Report:
The GK would like to do more to recognize the outstanding contributions of Brother Knights
PGK Mark Mikosz
All agreed we should entertain PGK Mikosz as this years “Knight of the year”.
Brother Hildebrand will add a tribute to Mark on the council web site.
A small ceremony after Brother Mikosz’s Meditation Garden is installed was considered.
Knight/Family of the year
We reviewed that in the past we presented Knight and Family of the Month awards. The Family of the Month can be a non Knight family. As the pandemic subsides and the council becomes more active we hope to start making the presentations again.
The GK suggested we look into ways to foster more fellowship in the Council.
A Breakfast Meeting for members was discussed and was well received. The GK will check into possible venues for the meeting.
Possible sports activity such as a free throw competition, or golf activity was discussed. There was some concern about conflict/duplication with what the JTAA currently does.
A Buddy system for new Knights was discussed and well received. It was suggested that some ground rule of what is expected of the buddy be established
The upcoming Vigil for Life was Discussed. This is a “40 Days for Life” program during Lent. It was a suggested that we attend the 2 hour prayer vigil across from the Abortion Clinic on the Saturday after our next Business meeting. One option would be to carpool and have lunch at Duffy’s afterwards. This activity would qualify as one of our “Life” activities for the year.
The Altar Servers recognition program was reviewed. It is felt that the Scholarship portion of the program is no longer viable, however, we may possibly want to consider continuing the Altar Servers pizza party.
Tootsie Roll Drive options were reviewed. In the past we have collected outside of Church and at Walmart and the Farms Publix. St Jude has a “Club” approach where donations of $100 are solicit from an established donor base.
