Message from the Grand Knight
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season. We celebrated with family in Kansas City and then traveled to Baltimore to visit Carol’s family. We have the opportunity to visit both sides of our families, and have a lot of fun.
The JANUARY 10th MEETING IS AT EDDIES FOR THE KNIGHTS AND WIVES DINNER. We will serve a fabulous meal ($20.00 each) and have the 7th-8th grade show choir from St. Bernadette to provide some entertainment. The calling tree will be contacting you soon. I’m looking forward to this event and hope for a good turnout.
On January 8th we have our Free-Throw Contest in the gym; if you would like to help out please contact me. Finally, don’t forget that we have a Pancake Breakfast on February 5th.
I wish everyone a HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
Rick West, GK
Pancake Breakfast
We are planning a pancake breakfast for Sunday morning, February 5, in the STM Social Hall from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. We had originally planned on holding this event on January 29, but had to change the date due to griddle availability. So this will be a Catholic Schools Week wrap-up event instead of a kick-off event. The profit from this breakfast will be used to fund a second scholarship for an 8th grade student going on to a Catholic high school.

Knights and Wives Dinner
As noted in the Grand Knight’s message, our annual Knights and Wives Dinner is on Tuesday evening, January 10, at Eddie’s in South Omaha. The social begins at 5:30 PM with dinner around 6:30 PM. Meal price is $20 per person (make checks payable to Knights of Columbus). This event replaces our regular monthly meeting. We are beginning our social hour at 5:30 PM so that Fr. Lewis can join us for a while before he must leave for another event. Please call Rick West or Greg Burrows if you have not yet been contacted by the calling tree.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Program
As described in last month’s newsletter, our Council will be participating in the Our Lady of Guadalupe Prayer Program at STM Church on Thursday evening, January 5, at 7:00 PM. Please plan on attending this inspiring program.
One Rose One Life
This year our One Rose One Life Campaign will be conducted as a second collection at the week-end Masses on January 21 and 22. The State Council is once again providing special envelopes for this collection (along with the prayer cards) to encourage a generous response. This collection helps many worthy pro-life programs in our state. Your tax-deductible donations (payable to “NE KC Pro-Life Foundation”) are greatly appreciated.
Blood Drive Results
At our blood drive on December 27, we had 21 people show up to give blood and 18 were able to give. In the drawing for a $50 Visa gift card the winning donor was Alice Rischling. This was our 29th blood drive and so far we have collected 716 pints of blood. Our next blood drive will be August 13, 2012..
Dues for 2012
As of December 31 slightly under half of our members have remitted their dues for 2012. If you received a bill and have not yet paid, please send your dues in soon so that you will be eligible for the dues refund drawing at our Knights and Wives dinner. Your timely response also helps us avoid the extra expense of sending out reminder notices.
