BINGO NEEDS HELP


We are in need of help with Bingo.  Initially we started off with two teams consisting of ten (10) to twelve (12) members and it has now been reduced to four (4) to five (5) members.  These few members show up constantly to do the work necessary; however; it is very hard on these regular working members to run the bingo without further help.  We have deposited approximately $15,000.00 since the first of 2008. We would like to reestablish two teams of ten to twelve and since we have cut down to two bingo nights a month, this would mean each team would work one night a month.

 

I would also like to mention the importance of bingo as income for the council which helps take place of Christmas trees which is so much more manpower consuming.  The manpower of Christmas tree sales took approximately eight hundred fifty (850) man hours and all we are asking now is two nights a month which is a total of 5 hours per night per man.

 

The ones who can not work bingo are asked to come up with other fund raisers to help pay the bills.  PLEASE, don’t be shy; get involved with the council activities. The bingo hall is not as smoky as it used to be. Come out and get a meal and help generate operating funds for the council.

 

Grand Knight A.J. Labello

The new slate of officers were elected at the June meeting, they are listed above. They will be installed on July 12th after the 4:00 P.M. Mass with reception to follow. Please support and encourage them in their efforts during the coming fiscal year.

                                                                       

Horseshoe Tournament

The Area F Horseshoe Tournament will be held at our Council Home on August 16th. We will be serving breakfast and lunch so we will need cooks, scorers and contestants.  Come on have fun.

           

New Council Home

The kitchen roll-up door is installed. The unwanted trees have been removed. Remember that members can use the home at a nominal cost. Please check the property when you pass it. Ask trespassing kids to leave, we are not insured as a public park.

 

Quarterly Communion

Our next Quarterly Communion will be July 27th at the 9:00 masses. Please sit with us in the reserved seating and wear your KC shirts. Please consider attending this mass to make a good showing.

 

KC Cookbook

We are planning a KC Cookbook to sell as a fundraiser. Dean Guidry is the Chairman.  If you have a recipe that you would like included please send it to Dguidry@dps.state.la.us or  Dean Guidry , 30779 Barnett Lane, Denham Springs, 70726.  We also need advertisers.

 

Columbian Squires

Thanks to Delmas Forbes and all the other Brother Knights who assisted with the Squires Convention. Congratulations to our Squire Vincent S. Duhon for being selected Squire of the Year 2008!

 

Dues

A message from your Financial Secretary: Are you behind on your dues? It costs the council when you don’t pay your dues because we have to pay per-capita tax to the National Council for each member. Please mail your dues ($36 per year) to P.O. Box 1043 or bring them to a meeting. Do not drop them off at the Church office as this causes unnecessary trips and sorting of the large amount of mail and messages that the Church receives.  Remember to consult the Grand Knight if you have financial difficulty or are a student or are active military. 

 

Charities

Our council does not just have “charity” as a slogan. We live it. We have a Charitable Screening Committee that meets with people who are asking for assistance and tries to verify their needs and assist them with help, advice and contacts. They review the available information and recommend action to the Council at the regular business meetings. Work on this committee is truly a mission from God. Please consider joining this committee or helping at Bingo so that we can continue this important work.
