Martchink Surgery Goes Well
The First Surgery was Wednesday, this was the ablation part. This surgery is designed to “”Burn-Off”” the additional electrical connections or impulses that caused the heart to beat out of rhythm – top of heart beating at 188 beats per minute verse the bottom of the heart beating at 70 beats per minute.
To many chiefs and not enough Indians to carry the load.
The Second Surgery was Thursday afternoon - this was for the implant of a Pacemaker-Defibrillator.
Initially, we were under the impression that everything would be done at the same time first surgery took 4 hours 10 minutes to “”clean up”” the miss fires and other testing. The second was just under 3 hours, so I was on the table for a little over 7 hours.
There was some minor problems at first, but the Tech from Medtronic’s came in around 8.00PM Thursday Evening an made some adjustments in the Pacemaker-Defibrillator. He put a Modem over the Pacemaker-Defibrillator and made the necessary adjustments. In a couple of weeks I get a device to attaché to the bedroom phone that will monitor the heart at night or whenever I get within 12 feet,
I have to wear a sling on my left arm for the next few weeks, current plans are back to driving and other activities in 3 weeks.

Prayers Needed for Clifton Family
It is very uncharacteristic for me to ask for anything; however, I was wondering if you could ask the knights to pray for my wife and sister and for support to the families (kids, siblings and parents).
My wife, Kathy Clifton, is in advanced stages of ovarian cancer and not doing well at all. My sister was recently told that her pancreatic cancer has spread to her liver and has been given 6-12 months.

Spaghetti Dinner Approaching
Don't forget that in place of the July meeting we are having a Spaghetti Dinner.
One of the main reasons for doing this dinner is becase it has been to long since we last did one and the director's decided that doing it on a meeting night might make it easier for those with families to attend along with their families.
We will have our meeting at 7 p.m. and it will be brief and we will shoot to start the spaghetti dinner at 7:30. The diner will also include a very short program that will include a little presentation on what the council does, so our families have a better idea of what we are doing while we are away from home, and also to present the Knight of the Year award.
Make sure to invite all of your family and other friends who might make good knights, they can even invite their families too.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Spaghetti Dinner Set for July 17 -- Everyone Welcome
It was decided at the June director’s meeting that we needed to do another spaghetti dinner since it has been way too long since our last one.
After some discussion of possible dates it was ultimately decided that we will hold the spaghetti dinner on July 17, which is the date for the July meeting. Families are encouraged to attend the event, which will get under way at 7:30 p.m. We will have a short (10-15 minute) program which will talk about what the Harvester Knight’s do as a council and we will also be presenting the Knight of the Year award at the dinner. If you have nominations for the KoY award you can bring them to the July director’s meeting. Please make sure you invite your family to this event. We will have a short business meeting at 6:45 to discuss any matters that need to be raised at the regular meeting and then adjourn to join our families for the spaghetti dinner at 7:30. All events will take place at the Cottleville KofC hall.
Please do your best to attend the meeting and please invite your wife or significant other and any other family members, this will be a family-friendly event. We have a First Degree scheduled for June but if you know of any possible future Knights that can’t make the June meeting the July spaghetti dinner would be an ideal time to invite them to have fellowship with the council and families.
Hope to see everyone and their families at this wonderful event.

Bob Sage Update
Update on my Dad...he is still in the ICU but is doing much better.
The doctors took him off of the oxygen and the heart monitors and are still giving him antibiotics and inhalers to battle the pneumonia. He was able to get into regular clothes today (Sunday 5/14) and get up to take walks around ICU. They still don't know yet why he doesn't have much energy and he still has a test scheduled for Monday at Noon. Hopefully after the test or early Tuesday they'll release him to come home.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, we've passed them onto Dad and he appreciates them all.
I will keep you posted on his progress.
Again, on behalf of Dad and Mom and the rest of the family...thank you for your prayers.

Thanks for your help and understanding.
Sincerely,
Glenn Korando

Easter Carnival Smashing Success
I would like to extend my extreme gratitude to all of you, your wonderful family members and friends, which helped put on one of our most successful Easter Carnivals to date. With out the generous help provided by you, the event would be nonexistent!
Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I heard from a multitude of parents as they were leaving, just how wonderful this year’s event was, and its all thanks to you. I hope that I can count on each and every one of you for next year’s event.
Please keep in mind that suggestions are always welcome and that I am currently looking for an assistant. As this event continues to grow it is becoming harder and harder to do alone. Please, anyone interested in assisting with the family directorship, contact me at 636-928-9144 or 314-570-8139 anytime. God bless you all!
My greatest respect and admirations goes out to you all,
Sincerely,
Glenn Korando
EDITOR'S NOTE: A special note of thanks goes out to Glenn Korando for all the hard work and organizing efforts he put into not only this year's Easter Carnival but all of the last three or four that he has done. Glenn does a wonderful job of making sure all the advanced details are taken care of and rounding up volunteers to make sure the event goes off without a hitch, which it certainly did this year. Good job once again Glenn, and we thank you so much for spearheading this event, photos will be updated soon from the Easter Carnival.
