Planning for "A Knight Out"

Good news fellow Knights, The Family of Martin Richard has given us their full endorsement for our A Knight Out fundraiser. Thursday night the 15th of August Brian, Peter & Neil met with the present & past GK's of the Salem Council and planning for the event really started. Our knight out will feature live music, catered buffet and a silent Auction.
I need someone to head up the donation end of the silent auction right away. We will be collecting and cataloging donations from many councils so someone with an extra room and good organization skills is a must.
I have invited GK's and DGK's from thirteen area councils to attend our next planning meeting on August 29, all Knights are welcome to come and contribute.
See you all at the business meeting this Thursday.
Vivat Jesus, Brian

Update from Grand Knight Brian Butler

Greetings fellow knights, good news. At our last business meeting we decided to explore the costs associated with providing Fr. Barnes a new set of vestments for his college ministry.  Brother Knight Bill Rosser went to explore this with Andrew Lane in Peabody, found a donor who paid the entire cost and made the purchase.  At our business meeting this Sunday, Aug 11 at 6pm, we will discuss when and how to present these to our former Chaplain.

New news, I made a tour of the former St. Margaret's School (used most recently by the Waldorf School) with Fr. Mahoney and Peter on Saturday.  His immediate needs are the removal of a rug from the school hall and removing and capping off the two wet sinks in the same hall.  This is about 20 hours of work for one man, 10 hours for two 5 hours for 4 or a real short couple of hours for a group.  Many, many painting opportunities exist and can be dealt with as an on going program for the Knights.  We have offered in person to help the parish with this.

Is anyone available for a work project this Saturday, Aug 10?  I'll be contacting Fr. Mahoney for access so I can remove the sinks.  Any one who wants to work can email me at grandknight175@aol.com and we'll arrange times.

Vivat Jesus
Brian
