Mexican Night Coming Up Fast

Are you ready for some delicious carnitas and homemade guacamole? Yes! Then please save the date Saturday, October 20 to attend the 2018 Mexican Night dinner.

Funds raised from this year’s dinner will once again be donated to Clara’s House. Council 953 is grateful for your past support of this mid-town primary health care clinic, its nurse practitioners, and the many volunteers who provide compassionate health services to the voiceless and vulnerable among us. Last year we were able to donate $2000 dollars thanks to your attendance at the 2017 Mexican Night.

Clara’s House is a nonprofit 501c3 organization funded solely by tax deductible donations and grants. The Knights appreciate how all the funds donated to Clara’s House are used to provide medical services. The volunteer staff is all unpaid allowing them to provide health care at no charge to their patients and provide basic lab tests for patients at no charge.

See the October 20 Mexican Night flyer in this month’s newsletter. Call or email Greg Wolfe to make your
reservation. This event has sold out in the past.

Volunteers Needed for Zippy Bun Booth

St. Mary’s Parish will be holding its 86th annual festival on Sunday, August, 20, 2017 and as usual, the festival’s Zippy Bun Booth will be set up and run by members of the council. (For newer members not familiar with a zippy bun sandwich, it’s nothing more than a pile of roast beef between two bun halves dripping with aus jus and is one of the most popular food items at the festival.) We’re still in need of a few volunteers to man some of the two hour shifts. If you can help at the booth, please contact GK Adam Struck at (916) 914-5041 or struckam@hotmail.com.
