Grand Knight’s Report
 
April showers and May flowers.  Spring is finally here.  The end of our fraternal year is also approaching and this is a good time to look at our annual budget and most importantly our upcoming annual activities.  We have a lot of great events all dependent on volunteers.  We need to look at each of our planned events and ask a couple of serious questions:

• Does the event reflect our belief in God, Family and Country?
• Do we have a coordinator for the event?
• Can we afford to hold the event? Has it been budgeted for?
• Is the event open to our families (meetings, degrees are exempt)?
• Can this event be a recruiting opportunity?

 
When we hold the event, are the workers/volunteers wearing our orange shirt and our hat so that we are visible to the community?  If you don’t have an orange shirt and our hat, why not?  You can get them free by simply volunteering.
 
One of the events we are hoping to add this year is either bowling or miniature golf or both, as a fund raiser to remodel our pavilion area.  We would like to put in a deck, a partial wall around it, a built in grill, refurnish it and repair the roof.  If you are interested in taking this project on let me know.
 
We are also looking for a new Culture of Life Family couple to direct our pro-life efforts.  If you and your wife are deeply committed to ending abortion and supporting the church initiative that all life matters from conception to natural death, please see me.   Steve and Maryellen Bell are the current Culture of Life Family and will be retiring from that position the end of June.
 
Go and enjoy the God’s great outdoors and be safe.
