God created the heavens and the earth, land and sea, animals, plants, and man and saw all was good; then rested on the seventh day. How does this relate to our Service Program, you ask? Well simply said, as a Council, we find ourselves still in the planning and creation stage. Our Installation of New Officers was held on the 26th of July. With us was our Worthy Chaplain, Father Christopher Fitzgerald, and our Worthy District Deputy, Mr. Rick Hughes, who presided over the ceremony, accompanied by our Worthy District Warden, Mr. Nick Turco, who guided our New Officers through their ceremonial parts.
My thanks to the family members and friends who attended; their presence provided their husbands, fathers, and friends a high-five level of support. A special thanks also goes to Tom and Shirley Kessinger for coordinating our social of tasty sandwiches, chips and dip, dessert and refreshments.
Your new officers held a second planning meeting to establish council structure and committees to do God’s work. We are still at the beginning stages and are still looking for more good ideas, so please be receptive.
Our current Service Program covers the full fraternal year. It includes youth activities, council development, community service events, and fraternal events. We have placed Christ back in Christmas and set a goal to recruit four or more new members with three new members with insurance.
Through all of these new efforts, ‘communication’ is vital to our success. To aid in spreading the word, a Newsletter will be published monthly, a Web Blog will be updated monthly, and you will have a copy of the Annual Events Calendar to refer to.
Remember, any sacrifice for Christ in this Council will receive not only heavenly rewards, but also earthly recognition.
