.

Well, isn’t this timely as Pope Benedict XVI had just announced the Year of Faith and that he reminds us of the K of C’s responsibility to take a leadership role within our community in a “renewal of the Church”. The Holy Father emphasized the importance of Charity, our First principle and that “Faith without Charity bears no fruit, while Charity without Faith would be a sentiment constantly at the mercy of doubt”.

The Order’s Year of Faith program is based on 4 categories so I’ll briefly describe them and how a few of our activities fit and are only possible with your support.

Faith Processed – learning more about our faith. What are our resources?

• Reading the Columbia magazine,
• our State Chaplain’s vocation program reviewed at our general meeting and
• inciting an awareness with the Religious Poster Contest.

Faith Lived – Charity …love of God and love of neighbor.

• Live our faith with helping needy families especially around Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving.
• Supplying coats for children during winter.

Faith Celebrated – Faith motivates our charitable and spiritual activities.

• Acknowledging our parishioners with a breakfast following the Anointing of the Sick.
• Padre’s Appreciation Night.

Faith Prayed – Prayer is a source of Unity, strengthens our spirit and our works.

• Statue of Mary Immaculate program Feb. 1-4 at St Cecilia’s.
• Marian Hour of Prayer Program.

I’d like to thank Bro. Dan Barth for presenting the film “For Greater Glory” and the review questions on the morality of how Catholics reacted to a loss of religious freedom at this time in Mexico’s history. Thanks to all who contributed to the fraternity after and especially to Elaine and Katherine for the most amazing popcorn.

I offered to help make the spaghetti at the CWL Spaghetti Dinner/Dance fundraiser on Feb. 9th. Well even my Italian fly-fishing buddies won’t allow me to make the pasta! Please offer your help and I hope you can come to the fundraiser and support our CWL.

Please also note that several of our Knights and Ladies need our prayers and we need your help with the World Day of the Sick Breakfast Feb. 10 after the 11AM mass.

Dear Brother Knight’s;

Welcome to our second half of our Columbian year and as we approach it, we may think about the past year, our challenges, our accomplishments and especially how we have grown as members of this council. I know personally it has been extremely busy with a new demanding position with Electro-Motive and with you as your Grand Knight. However in perspective, God gives us a moment at a time and I’m sure I share with you that our social side is nurtured when we contribute some of our time within the K of C activities and programs. We are fortunate to be members of a dynamic and healthy council. We sustain our aspirations and goals for the council with fraternity, charity and unity and indeed our senior members know that and are delighted to share their experiences with all the newer Knights. So my challenge to you this year is to keep this in focus as one of the reasons you personally joined the Knights. It is so true that if you balance your work and family life and try to make time with men of faith, you will indeed find strength and serenity in everything you do.

Recently, Henry Feddema and Frank Gerritsen joined me in an Adopt–a-Family Christmas dinner organized by the CUPS organization for several families at Acadia Place. We mingled with the families and were glad to see they were open with us and told us about their lives and they seemed to have hope for progress with their situations. The local McDougal United church sponsored the dinner, and our council sponsored a husband and wife with five children with some presents and a food voucher. Some families inquired about St Cecilia’s and I’m sure they will visit us soon. Although we have just started this new service program towards helping a family, with some future meetings with CUPS, we will determine how we can be most effective in contributing some time towards social justice.

I’d like to thank our Chancellor Henry Feddema for organizing the K of C Basketball Free Throw school level competition and DGK Frank Gerritsen, Mike Abday, our Newsletter Editor Dan Barth for assisting. We had a great time and it was nice to see several students that had participated in the past.

Our Christmas Pot Luck dinner organized by our Lecturer Dan and Elaine was well attended by Fr. Henry, Fr. Frank and Fr. Francis and our deceased Knight’s ladies, Mrs: Catherine Beckett, Bernice Hassler, Clara D’Souza, Joyce Coughlin, Lucille Desrochers, Tilly Silbernagel and Gloria Grey. Invited guests were Elaine Templeton, Noreen MacDonald and Allan Wood and wife Didi. We had a jovial evening including stepdancing instruction all made possible by everyone who volunteered their time and shared some Christmas fraternity. Noreen advised that over $670 in donations for SSVP were received. Thank you!!!

By the time you have read this bulletin, we will have already held our first United Charities Appeal fund drive Coordinated by our DGK Frank at the Southcentre Mall from Jan. 4th to the 6th which promises to be successful within the busiest shopping days of the year. Thank you to all who have volunteered.

