First Round Free after
December Business
Meeting
To celebrate a
successful year and promote
fellowship, the council FS will
buy the first round of $2
beer for each member in
attendance at the December
15 business meeting. With
typical attendance of about
20 members (out of 288
total), this will represent a
donation of approximately
$40.
State Golf Tournament
The October 4-5 golf
tournament produced a profit
after expenses of $5127
($295 more than reported last
month). At the October
business meeting a motion
was passed to propose a split
of the profit evenly between
the council and Knights Club.
At the November business
meeting a motion was
presented to donate
proceeds from those signs
sold to non-profit
organizations to LAMB
Foundation of NC. Because
these amounts exceed $500,
our bylaws dictate that we
must announce these items
will be on the agenda at the
December 15 business
meeting.

Annual Memorial Mass and
Covered dish dinner held on
th
November 12 was a great
success. We had about 40
members, spouses and
guests in attendance.
Our celebrant was Father
David Hyman, O.F.M., who
has returned to Greensboro
after 20 years to become
Father Louie’s assistant at St.
Francis Springs Prayer
Center. He was warmly
welcomed and remarked later
how much he enjoyed the
wonderful food and the
company.
Lawrene Kirwan was
Chairlady for the event and
was ably assisted by her
husband Pat. Thanks for
doing such a great joy.

THE KNIGHTS CLUB SAYS
THANK You
On behalf of the
Directors of the Knights Club
we wish to extend our
appreciation to all those who
supported our recent 3rd
Annual Brunswick Stew Sale
Fundraiser. We are still in
process of calculating net
profits but we didn’t want to
neglect showing our
appreciation.
We would also like to
give a big THANK YOU to
our Top Chefs, Jerry Byrd,
Jerome Dixon and
Roy Berninger. Not to be
overlooked are the Brothers
who turned out to stir the
stew, package the containers
and be on site for pick- up.
Without all these
Brothers, we wouldn’t have
been able to have a
successful fundraiser.
We still have
approximately 75 quarts of
stew available for sale. If
you did not have a chance
to purchase on Nov., 9th,
or just loved it so much,
please call Marshall Perry
@ 288-6091 to arrange for
pick up.
Marshall Perry, Knights
Club President
