State Awards:

At the State’s “Mid-Year Meeting,” Council 12119 was the recipient of a couple of awards.

Council 12119 finished 4th in The State’s “Youth Award” category with the execution of our Council’s first annual “Youth Fishing Tournament.”

Council 12119 finished 2nd in The State’s “Church Award” category with the execution of our semi-annual Parish Yard Sale.

The Knight & Family of the Month.

Knight of the Month:

At this time it is my honor & privilege to present the Knight of the Month Award to Brother Peter Majewski. Brother Pete is not just the Webmaster for Our Church’s, Our Council’s, & The 4th Degree Assembly’s web sites; he is also an all around good guy. Brother Pete was recently made aware of a Brother Knight who temporarily needed a place to stay & upon hearing this, Brother Pete selflessly opened up his home to this Brother Knight.

Thank you Brother Pete for your devotion to the prime virtue of Our Order, Charity!

Family of the Month:

At this time it is my honor & privilege to present the Family of the Month Award to the family of Brother Paul Tooley. Brother Paul’s family is involved with Our Church and Council in a number of different ways. Brother Paul has recently become one of the “Night Watchmen” at St. Bernadette. The Tooley Family is always willing to attend & help clean up after most every Pancake Breakfast. Add all of this to the fact that Margret Tooley home-schools EVERY ONE of their NINE children makes them an obvious choice for Council 12119’s Family of The Month.

Thank you Tooley family for your dedication to our Church and the support of Our Council!

My Brothers, as recognized by The Knights of Columbus State Council of North Carolina, Our Council is going EXACTLY what we are supposed to be doing; Serving Our Church, Our Community & Our Order. Thank you gentlemen for all of your collective efforts!

Tommy

21. Report of Standing Committees:

Pancake Breakfasts (Bro. Dave Dillman):

The last pancake breaksfast was the first of several to be held at Applebee’s. Because the tickets are good for several months, the exact profit for the single event cannot be determined. However, an apparent profit of $245 was realized; this considers the number of advance and door tickets sold versus the expenses of $138. This is a positive result considering the weather issues, and relative lack of work required versus the normal breakfasts. This appears to be a viable option for the summer months as well.

Blood Drives (Bro. Dave Dillman):

The next blood drive will be March 18th, 2010 from 3:30PM to 7:00PM. Still at the Church; however, the check in will be in the commons area.

Remember to bring your photo ID

22. Unfinished Business:
