40 Cans for Lent - Week 4
The support for Week 4 of 40 Cans for Lent was down from the overwhelming results from last week.  Per Helping Hands, the Parish donated 868 pounds to their stock this week.  That makes 4,023 pounds in 4 weeks That is over 2 TONS OF GIVING THAT THE PARISH HAS SHARED WITH OUR COMMUNITY.  Parish participation had been fantastic - have you joined in?  Thanks to all who supported the call thus far - keep it up, if possible.  Can we get this back up to over 1,000 lbs per week for each of the 2 remaining weekends?   
Call Brother Karl Henning (832-729-7983) if you can assist in the collection process at Sat Vigil or 1 or more of the 4 Sunday masses.   
Council BBQ Cook
Thanks to BBQ Lead Brother Greg Nemec and the great Cook Crew of Jared Strnadel, Ken Kelley, and Jaime Hernandez (Bean Man) for all of the great cooking and Brother David Hobson for the Cook Team breakfast preparation.  Also assisting in the sales were Michael Spiech, Jaime Hernandez, Rickey Constantine, and Art Hausler.  A couple of other Brother Knights stopped by but right now I can't come up with names - appreciate the help and sorry I missed your names.  BBQ Sales (and Mass attendance) were pretty slow compared to normal volumes on a cook weekend, but that will happen occasionally.  Richmond Fire Department received a donation of Chicken and Beans from the council.   Left over cooked chickens will be sold for $5 at the Council meeting tomorrow night.  Supply is limited. These birds have not been frozen so only require being heated up.  May have some sausage for sale as well.  Have to come to see what is left. 
 
Thanks to the cooks, sales help, and purchasers for your support.   
Lenten Fish Fry #4
Thanks for all the support from Brother Knights and their wives at the Lenten Fish Fry on Fri, Mar 4th.  Due to prior commits some key players were out but Brothers (and Wives) stepped up to fill in the gaps.  Outstanding support and a lot of fraternity and hard work was shown by all present.  Record 417 plates were served at this event. Where were you?  Hope to see YOU on Friday, Mar 11th for Fry #5.  There was considerable assistance from ACTS Brothers and Sisters and SSMM Ladies.  Please consider joining the community effort for Council 7445 and Sacred Heart ACTS and SSMM.
