Notes From The Grand Knight
By Ray LeTourneau, GK.
Vivat Jesus
Greetings to all my Brother
Knights at Co. 10170. We are in our
busy time of the year within our
council. We promised Fr. Bill we
would help support parish functions.
We had a great number of our
Knights at the Mardi Gras party and
I want to thank you for the support.
March 30th we are hosting a
major degree at the Family Life
Center. We will have all 3 degrees. I
need help at this event. Everyone
should dress appropriately for the
occasion.
We are in the middle of our
Lenten fish fries. We need all the
help we can to run these events.
These fish fries are how we raise our
council funds for the year to do all
the good things that we accomplish.
If you cannot help at least come by
and purchase dinners for your
family.
April 11th, 12th, and the 13th
is our Mental Retardation Drive. We
need a lot of help from all the
Knights. I know you will not let me
down.
We always need new
members to join our council. How
many of you have sons or friends
that you have never asked to join our
Order. In my opinion we have the
best council in the state but we need
to grow to insure our future.
Our insurance agent is Kevin
Patterson. His phone # 810- 695-
6352. If you have any questions
please give him a call. They have
many plans and have great programs
and rates. Remember our Order was
founded on taking care of widows
and children.
Keep August 8th open for our
Lug Nuts game. I will pass on the
information as soon as I receive it to
Jim Ballinger. Jim has agreed to
chair this event and for this I want to
thank him for helping me.
August 9th keep it open for
our Bob LaBarge Golf Classic. We
will need people to get teams signed
up to play. We always have a good
time and a good dinner.
I made a booklet on our
"Pancakes with Santa". It contains
articles and pictures of the event. I
mailed it to the State Officers in
consideration for the State Family
Program award.
We will be well represented
at the State Convention in May at the
island. I am the 1st delegate and Tom
Higgerson was elected the 2nd
delegate. I received a letter from
State Deputy George Dann
appointing me to the Credential
Committee at the convention.
In closing I want to thank
everyone who attended the memorial
for Marjorie Ecker. Lets keep Ed
Ecker in our prayers during his time
of grief.
Fraternally Yours,
Ray LeTourneau
