Grand Knight Patrick MaherMessageContact Pat at: [email protected]
Worthy Brother Knights, Vivat Jesus
Welcome to our newest members: David Downy sponsored by Joel Turbiak, Rolando Zapata sponsored by Greg Knoph, Jeffrey McParland and Wiilam Fenter both sponsored by Charlie Rozum, and Tony Rotondo sponsored by Bill Dolunt. We have had twenty-eight new members this fraternal year including two reactivations and two transfers. If you know someone who would make a good Knight, talk to our Membership Director, Paul St. Clair. Contact Paul at [email protected]. And if you are a Catholic lady, you can join our Donne-Gals by contacting Julie Maher at [email protected].
On Tuesday, July 19th at our regularly scheduled membership meeting, there will be a motion to make a loan to the Building Association. The exclusive caterer contract with Rose Catering will terminate at the end of July. The building has created a two year plan to generate revenue but it will need financial support while it implements the plan. The benefit to members is greater access to the building, and the council will have greater access for fundraising activities and charitable events. The building will offer a preferred caterer list giving renters more options. The building will have control of rental pricing, catering pricing and any extras a renter may request. The building association is working on events that will generate a lot of buzz and excitement.
The building association is working on the installation of new carpet for the lounge area and a fresh coat of paint. A fresh look will help improve our rentals. To keep our costs down ,our brother knights will need to rally together to do the painting and carpet tear out. In the near future you will see a request for help. If you want to put your name on the list in advance, email me at [email protected]. Thank you to our Donne Gals for their help in selecting the right color and style that will appeal to potential renters. A special thank you to Stephanie Bourdon for lending her expertise on carpet and paint selection as well as finding a company that was able to work with us on price. You are amazing Stephanie!
The annual boat cruise is on schedule for Friday, July 8th. As I write this article there are still a few openings on the bus and on the boat. To reserve your spot, contact Roy MacDonald at 706-289-7585 or Joe Kronk at 313-320-1905. The cost is $45 for the bus ride from the council, the boat cruise with open bar, and then a bus ride back to the council for food and cash bar.
The Monaghan golf outing fundraiser is on Thursday, July 21st and there are still openings for golfers and hole sponsors. The cost is only $100 for golf, lunch at turn, steak dinner and open bar. The hole sponsor is only $100. If you are not a golfer, you can still support the even by attending the steak dinner for $25. The charity for this event is The Miracle League and last year we were able to donate $1,500. Please consider having a great day on the course to support your council and The Miracle League. See the ad in this paper for more details.
There will be a St. Mary’s of Redford class of 1966 reunion at the council on Friday, September 23rd. All SMR alumni are welcome! See the ad in this newsletter.
Our Lecturer, Dave DiPonio, is scheduling a field trip to the Ford Rouge Plant on Thursday, September 29th. Those going will car pool from the council at 9:30am and lunch at Miller’s Bar after the tour. Anticipated arrival back at the council is 3pm. The cost for the tour is $17 for adults or $15.25 seniors and does not include lunch.

One last thing. We are looking for volunteers to help with Bingo. The council is offering a great community activity with bingo and it bring in funds to help our charities. Volunteers
do earn a stipend and a couple drinks, but it’s also a great way to give back to your council and enjoy some comradery with your fellow brothers. Bingo is Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings, and you can volunteer to work whatever fits your schedule whether it’s once a week or once a month. If you can volunteer contact Dan Connor at 248-476-7624.
Have a safe and fun summer.
In Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism,
