NEXT MEETING

We are going to be introduced to the special needs of our Fort Bend children - children who need that extra help, care and attention to pull them up to a basic level at least.  Many have the ability, but no one has given them the interest, the time or the right direction.  Come and hear Mary Grady talk about the needs of mentoring our local children.  She is the Executive Director of the Fort Bend Partnership for Youth.  The talk will start at 7:30 pm, and the regular meeting will follow.  Supper will be served from 7, in the CCE building.  Anyone who needs a name tag, please come to this meeting and give your name to Brother Tom Petrosewicz.

SITUATIONS VACANT

Historian

Charitable organization needs a keeper of its interesting memories.  These include pictures, articles, menus, tickets, certificates.  You do not have to be a book-binder, cinematographer, or journalist, but if you can stick and keep, you can get this job for free.  Please apply to the Council Director at 342-9096 for further details.

The Holder of the Data

Are you interested in people, and their lives, their records (non-criminal), and their dates (not current affairs)? You might just be in line for a detailed, digital destiny.  If you know a database language as well, you are well on your way to becoming the center of the Universe.  Apply to that same old hat of a Council Director who is looking for the above-mentioned history buff.  We want just the facts man, just the facts, on a computer.

Photographer

Anyone with a camera?  Please offer yourself to be the official preserver of occasions, events and people, happy, solemn and festive incidents of our council’s history.  Get your pictures into the Herald Coaster, the Texas Knight, and our archives.  We need someone to be where the action is and record it for posterity.  Please call the same old same-old as above, 342-9096.

INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS

It is interesting to see an old year end, and a new year begin.  This is what the Knights of Columbus do every July.  We lose the old officers, and swear the new officers in.  Luckily many of the faces keep looking the same.  On Sunday, July 19^th, at 11o’clock, in the Sacred Heart Chapel, your new regime was installed.  This entailed a very detailed specification of the expectations from every officer, and his acceptance to do the best for the Council and for the whole organization, for his family and for the community.  Your new officers have promised to run this council in a good and efficient manner, to do their best for the Columbian movement and for their fellow knights.  This promise was made before God, and before their families.  This gave a great feeling of fraternity, fellowship and family involvement, and an expectation of very successful service by their devoted support. We belong to a great national movement and we will do our part to help it in its quest for Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.  The outgoing District Deputy, Johnny Jedlicka, conducted the ancient ritual, and the new District Deputy, Bob Yur, gave the blessing of the Chaplain.  Thank you Johnny  for your years of service to this area’s community of knights and your help and constant attention to our Council, and welcome Bob to a long and happy association.

After the ceremonies, an officers’ family luncheon was held at La Cocina.  Our departing Grand Knight, Glenn Nohavitza (now to be known as Worthy Past Grand Knight) thanked all those who had served for the past year.  He paid a special tribute to the past Warden, Bryan “Bubba” Meyer, who has been in charge of every barbecue, been there for the Fish Fry, the Breakfast with Santa, organized Christmas on Morton Street, and sat up all night with his briskets and ribs, and sold a record number for the Fathers’ Day Brisket Sale, and kept us well refreshed at all our various meetings.  Bryan was named the Knight of the Year, and presented with a commemorative clock.
