Who took their first degree April 11 on a road trip to Our Lady of the Lake Council. Be sure to be at our next meeting April 18, at 7pm, to welcome them into the Knights of Columbus.

Thank you to everyone who participated in making the April 10 breakfast a success! We had plenty of volunteers: Ted, Shannon and Christopher Seeber Phil and Donna Jarvis Jim and Jean Stahl Deacon Scott James Morgan Paul Pompili John Creegan Michael Chau Marc Gregoire Mike Devlin me I'm always impressed with the energy and attitude of service that's evident in volunteers in these events.  There's always a lot of camaraderie and kidding around while serious work is performed.  And I believe we help the parish community as well.  This time we raised $350.  Deacon Scott suggested that we earmark our 50% donation to the parish youth group and I'm certain they'll be overjoyed with our donation.  Overall, it was a lot of fun. Ken

Brandon is now offering free (with shipping cost) copies of The Return Paperback . I highly recommend this, as well as click on "Council Library" in the right sidebar to see books our council has available for loan.

If you attended Catholic School in the 60's, you'll remember that we were not allowed to put marks in our textbooks.  To this day, I have trouble highlighting my codes and manuals I use in my work.... When I was about 6 years old, the neighborhood teenagers taught me some cuss words that I quickly took home to show off to my parents.  I was horrified when my mom pushed a bar of soap half way down my throat to wash out my mouth from those dirty words.  To this day, there are certain words I seem unable to utter..... My mom was a saintly woman - but very strict.  She said that the phone was a tool to make appointments but not for lengthy conversations.  To this very day, I have trouble talking on the phone.  This is a real handicap for me because in my work, phone conversations can occupy half of my day.  To make matters worse, I have a hearing problem - which is exacerbated by the VOIP system I use (but it's free).  So I'm not much of a phone...
