Thanks for your Service Thanks to the Knights who assisted in the Adopt-A-Highway litter pick up on Sat, Nov 14th. In
attendance were Brothers PGK Tony Trevino(Chair), DGK David Hobson, Bo
Banowsky, Chris Haskins, Kevinb Eaves, Dan Hoeveler, Gerry Veasey and
son Garrett Veazey, and GK Howard Harbes. With this 9 person crew,
it only took about 90 mminutes to complete the task with 13 bags and a
stack of bulk trash collected. Thanks to all for your service to
the Council and our Community. Sorry for leaving this out in
last weeks Newsletter. Council Turkey Cook last weekend was
a huge success despite the wet weather. On hand for seasoning the
turkeys on Friday night were: Brothers Greg Nemec, Raul DeLeon, Raul
Martinez and son Michael, and GK Howard Harbes. Showing up early
on Saturday (like 3:00AM) were Brothers Greg Nemec, DGK David Hobdson,
Raul DeLeon, Tony Trevino, and Gerry Veasey to get the pits fired up and
birds and breasts loaded for cooking. PGK Marty Gibula and I
showed up a little later in the morning to work thru the distribution of
the smoked and fried turkeys and smoked breasts and assist in the final
cooking. All was finished and cleaned up by 4:00PM with the last
customer picking up about 3:45PM. Thanks to Brother Greg for
planning and procuring the meat for cooking that included a trip to
Austin on Friday for the turkey breasts. Ended up selling about (20)
smoked turkeys, (10) fried turkeys and (26) tuyrkey breasts.
I sampled the breast I purchased after I got home and it was
delicious. Thanks to Brothers who cooked as well as to Brothers who purchased from your Council. As a 2nd project Sat Nov 21st afternoon, DGK David Hobson, Kevin Eaves, Karl Hennings, Abe Ramirez, Vince Finnesey, Chris Donatto, and Ryan Sicking along with 9 youth from Sacred Heart Faith Formation some non-Knights teamed up to clean up Parishioner Vlasta Trahan's back yard. Great team effort by all and a wonderful service for our church. Also thanks to April Hobson and Marilda Hugo for your assistance with Mrs Trahan and calming her fears. Nativity Yard Art Sales
were brisk with lots of interest at the St Faustina Christmas Market
and Sacred Heart Plaza Sales. Even with the extra product produced
we will likely sell out of everything this weekend - or maybe
before. Sorry if you wanted some yard art but did not get
any - maybe you can help next year and insure you get what you
want. Brothers Larry, Art, and I are taking names for next years
Wish List - so let us know. |

make this happen. Give him a call even if you are not on the "A" Team if
you are available to assist.
