Personal Thank You

I sincerely wish to thank everyone who helped to make our FishFry last Friday a great success. Especially the all the spouses for their assistance in the kitchen preparing the plates and seeing that all the interior operations ran smoothly. Not to mention the wonderful deserts they made for us all to enjoy. Thank you one and all  for one super terrific job.  

I am especially proud of the way we came together to sovle the power problem, and the one out fryer to still get the job done. What a great example of teamwork.

Our customers raved out the food Friday evening and were still talking about it yesterday in the Gathering Space telling us and all their friends on how terrific the food was. I gave up counting on how many told me it was the best tasting fried fish they ever had. Looks like the batter tasting committee made the right choice. Thank you committee for taking one of evenings to be a part of that process.

Thank You All,

Sincerely,

Up coming Reminders

This Friday February 19th is our First Lenten Fish Fry of the Year. A lot has changed since last year to improve the quality of our fish dinners. We will be using our new electric fryers to cook the fish and the fries. We will be using a new batter, which won the taste test competition we held. The test was a blind competition and all the judges agreed this batter was an outstanding choice for taste and crunchiness.

We are still looking for help since the FF's require more hands then the breakfast. Bring your wife it is also a great time for the wife's socialize and be involved. I also understand that some will not be able to volunteer but you can still support the council by coming and having dinner and talking it up to your friends and neighbors.

Saturday Feb 20th is the councils turn at Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen we will need 6 to 8 Knights for approximately 3 hours roughly 10 to 1. 

A week from Sat. Feb. 27th is our winter blood drive from 11 to 3 PM we will be in the Gathering space again this weekend doing sign ups. Remember all the blood collected remains in our area to help you, your family and friends. Many people do not realize that the need for blood and blood products actually increases in the winter months and supply dwindles due to weather. If you cannot make the February 27th date you can donate at the Community Blood Center from now to the 14th of March and it will count toward our drive. All you have to do when you donate is give them the following number 51101-35418.

There is no greater gift you can give during lent then helping to save someone's life with the gift of blood.

On Sat. March 5th the SC Mens Conference will be held at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Goose Creek, SC. You can register on line at  www.sccatholicmensconf.org Dan trick is organiziing a van trip contact him if you are interesting in car pooling.

On March 13th from 2 to 4:30 we will be celebrating the Councils 40 th Anniverary in the Parish Center. Please RSVP to me our Ray Howard if you and your spouse /guest plan on attending.

The council will be presenting a specially etched wine glass to commorate our 40th anniversary to the remaining charter members and their wives. We will have a limited amount of these beautiful glasses remaining if you would like to purchase one or two of these glasses contact me to reserve yours. The price is $6.00 each, get yours before they are sold out.

Worthy Grand Knights,

 

Please pass this along to your members.  After you see the video, you will become a more of a believer of one of the tenants of our faith.

 

Think about this the next time you receive the Eucharist.  Once a priest consecrates the host, during mass, it changes.

"Is it really the body of Christ?"
