My hubby, Bobby Gski was diagnosed with colon cancer several weeks ago. He had surgery today to remove it, and the doctor was very pleased with how the surgery went. We have to wait on the pathology now, but keeping a positive outlook! ❤️

Brother Knights,

Here are a number of important, upcoming dates involving our council.

Tuesday, Dec. 10th - due date for our Keep Christ in Christmas Poster contest
Thursday, Dec. 12th - Father Enrique has requested the Knights to be in the procession at the 7:00 pm mass and to assist in the raffle drawing just after the mass. He is wanting to raise awareness for our council.
Thursday, Dec. 19th - Present awards to OLA school students who are winners of the poster contest at the school's Christmas Celebration. If you want to be present for the entire event you can, but our presence will be a short part of the program. More on the time of this event and when we need to be present later.

Father Lesak was unable to come to Charlotte this past weekend. He developed car problems and was unable to attend the recruitment event. Thanks to the efforts of our District Deputy, Brian McGahan, we signed up eighteen men who are interested in joining us. Our next step is to have an information meeting with these prospects and we need to pick a date to hold this meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce the prospects to the Knights of Columbus, tell them about the Knights' organization, what we do in terms of fundraisers, assisting in the church and the community, etc. Father Enrique is interested in growing the Knights and will do what he can to assist us in this endeavor.

The dates we are looking at are:
Friday, Dec. 13 - evening
Saturday, Dec 14 - morning or early afternoon
Sunday, Dec 15 - after 3:00 mass
Tuesday, Dec 17 - evening

Please let me know which of these dates/times are best for you.
