News From the Hall Board
The Hall Board is no longer accepting donations of e-waste and scrap metal, as this has not proven to be a profitable endeavor. If you still have any of these items and are unsure of how to properly dispose of them, feel free to contact Terry Corcoran at 224-7786, and he will be happy to answer your questions.
Interested in a photo copier? The old copier located in the council office is free to anyone willing to come haul it away. Please contact Steve Mills at 599-8522 or Terry Corcoran at 224-7786.
Last but not least, the Hall Board is replacing the old beer box behind the bar with a new one capable of holding multiple beers on tap. Look for it in the new year!
Grand Knight’s Message, November 2015
Worthy Brother Knights and Families:
Thanksgiving is upon us and as we look toward the holiday season, let us remember that Thanksgiving is more than the kick-off to the shopping season. Rather, it is truly a time to give thanks to God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us. Indeed, such thanks is founded in scripture:
“Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.” (Psalm 52:2-3.) “I always thank God for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in Him, you have been enriched in every way – in all your speaking and in all your knowledge – . . .” (1 Corinthians 1:4-5.) “For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.” (1 Timothy 4:4-5.) “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” (1 Chronicles 16:34.)
God has done great wonderful things for us and our Council. We thank Him for all of the enduring friendships we have made at Council 953 and of the successes that He has bestowed on us. We also thank him for giving us strength and fortitude to help those who cannot speak for themselves, shelter those who need, stop pain where we see it, and give love where it is needed.
Enjoy your families and friends this Thanksgiving season, for all good things are possible with God. May God continue to bless you and your families this Thanksgiving Holiday.
