Dale Edwards receives Knight of the Month certificate from Grand Knight Fred Struck
He is a member of the 1st and 2nd degree teams. He is a Past Grand Knight and the current Treasurer of our council. He is the Youth Director, has been the chairman of Irish Night for many years, and is the Color Corps Commander and a Past Faithful Navigator in the 4th Degree.
Our Knight of the Month for the month of May is Dale Edwards.
Our Knight of the Month for April is Kevin Simpson. He was our Membership Director and an active member of our council. He attended most of our meetings and helped out at most of our functions. Kevin passed away on April 5th as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while he was on the way to the exemplification of the 4th Degree. Per our worthy master and current faithful navigator of the Fourth Degree, Kevin Simpson will be treated as a Sir Knight in the Fourth Degree.
Last month’s annual Garage Sale for Charity was another great success. Special thanks goes out to Steve Mills for co-chairing the sale, to Dave Carboni for providing the hot dogs, soda, and chips for the sale, and to everyone who helped set up, work the sale, clean up, and take the leftovers to St. Vincent de Paul. Proceeds from the sale will allow the Council to donate $500 to Clara’s House Free Clinic and $300 to the St. Mary’s Bereavement Society.
