April Fundraisers Do Well For Council
A trio of non-traditional fund raisers that concluded in April netted the Harvester Council more than $2,000 combined.
The council raised $800 in its raffle for the 42 inch HD TV and made another $400-plus by working security at the Tartan Days festival in St. Charles. The fund raising for the first part of the month ended on Good Friday when the council made $1,250 by working a fish fry for the employees of Client Services Inc. in St. Charles.
A special thanks goes out to all the Knights who sold tickets for the raffeled or volunteered their time to work the festival or the fish fry. There were a select few that did all three and a specail note of thanks goes out to those Knights.
The month isn't over though as the Poker Knight will conclude our month of rund raisser with a $25 buy-in tourney scheduled for April 21 at the Harvester Lion's hall.

Final Call for Tartan Days Security Force
Knights
If you are going to be working security this weekend at the Tartan Days festival please shoot me an e-mail in the next day or two with what shifts you want to work and we can start to fill out the shifts. Whatever we can’t fill by Wednesday we will turn over to our partner group but that also means money lost for the council (they are going to be paying us $10 an hour to work this so it is good money for a fundraiser).
In case you forgot here is the time of the festival
Friday, March 30 5-10 p.m.
Saturday March 31, 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m.
Sunday April 1, Noon-5 p.m.

Council to Provide Security for Tartan Days Festival
Knights
We have been approached by a group putting on a festival down at Frontier Park in St. Charles to work security for their event on March 30-April 1.
All we would be responsible for is to ensure that patrons coming into the park, or those leaving the park, don’t have beer with them. They are allowed to have beer only on the park grounds and there are 5 entry points that we have been asked to staff. The council can potentially make over $1,000 for the entire weekend but I don’t want to commit until I have an idea of how many guys would be willing to work. We need at least one person per gate for the weekend but would like to get 7 people for the 5 gates for each shift. Shifts will be broken up into two hour increments. This could be a great fundraiser for the council but again, we won’t commit unless we know we can staff a large part of it. We have a potential partner to fill in the gaps that we can’t staff, but anything they fill will mean money lost for the council. This could be a good way to offset costs of the upcoming softball season as the council no longer can afford to pay for league fees. If we get enough softball players we will consider using a portion of the proceeds to help subsidize the softball fees.
You don’t have to commit to an exact shift, but the times that we need workers for are listed below. If you think you can work a portion of the weekend just let me know so we can get an idea of participation levels.
FYI, this is a Scottish festival so it should be a good time if you want to work the event and bring the family down to see the festival. We need to give them an answer probably by the end of this week so let me know if you think you would be able to help out or not.

Free Throw Contest Draws Record Crowd
On Friday January 19th the annual Free Throw Contest was held at the Sts. Joachim and Ann gymnasium. We had 60 children attend the event for kids ages 10-14. This is the largest crowd we have had in all of the 10 years that I have been the chair person of the event. However, I can take none of the credit for the increase in the crowd size. A huge thank you goes to brother Tom Rothermich and to Dennis Henderson who publicized the event through the J& A basket ball teams. I believe that a good time was had by all of the kids that attended. A special thank also goes out to all of the brothers that helped out with the event. Rich A., Dan B., John B., Rich S., Tom R., Kevin S., Barry Y., if I am missing someone else I apologize.
The winners of the event are listed below and each of them will participate in the District competition at Duchene on February 5th.
Thanks, Melvin
