Message from the Grand Knight
Our first Fish Dinner was a great success. We had over 500 dinners served, and we were pretty close on the amount of food needed. I had a few parishioners comment how much they enjoyed the dinner and stated they had a nice time. We were also able to accommodate a number of other fund raising events including the sale of rosaries for the Jubilee, scrip, coffee sales, raffle tickets for Gross High School, 8th grade social fund, men’s club pickles, CD’s, etc. It was almost a mini Peddler’s Market. I think the warmer weather helped to get people out, and socializing. Thanks to all who helped make this successful. Hopefully the next two will be the same.
The Free-Throw District tournament brought 8 STM participants; none were able to advance. The Poster Contest was delivered to State; we will see if we have any winners later. That is all, folks. See you at the next meeting, or Fish Dinner.
Rick West, GK

Fish Dinners – 1 Down, 2 to Go
At our first fish dinner on February 26 we served 527 meals. Most (338) of the diners opted for the two-piece dinner. There were 135 who chose the smaller one-piece dinner and the remaining 54 had the macaroni & cheese. A big “Thank You” to all those who helped make our first fish dinner a success. We hope to see you again at our next two dinners on March 12 and 26. If you have not already volunteered, please do so at our March meeting. Or, you can call Rick West or Greg Burrows to volunteer.
Tootsie Roll Drive
Our Tootsie Roll Drive is coming the weekend after Easter (Friday, April 9 – Sunday, April 11). Please volunteer to help at our March meeting, at our fish dinners, or by contacting Greg Burrows at 346-4081 or e-mail at gburrows1@msn.com.
Buck-a-Month Campaign Results
Thanks to the generosity of both Knights and parishioners we have collected a total of $811.00 in this year’s Buck-a-Month campaign. This total is over $100 more than we collected last year, and this will be a great help to pro-life efforts in Nebraska. The entire amount is forwarded to the state pro-life chair-couple, and half of this money will later be returned to our Council to help fund pro-life projects of our own choosing.
Dues Status
As of February month end we are still looking for dues from 22 members. If you have not yet paid for 2010 (and you are not an Honorary Life member), please send in your dues as soon as possible. If you have any questions about your dues, please contact Greg Burrows at 346-4081 or e-mail at gburrows1@msn.com.
