August 2010 Grand Knight's Message
Brothers,
I am
honored and humbled by your confidence in me to be your Grand Knight for
the Fraternal year of 2010-2011.
Thank you and bless you!
I am looking forward to a great year of fraternal service to our
church, council, community and families.
Over the past few months I have seen and experienced our
membership’s enthusiasm during our activities.
It is extraordinary!
Never forget for a moment that every action, whether it’s reading at
Mass, helping with Hoagie sales, taking the time to assist a neighbor
with a fix-up project, or whatever you do serves to bring us closer to
the Godhead through service to our fellow human beings.
We still
have several needs in the council, so if you’re looking for ways to
assist, please contact me.
Sadly, we also have approximately 40 members who have not yet paid their
dues. I urge you to contact
our Financial Secretary to ensure your dues are up to date.
I also urge you to contact our Worthy Field Agent, Dan Garrigan,
to take advantage of the fraternal benefit of our insurance program, if
you’ve not already done so.
We are strong because of our programs, members, and insurance.
We need to remain strong in all three areas so we can continue to
make a difference in our Parish and community.
Our State
Deputy, Bill McCarthy wants to renew our commitment to Our Lady and is
asking Virginia Knights and their families to pledge to pray 1 Million
rosaries for Life, Family, and Marriage.
The goal for our council is:
Daily –
44 Monthly –
1320 Quarterly –
3960 Annual -
15840
I will
have the pledge cards available at our next meeting, July 20, 2010 as
well as posted to the website soon.
I hope to
see all of you at our next meeting and remember … I am at your service.
Queen of the Nights, Pray for Us!
Ron Dean, Grand Knight
