The “Delta Membership Drive” has been moved up to the weekend of 11/30, 12/01.
Officers agreed that prospective candidates would be offered a free Fellowship Breakfast. (The breakfast is on the same weekend).
A “Ministry Moment” video will be recorded for Masses on the Drive weekend. We plan to also record a video for the Spanish Mass (Their first).
Brother Manz is looking for volunteers to deliver the Drive’s message from the pulpit.
We need Brothers to volunteer for various assignments during the drive.
We will have an “Open House” a week after the drive. Brother Bill Sodan will do the presentation. (Note: this can qualify as one of two activities to satisfy “insurance Requirement” for Star Council).
Brother Karl Sodan will check to see if we can get “Brother McGivney” cards in Spanish.
