Dues Notice for Council 7445


Brothers,

In effort to be cost efficient your dues statement will be emailed to you.  If you have not received it by now, please email me to let me know and I will forward you your statement.  I have about 20 without email addresses those I will mail.  We would like to continue this process this way we would be able to use the money saved to go to a charity.  My email is hauslerpaint@att.net.  Thanks for your help.
 
Blessings,
Arthur

Wreaths Across America

Thanks to Brothers Michael Spiech, Kevin Knox (and his daughters), and PGK Howard Harbes who attended the WAA ceremony at Magnolia Cemetery in Katy on Sat, Dec 16.  If anyone else was there sorry we missed you.

This was the first time for the celebration in Katy.  It was initiated by a sophomore (Katelyn Nitsche) from Seven lakes High School and supported by the her school's ROTC, VFW Post 9182, American Legion Post 164, and the city of Katy.  There was a large turnout for being a first time event and a lot easier to get to than the Veteran's Cemetery in Houston. 

Think we need to look at sponsoring this activity for Richmond - maybe Morton Cemetery or Greenlawn.

City Wide Club Drive

Brother Knights, 

We purchased and transported 110+ additional bikes to my shop today!

We are over 200 bikes now!

Best year ever!

There is still this up-coming week until Saturday morning (the 23rd) to collect additional BIKES, CLOTHES, and TOYS.  

We'll be doing one last bike run, one night later in the week, with whatever additional funds come in.

Thank you all for your continued support!
