We began a new Fraternal Year July 1st. Hopefully, everyone rested and stayed cool during July. We have a busy and exciting year ahead of us and I look forward to sharing it with you all.
It was so nice to see everyone last night at our monthly meeting. With no meeting in July, and me missing the meeting in June (due to my surgery) it seems like forever since I spent time with my brother Knights. I apologize for forgetting to put out the refreshments I had. 🙁
By passing the hat we collected $150 for the family we talked about receiving help from St Vincent dePaul. Our members never cease to amaze me with their generosity of time, talent and treasure.
When I was contacting Julie Kamal to make sure she would be at SVdP this morning to receive your generous contribution she told me that whe was having surgery Saturday. Please pray for Julie and for her successful procedure and recovery.
While we’re on the subject of SVdP. I received this list of client needs from Julie.
- Dry Spaghetti
- Canned Corn
- Soup
- Canned Chili
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Toothbrushes
- Toothpaste
- Breakfast Bars
- Peanut Butter
- Mixed Vegetables
- Canned Green Beans

Fraternally,
