Grand Knight's Report July 2018 GK Leo McGarry

7/19/2018

 
  • Welcome fellow brothers to a new Columbian year. I want to thank you for allowing me to be your Grand Knight this year.
  1. A new Emphasis from Supreme which will Be adapted this Columbian year has been forwarded but not yet absorbed.  More will be available at next month’s meeting once we have had a chance to finish the reading and absorbed what its impact will be on what we will be doing this year.  Its title is “Faith in Action” which indicates an increase in the spiritual emphasis we will soon see in the Knights of Columbus.
  • Today I was approached by Dotty Sparks (619) 490-8071 to see if we could provide a representative to attend an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Celebration this Sunday in Prendergast Hall at 3:00 PM.  It is to honor a Santa Sophia Eagle Scout who has demonstrated courage and saved two lives.  He is Scout Samuel Da Luz Almeida.  Many dignitaries from the area will be attending to honor this Eagle Scout.  Many of them are first responders as well as public dignitaries such as a Representative from Senator Joel Anderson’s office, the 71st Assembly Representative, Sheriff deputies, Police and Firemen are scheduled to attend.  A representative from the K of C would be welcome along with their wife.  Since food will be served and would provide your spouse with relief from cooking. Eagle Scout Almeida contributed to the parish by redesigning the landscape for the pantry and assisting in its finalization.
  • Upcoming events: 5th Sunday Rosary- Pat Esquibel will report on that later, VBS BBQ-Martin Teachworth (if present) will report on the planning and progress.
I look forward for our Council to succeed in all our events, both fundraisers and charity activities. Together, I know we can add on to the previous years with the same commitment and purpose as we have always done. So that by next May, we can bring home many awards!​
Vivat Jesus!

Worthy Brothers!
Well we've made to the end of another year.
During the past month, we've been busy: first Ismael Negrete and his crew held a wonderful Pancake Breakfast on June 3rd. Special thanks to Jim Maasch for getting things started in the kitchen and Anthony Opalek and Juan Carlos Gomez for keeping thing s going in the serving line. Thanks to Anthony for staying over to help clean up.
Next, we had the Light & Life Dinner and following that was the Casino NIght to help raise money for the church roof repair. Again, thanks to all of you who helped: Van Fritzenkotter, Eddie Padillo, Barry Coleman, Carl Bloemendaal, Pat Esquibel, Ed Dondero, Gary Glenn and our auctioneer extraordinaire- Leo McGarry!
We have a couple of items that unfortunately must be dealt with next Columbian year: Liability insurance, updating the ByLaws and possibly getting a second trophy case built.

Finally, I want to thank you ALL for letting me serve as your Grand Knight this past year. It's been a great experience and I couldn't have done it without your support.
I believe we did some wonderful work: ID Drive, Veteran's Dinner, ByLaws update( at least got the discussion started). We also received new members who are fone men and brother Knights: Andy Crabtree, Juan Carlos Gomez, Mike Lutz, John Dandash and Edmond Kugblenu. New members who entered at the end of last year
but who received their 3 rd Degree Knighthood: Barry Coleman, Anthony Opalek, Ismael Negrete.
Again, I has been a pleasure to serve as your Grand Knight. God bless you all!
I will continue to serve this Council as a Past Grand Knight and Trustee, so onward Christian soldiers! Vivat Jesus!

Yours in Unity, Fraternity, Charity and Patriotism,
Shawn Reidy, Grand Knight

Grand Knight's Report for May 2018 by GK Shawn Reidy

Greetings once again Worthy Brothers!
Our Columbian year is quickly coming to an end and we have had quite a year! I want to thank you all for trusting me to be your Grand Knight this year and supporting me during this year with great success!
As you know by now, DGK Leo McGarry and I returned this past Sunday from the California State Convention held in Sacramento this year. We are both proud to report that our Council did VERY  well in garnishing many Service Awards:
FOUR - 1st Place awards                  
  • Church
  • Council
  • Culture of Life
  • Youth
Two- 2nd Place awards
  • Family
  • Vocations
​One- 3rd Place award- Community

We ALL should be proud to have done such a good job to win such awards. It's due to a lot of hard work by so many of you that I can spare you the pain of listing all of them :-D (haha)
I would like to thank the Service Award committee: Leo McGarry, Jerry Kay, Greg Villard, Gary Glenn, and Pat Esquibel.
Brothers, thanks for helping Leo and me to organize and coordinate the abundance of reports, photos and written materials and get them in a logical order and coherence. Clearly, this was a important factor in why the State judges selected our Council for all the awards. Vivat Jesus! 

This past month of May, our Council was asked to manage an additional month of serving coffee & donuts. Thanks to all of you who helped out so far-especially while Leo and I were away in Sacramento. Don't forget-we have one more Sunday to serve THIS Sunday, May 27th.
Next month, we will have a few more events such as the Light and Life Dinner on Saturday, June 9th. I will ask a few of you worthy knights to help out in the kitchen and serving the guests tables. We have  already budgeted for a table of eight. 
We are honored that we were asked to host this worthy event for a Culture of Life and let our Council shine.
On Sunday, June 3rd, besides being our Family Mass  Sunday, Br. Ismael Negrete has volunteered to head a crew of other brothers and cook a Pancake Breakfast along with serving coffee & donuts. [The Women's Guild was more than happy to relinquish one Sunday.]
Three more dates to put on your calendar:
1. Thursday, June 7th- the last Officers meeting for the year.
2. Thursday, June 21st- the LAST business meeting for the year
3. Sunday, June 24th- Installation of Officers and Luncheon in the DeMoor Room 1-3 pm
Again, thanks for all your support to me during the past year.
You all are a truly worthy band of Brothers!
Deus Lo Vult! Vivat Jesus!
