Be sure to come to the meeting this month so you can enjoy one of the great dinners Mike Dixon and his crew prepare for us. I haven’t heard what’s to be on the menu, but it’s sure to be a good meal.

Brother Knights,

Welcome once again to our monthly newsletter. I want to just say thank you to everyone who attended the June meeting. You may or may not know that I was involved in an accident that evening on my way home from work and was not quite up to par. Thanks for your cooperation and consideration during the 1^st Degree and the meeting. If you are wondering, I am back to 100%, with no complications.

I also want to thank and congratulate all the officers elected at the June meeting for their commitment to their offices and accepting the responsibilities for each office. We all need to give special thanks to the wives of these members as they too are contributing by being home with kids or whatever so their husbands may fulfill these positions. I wish to especially thank my wife, Hayley, for her support of my duties as I enter my sixth term as Grand Knight of this council. With her support, I enjoy and am proud of what I am doing; and I will continue to do the best I can as your Grand Knight.

Things to be discussed at the July meeting are: Home Association Elections; M.R. (aka Tootsie Roll) Drive; Highway Cleanup; 5^th Sunday Breakfast July 31^st; A Night at the Races on October 30^th; and of course, Floor Replacement scheduled for August. Please be attentive as each item is discussed, so we can get through the meeting as quickly as possible.

Team Captains, I would like to organize a meeting for Tuesday, July 26^th so we can update our workers list, modify it if necessary, and produce a membership roster so that call notification will then be possible for bereavement or other such emergencies.

Thanks again all Council members and Ladies, too. Together, let’s see how much better this next fraternal year can be.

Fraternally yours,

Randy Leitman

Grand Knight

This month there will be a rosary said for deceased Brother David Orf. His family has been invited to the hall for this. Please come out and show the Orf family the commitment to each other and to the Knights of Columbus organization that we all possess.

"A Plenary Indulgence is granted to all faithful and to each individual faithful under the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer in keeping with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, with the soul completely removed from attachment to any form of sin), each and every time they participate attentively and piously in a sacred function or a devotional exercise undertaken in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, solemnly exposed and conserved in the tabernacle."

In order to obtain the plenary indulgence, you must be free of all attachment to sin, even venial sin. In addition, you must meet these three conditions within eight days before or after adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament: sacramental confession, reception of the Holy Eucharist, and prayers for the Holy Father and his intentions (an Our Father and a Hail Mary are recommended).

The following schedule of jobs will be followed in order to facilitate the placement of the new floor. All help will be greatly appreciated. Come out and enjoy camaraderie with your Brother Knights as what was said earlier is very true –Many hands make light work. Please call me at 462-7390 if anyone has any questions. Thank you.

Todd Mack

Project Chairman

It has been decided to just have coffee, juice and donuts at the hall on Sunday, July 31^st following 8:00 Mass. Hope to see you there.

Since our corrected & updated roster of registered members is now nearing completion, a Team Captain Meeting has been called for Tuesday, July 26^th at 5:30 PM at the KC Hall. A review of work teams and possibly expansion of work teams from the current eight will be discussed. There will also be a Calling Committee meeting scheduled for the same date at 6:30 PM. You will receive a phone call prior to the meeting.

A special thank you goes out to Chad Simpson & Mike Flynn for their investigation of the nachos & cheese addition to our concession stand menu. It has been very successful. Thanks, guys!!

We want all of you members to feel important in this Council. This could not be the Council that it is and is going to be without your full participation. We need your ideas and input. Please come to the meetings and be important. The meetings have been designed to socialize beforehand and be productive during the meeting. Any information you would like to get in the newsletter, please contact Mike Flynn (366-9934 or 314-568-8234) prior to Friday before the meeting.

We want to thank everyone who has been working so hard to make this a dynamic council. It is the hard work of all our members, and our ladies, that makes this a great council. Thank you!!

Fraternally yours,

The Invigorating Committee

Randy Leitman Mike Flynn Mike Dixon Chris Metze Jim Volmert
