FROM THE GRAND KNIGHT - John Bowsman:
Grand Knight’s Letter July 2016
Brother Knights,
As we begin a new Fraternal Year on July 1, 2016, we also look back on a very successful past year for
Father Maher Council #648 with Grand Knight, Frank Herrington, at the helm. We commend him for his
leadership which resulted in another "Star Council" year getting several new programs started of which
we all can be proud. Thank you to Brother Alfred Aviles, who has served in the position of Financial
Secretary the past three years, for a job well done.
I am excited about my role as Grand Knight for the coming 2016-2017 year and thank all of you for your
trust and support. Deputy Grand Knight, Joe Loewenguth, and other new officers will be a great help in
completing the following programs and goals for the following year:
Continue our community and family programs (Basketball Free-throw, Scouting program, Star viewing
Morning breakfasts, Tootsie Roll Program etc.)
Sponsor School programs for Drug Awareness, Keep Christ in Christmas and Alter Service Awards.
Establish a "Buddy" program for new Knights.
Beautification Days at the parishes.
Increase participation of members for meeting, council programs and events.
Review Fund Raising programs
Establish an Admission Degree (Formerly 1st First Degree) Exemplifications Team.
Qualify for Star Council.
Joe and Corky Loewenguth did one super job of organizing last week's Night at the Races. It was great
to have so many Brother Knights and new Brother Knights participate in the evening festivities. The
"Catholic Cook" prepared a superb meal, and I received many good comments and accolades from the
people who attended. Joe and Corky, again, GREAT JOB!

Brother Greg Sauve' and the Northeast Florida Astronomical Society will be at St. Matthews Church for
celestial viewing the evening of July 9,2016. Bring the family and see the spectacular rings of Saturn,
the Moons of Jupiter among other interesting celestial objects. Viewing will begin at 8:30 pm. This
event is hosted by the Knights of Columbus Father Maher Council #648. There will be several telescopes
setup for viewing and soda, popcorn, and hot dogs on a donation basis. This is a quarterly family
program so let's all support this event!
Please voice your thoughts, ideas, and volunteer for the coming year. We need all Brother Knights to
take part in the good things the Father Maher Council #648 does for the Parishes and Community.
"Bound together by faith in Christ."
