THE GRAND KNIGHT SEZ:  Brother Knights, I want to welcome and thank Fr. Walter Austin as our newest member and also as our chaplain.  He is extremely busy and we appreciate his taking the time to be with us. ….Brothers, we are moving along with our programs.  Your help is necessary to keep things rolling. The installation, as you know, as been postponed.  It will be held on Saturday August 13^th.  The whole set up is the same.  If you have not yet paid and want to attend please contact GK Charlie at 908-1510. If you have suggestions or comments, please make them known.  I intend to hold monthly committee meetings to enhance and encourage our programs.  Hopefully, this will make our business meetings run smoothly and more efficiently, other changes are in the works. Pay attention to the meeting dates in September.  Because of the annual Rosary March on the date of Our Lady’s birthday we will move the business meeting to the next week the 15^th.

 

LADIES’ AUXILIARY NEWS:   Dear ladies, this will be my second month as your president.  I know I will enjoy working with such a great group of people.  The date of the installation dinner is August 13^th starting with 4PM Mass followed by the ceremony and dinner at Scaffani’s ….Our next meeting will be on August 11^th at 7PM.  Remember Bonco Beauties on August 29^th; time and place to be announced.  God Bless each of you.  Love, Nettie.

 

HAIL AND FAREWELL:  we welcome Fr. Walter Austin to our ranks as member and chaplain as the worthy Grand Knight says above.  You should know that Fr. Austin is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and is also the State Chaplain for the Army Reserves.  He has been a knight for some time and wish him well as we seek his guidance and prayers.  Brother Al Miester has done a great job keeping us spiritually fit and we thank him so much  . . . We also regretfully acknowledge the resignation of Brother Johnnie Babineaux as Financial Secretary.  Johnnie has served us well and wishes to move on to bigger things in the Fourth Degree with the St. Bernard Assembly.  We wish Johnnie well and support his decision.  He is not leaving us he is expanding his Columbian experience.  . . We also welcome our newest Financial Secretary, Brother Dookie Dauphin.  Dookie has accepted the position and looks forward to working with the council and keeping us on our fiduciary course.  Dookie has held this office before and is quite familiar with its duties.  All he needs is the confirmation from Supreme to begin his work. 

 

SPECIAL ELECTIONS:  Because of a change in Brother Leroy’s work scheduled he asked to step down at DGK.  As a result Brother Clarence Carline has asked to step up to DGK from Chancellor.  Therefore, we will have an election to the posts of Deputy Grand Knight and Chancellor at the August meeting. That is to say: nominations and election.

 

                   Fr. Michael McGivney:    Pray for Us.

 

 

FRATERNAL NOTES:  Please remember our prayers are offered for Adrian Amadeo, Kay Sullivan, Rita Blanchard and Frank Olivari.   Brother Ty Dolese is doing fine however, GK Charlie Cambise had surgery again. Please pray for their speedy recovery.  Please keep Brother Dave Hemelt the GK of Rummel in your prayers.  ….Dennis Cass of Metro fame and a member of Fr. Seelos Council was hospitalized as a result of a mild heart attack and is resting at home. . . PSD Ed Bonnett has an infection and was hospitalized as of this writing.….Always remember to donate blood whenever you can.  It is patriotic and can save a life.
