Worthy Brothers,

Thank you to all who helped today moving the St. John Food Closet over to the old St. John School!  God Bless you!  We got it all done in just a matter 2.5 hours.  WOW!  As our PGK used to say - "Many hands make light work".  That being said, we DO NOT need help tomorrow since we got it all done today.  Great work guys!

Second, anyone willing to help out on Thursday at Holiday Camp, just let me know and you can meet us there at the camp at 10:30.  We will appreciate any help we can get that day.  Thank you in advance!                       

Lastly, PGK Jay Jondro is looking to do a possible article on the Euchre Social.  If anyone has any information on the history of when it started or any other interesting facts, please let him or me know - Thanks!

Vivat Jesus!

Worthy Brothers,

Just a couple of reminders:

Monday July 8th (tomorrow) and Tuesday July 9th - the St. John Food Pantry will be moving from their current location on Macomb St (next to the hospital) to St. John School beginning at 10 am each day.  They need all the help they can get - PLEASE VOLUNTEER your time and muscles!

This Wednesday we will be having an exemplification at 6 pm followed by our regular general meeting at 7 pm.  All are welcome to attend.

We will be serving lunch at Holiday Camp this Thursday, July 11th from 10:30 am until 1 pm.  Any help that day would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all and have a Blessed Day!

Vivat Jesus,

Dear Worthy Knights,

Greetings, my Brothers! 

Although you have already received a couple of emails from me, now that it official, allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Jeffrey Couturier and I am honored and humbled to be the new Grand Knight of Monroe Council 1266.  Thank you for this honor to serve you and the community of Monroe.  I am very excited about the opportunities we have before us and I look forward to doing all I can for our parishes, our families our communities, and our Lord.  If, at any time, you have questions, concerns, ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact me either by phone, text or email.     

A few items to bring up already;

- The Goodfellows meeting scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled.  Instead we will be at Merkle Funeral Home North for the visitation of our dearly departed brother Arthur Bomia III.  All are encouraged to attend.

- Unfortunately, the lawn mower at the K of C hall has been stolen and we do not have one to take care of our grass.  If anyone has a mower to donate, new or used - please contact me or Steve Richardville.  We really need to have it replaced as soon as possible.

- This September 28th, a 4th degree exemplification ceremony will be coming to our own home K of C hall.  I am very excited about this being at our hall!  What a great opportunity for our council to shine!  If anyone is interested in becoming a 4th degree Knight - a Knight of Patriotism - please let me know and we will make it happen.

Once again, I am very excited about the future of our council.  I'm looking forward to working with all of you in the year to come!

Vivat Jesus,

Jeffrey Couturier
