Council Motion
Vote Posting/Notification

 

At the March Regular Council Meeting (March 10th), a discussion was tabled by Brother Larry Stryk on the Council providing the materials and labor to provide stone borders and mulching for the 13 memorial trees on the east side of the CCE Building and 2 other memorial trees on the west side of the church.  Rework on any of the Memorial plaques as required is also included in this project. Father Joe's and Parish approval is required before any work can proceed.  Officers spent the past 2 weeks getting cost detail for this project.

 

At the March 24th Council Business meeting an estimate of about $100 per tree was presented to the Council for all materials.  Based on this information and the fact that this was not a budgeted item for this fiscal year, a motion was made by Brother John Burkett and seconded by Brother Raul Martinez to allocate  $1500 in funds to perform this project pending approval from Father Joe and Sacred Heart Parish.  Funds to cover this will be taken from the money raised at the Lenten Fish Fry events. 

 

Based on this motion and the requirement that any expenditure of non budgeted items above $250 must be voted on by the council in a Council Business Meeting after notice being posted for 30 days prior, the first notice of the motion of expenditure was posted on March 25th via a KC News Blast.  A vote will be taken after discussion at the next Council Business Meeting to take place on April 28th.  Discussion on this will also occur at the April 14th Regular Council Meeting and before the vote if necessary

  

Please attend the April 28th Business meeting for discussion and vote on this motion for expenditure of a non budgeted item. Father Joe gave his approval for this action at the Fish Fry on March 27th.  The approval of this project will let the Council give back to Sacred Heart Parish the gifts that have been shared with us - Let us be worthy of this trust.


April Service Opportunities   

 

On April 21st, an Officers Meeting will be held in the CCE Building, Room 10.  ALL Council Members are invited to attend this and all planning sessions.

 

April 25th will be the date of Father-Daughter Dance as sponsored by Council 7445 and supported by SSMM.  Brother PGK Rickey Constantine is leading the charge on "An Evening in Paris" themed event with support by Brother Larry Stryk in creating a Parisian décor with street cafes and other points of interest.  Brother Brian Gibula will be providing the tunes for dancing .  Ticket sales are officially closed but I am sure Brother PGK Rickey (713 402-8169) will be available if tickets are needed.  Cost is $20 per Father regardless of the number of Daughters/Granddaughters. 

Brother PGK Rickey and Brother Larry are in need of help with set-up and tear down of the decorations. Set Up will start at 8:00AM on Saturday.  Please assist if you can.
 

 

Council Officer Election time is on us as the new fiscal year approaches.  There are several officer positions openings and now is your chance to replace the brash Grand Knight.   Please contact Brother Mark Stryk if you have any interest.  Officer Elections will take place at the May 26th Council Business meeting with the slate having to be formalized at the April 28th Council Business Meeting.  Please consider serving your Brothers and the Council.

 

Please look at your calendar and please schedule family and/or your time to support the Parish and Council events.
