Notes From The Grand Knight

Vivat Jesus

I want everyone to have a great Thanksgiving

and drive carefully over the holiday. This is a

very busy time for our council during the months

of Nov.& Dec.

Dec. 3

we are having a 1

Degree so lets try

to get all the candidates lined up that we can

possibly can. Jim Ballinger is getting the letters

out and Peter Diesel will follow up with the

phone calls. Jim Dryfuse and the Degree team

have been doing a great job for our Council. We

are leading the area in new recruits so lets all

keep up the good work.

Dec. 6

is the Fish Fry so please help us out by

working or buying dinner for your family.

Remember Brother Knights the Fish Fry proceeds

fund all the good deeds that we as a Council are

able to do.

Dec. 8

we are having a Blitz at all the Masses

and also we are having a Corporate Communion

at the 10:00 am Mass. Please remember this is a

family event. All Brother Knights and their

families are welcome to walk and sit with us as a

family.

Dec. 15

we are having Pancakes with Santa

after the 10:00am Mass. Please fill out the sheets

with numbers and ages and turn them in so we

can be prepared with the correct gifts from Santa.

Thank You Tom & Sally Higgerson for the help.

Our Spelling Bee winners were 4

- 6

Bonita

Grove and 7

– 9

Kate Adams. They will

receive their prizes at their awards banquet.

When I receive the information I will send them

the information on the next level of competition

to be held at Bethany House. I know they will do

great.Good Luck !!!

March 30

, 2003 we will be hosting a major

degree at Holy Redeemer. So there is no reason

all our Knights should not be 3

Degrees.

Dec.17

is our Christmas Party. 6:00 pm.

Social. Dinner at 6:30. Bring desserts and we

have a white elephant gift exchange. Lots of fun

so join us.

I am seeing many new faces at the meetings.

So if you haven’t been to a meeting in a while

don’t be embarrassed because we really want to

see you.

In closing , I would like to wish everyone a

Merry Christmas from my Family to Yours.

Dear Worthy News Editor,

I write from the Cub Recorder desk to bring

out the Truth. In the beginning efforts to found

our council 10170 a very important person is

being forgotten. In fact so important is this

person that if he did not do his part our council

may not exist today. He would have been our

founding Grand Knight. Now I know what you

think. Who is this person? Well to start, he

talked our first Grand Knight, Brother Robert La

Barge, into coming back to Knights after not

having been in it for a very long time. Since

Robert my father talked me into being a Knight I

will not let the story die or be miss told. His

name started with an S perhaps because he was

super, or maybe because he was superman or

better yet super-knight. Super-Knight was very

much involved in making our first council go.

He brought together people from the Grand Blanc

council and after getting the approval of our

priest Father De Lorenzo life happened. Poor

Super-Knight died. He lit the fire but was not

around to enjoy the warmth of the blaze, or bask

in the glow. But let us not forget the silent

brother knight of council 10170, Stanley

Nemecek. He may have pasted, but his story

passed to me from my father. I now pass on this

story to you. Now you know the beginning of the

story.

Navigators Report

On November 26

the CCW of St John Vianny

has requested the Color Corp for their Memorial

Mass, at 7:00 pm. We will need those that are

members of the Color Corp. to keep this date

open for this annual event.

December 5

is the date of the Fourth Degree

annual Christmas Party. This year rather then go

to a restaurant, we will have the event at Holy

Redeemer Family Life Center. Cocktails will be

served at 6:00pm, with dinner to follow at

7:00pm. The cost will be $5.00 per person. Your

spouse and friends are welcome. We are asking

the spouses to bring your favorite dessert. Also,

we are asking that you RSVP. Please call Jim at

239-1977, and leave on my recorder the name

and number planning to attend by December 1

so we know how much food we will need.

Council 10170 has requested the Color Corp

for their Corporate Communion at the 10:00am

Mass. on December 8

. Please plan to attend.

This was the Council that helped us raise funds

for Assembly.

Next April 4

and

th will be the 4

Degree

Exemplification in Kalamazoo. Anyone planning

on entering the Fourth Degree needs to get their

application in, as soon as, possible. Remember

this is your final step in completing the road

Knighthood. This degree is all about Patriotism.

Express your feeling in joining the Fourth Degree

to a Member, and I am sure they will find you the

appropriate form to fill out.
