Athletics, especially long distance runners, credit their abilities to complete the race to what is commonly known as catching the second wind. Doctors attribute this phenomenon to a heavy rush of hormones, specifically: adrenaline.
Well Knights, this Council is halfway through the year and we have ‘caught our second wind’. January 2010 gave us a fresh start to review our next six months of Charity works. We announced the winners of the Christmas essay: (First Place: Douglas Herrick, Second Place: Kimberly Curley, and Third Place: Ramona Shoy-Parker). Congratulations boys and girls! Our program also included raising kids’ interests in sports by carrying out the Annual Basketball Free Throw Contest. This year’s winner in the ‘10 Year Old’ category is our own DGK’s grandson, Kevin Erlendsson.
As a special request from our Deacon, we provided meals to the needy in January and they were grateful. This month we are scheduled to do it again.
As a cooperative measure, the Council joined in with the Spanish Group to sponsor this year’s first Church Dinner and Dance. This merger was profitable and the libations hit the spot.
Beginning in February we will start ticket sales for the Valentine Breakfast. The sign-up list is out; please show up and contribute – as a sales person and on the cooking day.
The Council is a main player in Fr. Mick’s Fortieth Anniversary Celebration on 12 February. Please attend the Mass and join us for dessert.
Lent starts on 17 February with Ash Wednesday and the Women’s Guild wants to join hands to set up a “Fish Fry Friday.” If you wish to participate or lead, contact the DGK. We are scheduled to work at the end of the month to Feed the Needy again, please don’t forget!
A new schedule/calendar of events has been published for the next six months. If you have not yet received, please it let me know. Remember, in order to keep up to date on Council announcements and upcoming events, you need to visit our Blog (http://kofc14278.blogspot.com/), read our Newsletter, and attend our monthly meetings. I hope that you will make very effort to participate in these next published events.