Please join me in thanking Bro. Greg LaMarre who is residing in Toronto, for his timely maintenance of our K of C Mail List and Council 4878 website. Please visit https://kofc.stceciliacalgary.com/

Heidi and I wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Vivat Jesus!
GK Kevin Lopresti

Dear Brother Knights;

A council that prays, socializes, is attentive to our clergy and community and works together towards strengthening our faith in Christ Jesus, is living Fr. Michael J. McGivney’s aspirations for the Knights. As your Grand Knight I am encouraged that we have remained steady with our programs and participation within the parish. However as I’ve mentioned earlier this year, we always need to engage and challenge ourselves with new goals that allow us to demonstrate our talents and humanity within the community. I will be talking to you about some existing social justice programs that we can either participate in or develop for our own program as we investigate our community’s needs. If it is only to help one family this Christmas, this would be a great start.

This Christmas season will unify you with friends, family, and our parish. Please keep in mind that many of our worthy Knights that are not in the best of health, would be most appreciative of our visits and prayers. Our widows also look forward to our fraternal visit so when Bro. Vital Morrissette calls upon us to deliver the poinsettias, your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness will be fabulous.

This month the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Ric McIver, has completed his First Degree and we are privileged to have him in our council. Our talented Brother Andy Haynes has been initiated into the Second and Third Degrees. They will be looking to us for guidance towards fulfilling their own aspirations of why they joined this charitable, fraternal organization if not just to be united with men of our Christian faith. Our council unanimously welcomes our Knights who we know are not always available, to plan to attend a few meetings this Columbian year and rekindle spirits with your fellow knights.

This year has been another successful year with our Basketball Free Throw, parish breakfasts, handicap bowling, garage sale, Stampeder fundraising program, Grey Cup Pool and the Knights of Columbus Charities Appeal ticket sales, to name a few of our activities, that couldn’t have been at all possible without your dedication and generosity. Thank you all.

Our council and I would also like to thank our Publicity and Newsletter editors Bro. Dan and Elaine for unifying us with the warmth, time and effort put into each and every bulletin. We will strive to be “on time” with our reports.

Heidi and I joyously express to each and every Knight, Lady and our past Knight’s Widows, a very warm and Merry Christmas with God’s Blessings!

Vivat Jesus!
GK Kevin Lopresti

Worthy Brother Knights;

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and shared a time of reflection with your families and friends. We are very fortunate to live in this rich country of Canada, however, we all know there are those who can use a little help, personal visits and our prayers which really matter. Let’s keep this in mind in our existing programs and perhaps some new programs that you would like to initiate in this Columbian year. Our newer Brother Knights are eager to serve and show their talents and your guidance is appreciated.

We had a great month of October in our membership blitz recruiting three new Knights, Kim and son Steven Dorscher, and Rick McIver, MLA. Thanks to Brothers Mike Abday, John Bothwell, Frank Gerritsen, Ken Dorscher and Dan Barth for attending their ceremonies and showing their support. Please continue to ask our parishioners directly, along with the new Self-Recruiting box to start soon, to think about joining our K of C Council and finding out what their particular aspirations might be. Thanks to Bro. Danny for organizing the Outdoor Rosary in the Rachel Garden attended by 29 parishioners and council members.

For the month of November we have the Memorial Mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral at 7:00 PM, on November 8th. We will remember our deceased Brother Knights P.G.K. Lloyd Schulte and Leslie D’Souza so please come to the mass and show our support for our widows.

On Sunday, November 18th our parish will be celebrating the feast of our parish patron, St. Cecilia. We have been asked by Bro. Ross Ferby to help with the setup for the Musical Fiesta that evening so again we ask for your volunteering expertise.

Bro. John Wojtowicz is once again running the Grey Cup tickets program, with the proceeds designated to Society of St. Vincent DePaul. Please have your sales ready when he calls.
There is one more Stampeder Football game on Sunday, November 11th. At the October 26th game, Randy Lopez kept us warm with lots of hot chocolate, which we enjoyed along with some cookies brought to us by one of our clients, all for a fabulous time of fraternity and fund raising. Thank you Bro. Randy and Carolyn Lopez and supportive Brother Knights.

Fraternally yours,

Bro. Kevin Lopresti,
Grand Knight

My Brother Knights

I bring you greetings and a hearty welcome to all worthy Knight’s of Archbishop Monahan Council 4878. I trust you had a good summer as the weather was just fabulous and I know you are all eager to make this Columbian year the best ever! Personally as your new Grand Knight I am looking forward to supporting you in your visions and generous contributions to this council and to the community, as this is what we do. Please do not hesitate to show your concerns with any of the surge programs or to suggest new ones that you feel will enrich our experiences and purpose. I’d like to thank our past GK Henry Feddema for his utmost guidance and dedication to our council and I know he will be my aid in challenging times.

Following our last general meeting, let us reflect on our activities this summer. The Grand Knight’s Ball, honouring PGK Mike Bakk, held at St. Cecilia’s was very successful and well attended. Our GK Henry brought his personal touch to the Ball, by bringing in our parishes talents such as Lillian Rose who co-ordinated the catering for our dinner, which was excellent. Our own Roland Gelinas brought in his band “ “ and dance all night we did indeed. Henry also invited the Parishioners for the dance portion and it made for a most enjoyable night. It was especially good to see our State Chaplain Fr. Henry Rosenbaum and Fr. Patrick Furtado again.

