Grand Knight's Report May 2016- WGK Pat Esquibel

Worthy Brother Knights:

       Because in the beginning of creation God gave the commandments of work, we want to harmonize work and family life. Through work, parents help to meet their needs and the needs of their children. They fulfill their roles as guardians and providers. While the need to work does take away from time spent as a family, it also offers the opportunity for parents to set an example of commitment to support the family and of working together with others to get a job accomplished.

The Polo is Light Blue, will have the KofC Logo, and have Knights of Columbus Valle de Oro Council 9332 embroidery on the shirt. The cost is $19.55.  For an extra $4.00, you can have your name printed on the opposite side of your shirt.  If you cannot make it to the meeting this Thursday and would like to order a Polo Shirt, you can email me indicating size and how many, and I will take your order.

 
       If you have not been to a meeting in a while, plan on attending this Thursday and reacquaint yourself with your brothers, and what is currently being planned in your council. I hope to see you this week.

Vivat Jesus!
