VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
RON GRENIER - GRAND KNIGHT
My Brother Knights,
I hope this newsletter finds you all are well.
Hopefully you are enjoying the hot summer and you all had a nice 4th of July.
We have several upcoming events in August which include our council picnic on Sunday August 11th at the Moose Family Center.
Registrations must be received by Saturday, August 3rd so we can have proper amount of food and refreshments (see page 5 in the newsletter).
We also have our monthly spaghetti supper on Wednesday August 14th at 4:30 to 6:30 pm.
The Ladies Guild from St. Patrick’s Church in South Hadley will have desserts and have a raffle that night.
I encourage all my Brother Knights to attend our council meeting, which is the 3rd Monday of the month at 7:00 PM, so you can see all that we do at our council.
We are always looking for volunteers for our Bingos and Spaghetti Suppers.
Vivat Jesus!
Ron Grenier
Grand Knight
Volunteer or the Month for August is Gil Bach.
Gil is at all of our Bingos where he does raffle tickets and is one of our verifiers.
Thank you Gil, for all you do!
