Please Keep Young's in Your Prayers
For those of you who haven't heard yet, please keep Barry and Sue Young in your prayers. The Young's home in Spencer Creek subdivision suffered a major fire on Thursday evening which destroyed the second level of their home (the level where their bedrooms, clothes, and other personal items were located). Thankfully no one was hurt in the fire and Barry, Sue, Thomas and Maddi all are OK. Also the Young's insurance company has stepped up and done a fabulous job finding them temporary housing at a local hotel until they can secure more short-term housing in an apartment while repairs are being done on their home, which the insurance company says could take as long as 12 weeks.
At this time Barry has said that the family is being accommodated by the insurance company and they were able to get replacement clothes and other essentials on Friday. But we ask that you still keep the entire Young family in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with aftermath of the home fire. Barry did want to pass on regards to everyone and thank all of the Brother Knights who have been calling to enquire about their well being and ask what assistance could be offered to them. He said he is very thankful for everyone's support and gives great thanks to God that no one in the family was hurt.
Let us give thanks to the Lord for the Young's safety and please keep them in your prayers over the upcoming months.

Free Throw Contest Winners Honored
The council had five different winners at its Free Throw Contest for boys and girls aged 10-14 in late January.The group advanced to the District Free Throw contest where they were presented with trophies from Grand Knight Dan Breneman and Deputy Grand Knight Kevin Smith.
The five winners were:
Shelby Mueller in the 10 year-old girls division
Dustin Weber in the 10 year-old boys division
Jake Stumpf in the 11 year-old boys division
Emily Echele in the 11 year-old girls division
Elizabeth Knobbe in the 14 year-old girls division.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Unfortunately all the Council winners were unable to advance out of the district contest, with all of them having great showings and losing out by only 1 or 2 made free throws against their fellow shooters. Thanks again to all those who participated and we will see you all again at the gym next year.
