|  Grand Knight's Message
Greetings Brother Knights,
My
term as Grand Knight is coming to an end as Bob Dyer and I exchange
positions. Notice that I didn’t use “jobs” as I find being active in
the Knights fun.
Bob brings new ideas and energy which will keep
our council fresh and vibrant. Bob has also been a big part of our
success this year and I look forward to helping him when appropriate. I
hope not to be a Past Grand Knight who forgot the definition of the
word “past”.
My hat also goes off to Dan Remeika the editor and
publisher of this organas well as FS Mark Baker who keeps us in good
stead with our bosses. All of our officers pitched to make this fiscal
year successful and I am grateful to every one of those good and
faithful leaders. Most have committed to another year of service.
Please join us for our annual Summer Party on August 8th and meet all of the officers.
We
added 15 new members this fraternal year with the one month of June
remaining. Most of the new brothers are members of St. Mary and St.
James parishes. We anticipate much growth from both parishes which
bodes well for the success and future of our council. I expect our
members to be called upon to help on various church projects, so stop
by and enjoy one of our meetings to see where your talents can best be
utilized.
Well, it’s time to go. Please allow meto leave you with my favorite Irish blessing.
May those who love us, love us And those who don’t love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn’t turn their hearts Make He turn their ankles So we’ll know them by their limping.
Slainte,
Tomas O’Cinne’ide Grand Knight
