For The Entire Family

CHAPLAINS REPORT

Brothers,

It is an honor to be part of this fraternal Order of catholic gentlemen and their families too. Actually, I have been in McGregor now for over 4 years, so I already feel a chaplain connection.

I follow in the fine footsteps of Fr. Leo who is still recuperating from his heart surgery and is now settled in his new home for priests in Chatham. I am sure he would love to hear from his brother Knights.

Fr. Leo Lariviere

Chatham Retirement Resort

25 Keil Dr. N.

Chatham, ON

N7L 5J9

Thank you, Fr. Leo for being our spiritual chaplain for nine years here in mighty McGregor. Please continue to pray for us here at St.Clement Council so we may be a Council of Fraternity and Charity but also men of God.

Yours in Christ

Fr. Bill Kornacker

GRAND KNIGHT’S REPORT

Brothers,

As many of you may already know, Father Leo will not be returning to St Clement but is now living at the retirement home for priests in Chatham. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Father Leo for everything he has done for our council, church and community and we wish him well.

But we are not without spiritual guidance. Please join me in welcoming Father Bill K. who has accepted the position as our Chaplain.

On Aug 27 we participated in the annual 25^th International Softball Tournament against the Robert Jones Council in Michigan. Although we gave it our best effort, the trophy will remain in Robert Jones possession for another year. PGK Del Perotta from Robert Jones entertained us all with some stories on how this tournament first got started 25 years ago. A few members of our council also attended a 2-hour boat cruise along the Detroit River on Sept 11 with Robert Jones Council; a good day was had by all. I would like to thank Brother Phil Lefrancois for all his efforts in organizing these events.

I would like to thank the helpers from very busy Sept.16 Spaghetti dinner, firstly my wife Debra, DGK Dale Martin & his wife Marcella, Brother Gary Gardin & wife Penny, Brother Ulric Renuad & wife Maryanne & Wayne Hanson. We had a record of 100 people attend the spaghetti dinner. The attendance is growing for this event so we can use all the help we can get. Be sure to volunteer.

Now that the month of September has arrived we are going to be busy with many upcoming events

1. September 23 Fish fry sponsored by the Squires. Next month the Knights sponsor the fish frys, so brothers please help when you can!

2. On Sept. 24 back at our hall after 5:00 p.m. mass, we will be having our 2005-2006 Installation of Officers. Joining us for the installation will be Windsor Council 1453 & our own John Brazil Squires.

3. Attention all Past Grand Knights – Bylaws meeting Oct. 7 @ 7:00 p.m.

4. K of C annual banquet will be held Nov. 12, 2005, please contact Brother Paul Sylvestre or myself for tickets, get your tickets early.

Be sure to come out and help the Squires in some of their fundraiser efforts

- Car wash in our parking lot Oct. 1 from 9-noon

- Bike-a-thon on Oct 2

I would like to encourage every brother to try to recruit a new member.

St. Clements Council 2844 is a great council because of our membership - let us share this with other catholic gentlemen in our community.

Fraternally Yours

Dave Taylor

Grand Knight

COLUMBIAN CLUB REPORT

The good news is that we have finally hired a new General Manager. His name is Sean Young. The Columbian Club board is excited and has great expectations for this gentleman. His computer and management skills are outstanding. A bonus is his culinary skills. He has completed courses in cuisine and pastry at the Cordon Bleu Cooking School in Paris. Our hall has a reputation for good food and hopefully it will be even better with his input. We are looking forward to a long relationship. My wife Penny is happy with this development since I will now have time to do more work around the house.

I mentioned in the last newsletter about considering adding Thursdays to the availability for Broasted Chicken. That decision has been made and it is now available. In order to advertise this change, over 1000 flyers were sent out to 2 more postal codes.

New bookings for our hall are coming in at a good pace and our calendar is filling up quickly.

Thanks again to all the board members and to Janice Brockman for all their assistance during this time of transition.

Gary Gardin

President

A WORD FROM THE HALL MANAGERS

In my first week here ORT as General Manager of the Columbia Club, I have had the honor of meeting many of our members and their families. Over the coming weeks, I hope to get a chance to meet more and more of you! This is a wonderful organization, and I would like to thank Gary Gardin, and the Knights of Columbus board members for giving me this great opportunity to get to know this new extended family! I will do my best to introduce myself to all of you in the upcoming weeks!

I wish everyone good health and fortune! See you all soon!

Sean Young
