State Deputy Peter Healy will be present at our next Council 175 Business Meeting coming up on April 13th. His purpose is to present Council 175 with an award for our success in increasing membership last year. I hope all will attend and ask that we present ourselves in proper attire. Jack Decourcy suggests good business casual at the least. It's important that we can run a "proper" business meeting by then So I hope all offices, especially the Inside & Outside Guards, the DGK the FS, Recorder, Warden and Treasurer will get together with me either before or after our afternoon speakers event with Father Hennessey on the 6th. We will all be there already and 20 minutes invested will really help.
Tickets for our Spring 50/50 raffle are already being sold at Masses all over town, please make sure you contact Peter Jaquith, peterjaquith@comcast.net, to get your first 100 tickets. They are selling well, most people seem to want to part with $20 for our cause. They are one for $5, three for $10 and ten for $20. Last years winner took home more than $800 and we used our share to support the youth group as well as Saint Mary's and Saint John's Schools. The drawing will take place on April 6th after our Steaks & Stories with Father Hennessey.
I need a committee to, or just let me know, appoint a slate of offices for next year. You can nominate yourself for any office or have another do so. My term as Grand Knight will be over and I will take my place as the 1st year Trustee. I will be nominating Peter to take my place and have heard from Financial Secretary Mike Talo that he will be remaining in his position( the Financial Secretary has a usual term of 3 years) for the coming year. We have done and will continue to do Great Things in the City of Beverly. Please prayerfully consider what you are able to give to our Council in terms of time and service. We do well to remember, He can never be out given in generosity.
Vivat Jesus, Brian