The garage sale held in late June endorsed whole heartedly by our Chaplain Pastor Fr. Leo was a fabulous success raising funds for the church, council and the needy. Although we envisioned it would be quite a challenge, due to the harmony amongst everyone contributing their time and smiles, it was accomplished marvellously and with energy to spare. Even Dave Allan was smiling when his truck was unloaded in less than 20 minutes at the Goodwill Center. A special thanks to Vicki Baran and Jenny O’Dell for their guidance and to all who helped make this a success. We are raring and ready for next year’s sale indeed!

Once again the sun was shining for our well attended Stampede Breakfast co-ordinated by our Past State Deputy and Breakfast Chairman Danny Barth. Thank you. The success was also due to many of the Knights and their Ladies and also the children of Henry and Donna Feddema, John Barth visiting us from Turkey, and our Insurance agent Greg Miskiman. Thanks also to our master BBQ’er Mike Abday, who says as he was approaching B.O. this summer, “do you think next year I can have a little shade?” You bet!
Randy and Carolyn Lopez are doing an amazing job of co-ordinating the Stamps games fundraising and this is challenging due to the limited Pro Serve certified volunteers. Thanks to all of you who have been coming out so far this season and supporting one of our major fundraising activities for the council. Let me share with you that on the Aug. 18th game Elaine and Donna were not well at all but they came down despite to support us. I encourage you to make arrangements to become pro-serve certified to at least contribute some of your time as we head into the fall season, please and to allow the faithful regulars, some due time off. The on-line course can be done at your schedule anytime and you will be compensated. The Pro Serve address is:
http://proserve.aglc.ca/Index.aspx?tabid=13&sc=ASIPOL

Our Executive and Surge Program Directors are ready to co-ordinate their programs, however they definitely need your support so that our charitable works flourish and are well represented. Following our first meeting of September 5th, 2012 we will commence with Bishop Henry’s outdoor mass BBQ lunch, held at the Fr. Lacombe Center on September 9th. Our council is known for doing a super BBQ, so let’s continue with the support you have shown in the past. You know it is fun to do as well when there is lot’s of help.
For those worthy Knights who are unable to attend our meetings due to reasons beyond their control, I bring you greetings from the council who hold you close to our hearts and in our prayers.

Our council also welcomes Fr. Frank Feldmann to our Parish. May we be of service to you and may you be our inspirational guide in our works.

Vivat Jesus
Kevin Lopresti, GK

Don’t let the fact that we can’t do everything keep us from doing something!!

Brother Knights:

Our Columbian Year is nearly over with only the month of June to enjoy. We have had a busy and interesting year of activities and for this I am most grateful to so many of you. Our Lorne Dowling Bursary Program was once again successfully carried out under the capable leadership of Alfredo Nino, presenting bursaries to very worthy recipients.

The Charities Appeal tickets, a Council Project, was chaired by Bro. Mike Driscoll and along with that, I thank him for spearheading the Basketball Free Throw Tournament for the District.

For the first time we had the pleasure of donating a cheque to St. Cecilia’s church for $1500.00 as their share of the Food Gift Card Program. This will continue into the next Columbian Year.

Randy and Carolyn (nee Wojtowicz) Lopez have done an excellent job of co-ordinating the Stampeder Football Games volunteers, always ensuring that we have enough people at every game. We have a good track record so let’s support Carolyn when she calls. We’ve had good participation from our various chairs – all under the Surge Program, in making certain events come to pass.

My Deputy Grand Knight, Brother Kevin has been my right arm all year, pinch-hitting for me so many times. My sincere thank you Kevin.

My appreciation goes out to all my officers for their commitment to their office. They were all a big help to me.

Thank you to Father Leo Monroe, our Spiritual Advisor, who was available at any time for advice and spiritual guidance. We appreciate his love of the Knight of Columbus, his church and his Brother Knights. We hope we have served him well over the past years.

Many more Brothers who have diligently carried out their duties deserve my thanks; Bro. Vital who faithfully made sure mass cards were given and visits were made, Bro. Mike Abday for being there every Tuesday for the Seniors Wheel Chair Bowling and to all who worked as caring and fraternal Knights of Columbus. Without the efforts of all of you, our council would not survive and I could not have carried out my duties.

There are still a few events that will take place in June so please avail your selves to be a part of what is to come. You will find them in other reports in this newsletter.

To all of you, my Brother Knights and many ladies, I say a big and heartfelt thank you. My wife Donna and I wish you a summer of sunshine, family time and good health. We want to see all of you back in September, rejuvenated and ready to work with our incoming Grand Knight. Thank you one and all!

Fraternally,
Henry Feddema, G.k.
