Brother Knights:
“Struggle” is an apt way of describing this month’s message. No, it does not define my efforts in finding an underused euphemism, but people and events that have come to my attention. Struggle describes Holy Family Church and Mt. Shasta Council 2599 in Weed California, which burned to the ground by a fast moving forest fire. Struggle describes a plea for help by a Catholic prison chaplain who had all his state funding cut off unannounced. Struggle describes those suffering from Intellectual Disabilities, who benefit from our Tootsie Roll fundraising. Yet, as Knights, we come to their aid, lighten their burden, and make part of their struggles our own.
Go! Make a difference…

Grand Knight, Council 953
Last month’s Mexican Night was a huge success. Thanks to all brothers and the student helpers who helped with the dinner, including PGK Ricardo Saldaña’s family and Lewis Muñoz’s family. For further details, all Brothers should attend our Council’s October General Business Meeting. The Grand Knight will be giving his report on the results of the dinner at the next business meeting.
Hector Garcia was named Knight of the Month at the September business meeting. Hector has been a source of consistent and much-appreciated help at all of the Council’s recent events, including the Steak Dinner. His dedication is also evident in his role as Pro Life Director, in which he does an excellent job keeping his Brother Knights updated on events and legislation related to life issues. Hector also is in his second year serving as one of Council’s Guards.
