Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

First big breakfast at St. Clare's is quickly approaching Oct 5.  As usual we have 3 major shifts: Saturday night 6pm:  Load in and setup (I think I have enough help for this, but the more hands we have, the quicker we can set up our standard 96 place settings and 225 plates stacked) Sunday morning 8am-10:15am-  MANY positions still available Sunday morning 10:15- cleanup-  MANY positions still available For those new to our council, our 10 breakfasts (5 at each parish) every year are our major fundraising. A special request:     someone to learn how to be the back up for the occasions when Scott can't be there to flip pancakes.  This position would require a greater commitment- 8am to about 1pm- and requires learning to run the grill and clean the grill.  Pancake flipper is the most unique set of skills we have- it's not that hard, but we need somebody to be Scott Young's backup, especially now that his council of 3591 has a Knights friendly...

Saturday, September 27, is going to be a busy day for our council.  You can choose only one. Top one for new members (and we met a few potential new members at the Ministry Fair at St. Clare's) is 5pm Mass at St. Clare's, followed by a Charity-Unity-Fraternity degree.  Become a 3rd degree Knight in only 30 minutes after Mass.  Family is not only invited, but encouraged.  Current volunteers are: Ted Seeber- Presiding Officer Don Mey- Charity Daniel Riechers- Unity Richard DiGregorio- Fraternity Michael Chau- Warden While this is the bare minimum for a Degree- we could still use an Investing Officer and would welcome any help from the State Council and Insurance side- we will soldier on bring in at least one New Knight Candidate.  Want to join him?  Visit https://kofc.org/joinus  before Saturday, and don't forget the coupon code   BLESSEDMCGIVNEY and our council #15485 to waive your 2025 dues. ------------------- Event #2 is over at St. John Fi...

Light crowd at SJF this morning 45 breakfasts served  $132.19 net proceeds.

We need men to volunteer for next weekend at the St. John Fisher Breakfast.  Setup will begin at 8, we serve at 10, finish serving at 1 and then cleanup.   We especially need to get some new backup pancake flippers, and this is an opportunity to learn that position.  If you can be there 8am-1pm, consider volunteering for that.
