By Grand Knight John Brugger

Last month, we sold out our Annual Children’s Charity Golf Tournament.  This month at the October meeting we will announce the results of the money raised, which promises to set records on the amount contributed for this event. We will be presenting checks to our two charities, Ascension Little School and Academy St. Louis.  We will also present a check to our Ladies Auxiliary thanking them for their help and support of this event.

October is also the time when the Knights support our annual Developmental Disability (Tootsie Roll) Drive. Many Knights were engaged to help cover all the exits after mass to solicit donations and again at the exits of Schnuck’s and Dierberg’s.  The results are still being tabulated but rough estimates suggest we will surpass last year’s donations and were able to exceed our goal of $8,000 because of your generosity and time. A special thank you goes to Mike Pfeifer and the captains who did a great job: Bob Claus, Dan Duffy, Ron Meier and Ted Naegel.

November is the month when we remember our Knights and Ladies who have passed with our Annual Memorial Mass. Please plan to join us for Mass at 6:30 PM Tuesday, November 21. Our monthly Council meeting will follow at 7:30 PM in the MPR.

Save the Date: Our annual Christmas Party is planned for Saturday evening, December 16.  A catered event is being planned and Bob Jenkins will again be providing the music and entertainment with a special appearance by Santa Claus.
