Holy Rosary at 7:10 PM Meeting at 7:30 PM

|
Thank you to all of those that were able to volunteer their time and / or attend Past Grand Knight Ron's Dinner. It was a great weekend, the weather cooperated and the Dinner was great!
|
I welcomed Ronald Christensen to the “Past Grand Knight Club”. We honored him first and foremost for continuing our Council's charter in the principles of the Knights. We reflect on events during his years as the Grand Knight of Council 5959. PGK Ron, unselfishly gave of his time to enabled the council to continue its mission of charity!
|
One of the most successful and well run events during PGK Rons tenure, he chaired himself and it will be the event that will be remembered for the next 50 years when out council will celebrate its 100th anniversary. This was the 50th Anniversary Celebration, which thankfully, PGK Ron himself remembered to mention. We recognized as well, two new ones, the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, which he kicked off during his second year, and the Oktoberfest which we started this last October. Although these events still have more potential, they have proven successful already. We netted an average 3k per event.
|
Furthermore, PGK Ron has stayed active with the council and chaired the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner in March of this year. PGK Ron is an accomplished Catholic Gentleman, we are proud and thankful that he has chosen the Knights and our council to devote his time to. Ron recounted some events in his career that were fascinating, especially his travels to the Nairobi National Park.
|
May God Bless Ron and his family!
