Report:
Jeff’s 500 Miles for Kid’s Wheelchairs
Jeff has completed the 500 miles.
Over $22K has been collected to date. We are expecting an article in the Florida Catholic that may help contributions.
Highlights from the GK chat with Father Don are:
The GK thanked Fr D for the great article about Brother Bielski in the Parish Magazine
Wheelchair Sunday was a great success
We can start the Fellowship Breakfast, a Nov 7th date was proposed. (Note- we are now planning on the first Sunday in Dec).
We offered the Parish a wheelchair, however, Fr D declined for reasons of liability.
Fr D is agreeable for us to restart the Rosary before the 4:30 and 8:00 Masses. He requests we finish 10 minutes before Mass begins.
Fr D had no opinion on the Columbiettes.
We discussed the upcoming Buffet Breakfast
A Continental style breakfast was considered to keep things a little simpler as we get the Breakfast started. It was rejected, however, do to concerns over amounts to buy, how to charge, number of people attending if free etc. Plan is to pursue our usual full breakfast from the start.
We will target the first Sunday in December for the first breakfast. We need the extra time to organize. Also, a December start will allow for an in person Council meeting before the breakfast to help organize the effort.
The GK asked for someone to take the lead on this effort, but it was generally felt that we haven’t really had a lead in the past, and that those that work the breakfast know what they need to do. Loss of several key helpers, however, may put this approach in jeopardy.
The GK requested that, at the least, someone inventory our supples in our parish Hall cabinet.
Both our November Officers Planning Meeting and Business Meeting will be held in person in the Parish Hall.
Joe McGivney has volunteered to coordinate presentation of the Knight and Family of the Month awards to recipients.
The GK will check into if we are conducting a Christmas Party with the council at St Jude and the 4th degree.
