May Council Meeting

Another great turnout with over 50 members at our May council meeting. Susie Boster spoke about the Foster Program in the Archdiocese and how we can help with the program. Father Gerard opened with a prayer and spoke about his upcoming 6 week summer Prodigal Son program starting in June.  Kerby Clevenger went through the new degree ceremonies and joined our council. Jimmy Powers was recognized as our latest Knight of the Quarter. The council approved a funding request received through our funding committee of $1400 to help the Saint Mary's food kitchen purchase needed equipment. Our local 4th Degree council is selling slabs of ribs for $20 each and pickup the weekend of May 15th. Our council is selling pulled pork in 2 pound bags for $25 each for pickup the weekend of May 22nd. Council elections were held and the budget for next fiscal year was presented and approved. The action packed council meeting lasted 45 minutes and ended on time with a great Cinco De Mayo meal of chicken fajitas, enchiladas and margaritas.

It was a very different but successful year with only the curbside pickup option. We served a total of 2693 total meals / items over the 6 weeks. Thank you again for supporting one of our largest fundraisers.

March Meeting

 Our March meeting was attended by around 45 guys, which is getting closer to our pre-pandemic attendance levels. It is great to see people coming back to ur meetings and socializing again. We had a couple of first time visitors inquiring about becoming a Knight and had 3 new members who went through our degree ceremony prior to the meeting. The new members are pictured below. From left to right is Gene Zwolinski, our Grand Knight, Andrew Caldwell, John Lubianesky  & Joe Terranova. 

Matt Textor gave an update on our Lenten Fish Fry's. The conversion to a curbside pickup only has been a challenge, but has proven to be effective with with 306 meals served our first week and 519 served for the second. Matt, the cooking, and serving teams have done a great job with this transition. Ben Biller promoted the upcoming Food Drive which will be taking place the weekend of March 13th & 14th.
