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
