Free Through Competition - State Finals are coming up. We have 4 possible candidates from All Saints School. In the past we have supplied gas credit cards for the parents of candidates and the coach. (see motions)
Good of the Order-
Membership/Retention - Lou Manz
The Council will soon be asked to create a video with Fr Don to promote the Knights. Brother Manz suggestions we carefully plan the message to emphasis that being a Knight does not require a large commitment of time. We have had several interested candidates who apparently back out at the last minute over concerns about commitment.
Exemplifications.
