Grand Knight's Column -- March

Brothers,
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism; the four precepts of Knighthood. The first is Charity and that is for a very good reason. We are first and foremost a charitable organization that defines itself through good works. We also are dedicated to insuring the welfare of our brother Knights. We choose to socialize with those who have similar values as ourselves. We are truly a unique organization because we are a Fraternal organization in service to the Catholic Church.

On Tuesday April 12th you have chance as a Knight to support Vocations to the Priesthood by attending the 2nd Annual Dinner banquet honoring the priests of the St. Charles Deanery at the Columns Banquet Center. The evening starts at 6:00pm with Dinner at 7:00pm. This years keynote speaker is Raymond Burke Archbishop of St. Louis. If you interested in attending please email me back as quickly as you can, last year the event was a sellout and it was very well supported by the Knights councils in St. Charles county.

I would like to ask your support in a couple of other areas also. Glenn Korando is wrapping up plans for the Easter Carnival and Egg Hunt at Sts. J&A is Saturday March 26. He still needs donations of small gifts and a few workers to help out the day of the event. You can reach Glenn at 636-928-9144 or @ korando@concentric.net .

We are also finishing up the main season at the Family Arena and we are about to start UMB Pavilion for 2005. These two events fund our over head for the council and allow us to make donations to many different charities. Please consider taking a shift when you are contacted by email or phone. Many hands make light work!

John Breneman still needs help working the parking lot at Sts. J&A during the parish expansion. Please drop John a note or give him a call and let him know that you would be willing to help even if you can't do it every week you might be able to give another brother Knight a week off. You can reach John at 636-422-1691 and @ john@brenemangomez.com .

Thankyou for your time ,

Dave Meglio
