Social
The
Grand Knight wants to have a Social meeting on Oct 6th for Knights and spouses at the Stone Chapel.
It will be a pot-luck dinner. Our Council will provide the entree and we will
do the normal side dishes and desert. This time A-G should do Desert and H-Z
should do side dishes. The social is opened to all the surrounding area councils.
Bill Phillips, our entertainment chair, has agreed to provide the drinks and
meat at the councils expense.
Please
send an e-mail to the surrounding councils inviting them to the social soon.
They can call Kelton’s office phone to acknowledge how many will attend
(434)973-1557. We will have a guest speaker from HOSPICE, "Hospice of the
Piedmont" talking about what they do and don't do (they do not help people
die). This is not a fund raising speech. They will not be asking for money,
only sharing info about what they do. We will need a head count by Thursday
Oct. 2nd.

If
you need or would like any Knights of Columbus memorabilia, e.g., Prayer cards,
rosaries, medals, K of C hats, shirts,
etc., please see me.
From time to time, we receive a request from a Church that we represent for help in
painting, minor repairs or general landscaping. If you are interested in
helping out in these areas, please let me know. I want to develop a list of people
that I can call, rather than have to search through our entire membership
roster seeking help. Thank you.

General
information on dress code and behavior:
1.
Uniforms
– this year we are required to wear uniforms. This means you are to wear black or khaki color pants or shorts.
Since we are working the Wild Wings stands, shirts will be provided to us, as
will hats/visors once you get to the stadium. (If we weren’t working
with Wild Wings we would have to provide our own shirts.) NO OPEN-TOED SHOES,
FLIP-FLOPS OR JEANS.
2. Parking is at “The Park” (next to the JAG
school) – like last year.
3. A Bus will take you from The Park to the stadium. Buses start running 5 hours before game time. Please be IN the stand no later than 3 hours before game time, i.e. 12:30 If the game started at 3:30. (If I were you I’d be at The Park NO later than 11:45). Upon arrival at the stadium, proceed to check-in. Your name will be on the K of C list.
4.
We
will be working the Wild Wings stands at both the East and West gates. For the
time being, let’s have all the
ND volunteers go to the East gate stand, plus Andy (he’s been instructed
to keep his eye on them.) Everybody else to the West gate stand. Adjustments
may need to be made later. Please be flexible.
5.
Duties
at the stand – we’ll go over these once you arrive. Please be flexible!
6.
Health
Code requirements – we’ll go over these once you arrive. Please follow them –
Think “The Tavern” if you don’t – the Health Dept. will.
7. Consumption of food – this year, ARAMARK ( the people we/Wild
Wings work for) have banned lunch. But because we are working for Wild
Wings, I have asked twice and been told twice that, we WILL be allowed
to eat what we sell. Having said that, let’s be particularly careful about the
following: DO NOT eat in the stand; Let’s not be piggish and watch the amount
we eat; let’s be circumspect about advertising to other groups/ARAMARK
personnel that we are getting free food; and keep personal drinks in a location
distinct and apart from where we are selling and cooking.
Father Louis A Rowen List of
Deceased Knights
The following is a list of all Brothers that have passed and are honored on our Plaques. Since some were inadvertently omitted last month, we are publishing this list again to make sure we honor them correctly. You will note that some have PGK (Past Grand Knight) or PSD (Past State Deputy) preceding their name. If you recognize that others deserve these honors, or comparable honors, please call Jim Morrisard, 973-6570 so he can get the Plaque changed.
