Grand Knight Report:
The “Our Lady of Guadalupe” festival is tomorrow night (12/12). The Mass is at 7 PM. Those that plan to help serve food after the Mss should be at the Parish Hall around 8 PM.
No one has “Signed Up” on the Council website spreadsheet to be an Outside Greeter before Christmas Masses. The GK encourages Knights to “Greet” before the Mass they attend.
The Parish Facilities Manger has questioned the safety of the parish BBQ grill. We have cleaned the grill (thanks to Brothers Ryan and Walter) and the grill appears to be serviceable. Brother Puglese, who has experience with a similar grill, will be asked to also render an opinion. Brother Davisson is considering some strengthening brackets to address some potentially weak areas.
Council/Assembly joint Christmas Party is 12/18. We have 28 to 30 who plan to attend.
We are continuing our search for someone to fill the Deputy Grand Knight position. The Current DGK is moving out of the area.

Community*-
JTAA Christmas Parade - Chairman Hildebrand indicated that our dual desire of marching near the front of the parade where the pace is faster, and trying to pass out candy (which is a slower activity) are in conflict. This year the conflict was amplified by a particularly fast parade, and an excess of candy. This resulted in the council being spread out over the parade route. The conflict needs to be resolved for next year. The Chairman indicated is will not be available for next years parade.
