1 Page 1 Brothers, Grand Knights Message For August My first month as Grand Knight has passed quickly. We had our Installa on of Officers. These men have thankfully accepted their posi ons for the benefit of the Council. Please support them along with the Commi eemen throughout the coming year. We also had our Corporate Communion. In August we will celebrate the Assump on of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15, a Holy Day. Remember Mary is our Queen of the Knights. On August 18 we will have our Steak & Brew. The summer will almost be over so why not come down and spend a night with friends. Many mes people ask what I get out of the Knights. My answer is always the same friendships I would not have if it was not for this Council. Please support PGK Eric Potyrala and PGK Jonathan Rinaldi. Looking forward to enjoying an evening together. Our K of C Picnic will be Sunday, Sept. 9. Remember to bring your Rosary to the October mee ng. Fraternally, Wendell Ubelhoer Your Grand Knight
