Plans for A Knight Out, the Beverly Knights premier awards dinner are moving forward please keep September 19th free to attend. We are currently seeking nominations for the "Keeper Award". Given yearly by Beverly's Knights, the Keeper is given to that person who has proved by their actions that they are indeed their brother's keeper either by an act of unusual courage or in long term service to the community. If you know of someone who should be recognized for this award please contact DGK Peter Jaquith at peterjaquith@comcast.net or GK Brian Butler at butlersinbeverly@aool.com . 

For the second year Beverly's Knights have the Honor of carrying the canopy at the Corpus Christi procession. Knights Ferde Rombola, Neil Corcoran, Peter Jaquith and Sean McNamarra will attend Father Hocurscak as we process down Cabot Street following the 10:45 Mass at Saint Mary's

Future of Steaks & Stories

Greeting fellow knights,

It is decision time gentlemen.  Steaks and Stories will be held this month on the 26th when we welcome Deacon Jim Greer to speak at the convent. Last month a total of eight men & women showed for the evening. Honestly this level of support cannot continue. If we do not have 20 to 25 people committed to attending then this will be the end of this very worthwhile series.  It is time for this Council and this collaborative to decide if they are going to support S & S or if it will go by the wayside.

The Nomination requests have gone out to the surrounding towns for nominations for the Keeper Award. We have rented the K of C hall in Salem for the night of the 19th of September. It's time to start looking for donations for the silent auction. we need a sub committee to handle the auction. When nominations start to come in we'll need to meet to decide on and invite one or more nominees.

Our membership drive at St. Johns last month netted no new members. James Butler made his 1st degree on May 13th up in Gloucester. Let's keep thinking new members please, one new member per member per year is the goal.

Thank you, Vivat Jesus, Brian GK
