Happy February!
The tree lot has wrapped up and in previous years we would be preparing for the Father-Daughter dance followed by Lent. Well Lent is still coming but there will not be a Father Daughter dance this year. With the prospect of limiting the number of people that could attend and possibly turning people away at the door as well as trying to abide by who knows what kind of restrictions there may be, the best path this year is to cancel the dance. While thinking of previous years dances, I remember all the time and work put in by former Grand Knight Gary Frandsen. Gary has put in many hours helping people out over the years through the Knights of Columbus organizing and working multiple activities including, but not limited to, spaghetti feeds, Father – Daughter dance, Father – Son events, dinner and dance the night before the Fall Festival, and working on the Albertville Friendly City Days council. Gary will be relocating out of state in the near future. Thank you Gary for all of your work for the Knights, the church and the community – please know that you will be missed. With Gary’s relocation there is an opportunity for someone to step into the role of working with the AFCD council on behalf of our Knight’s council. Please let someone on the officer’s council know if you have an interest in helping out the council in this very important role. Remember in normal years the beer tent is the major fundraiser for council funds. Hopefully this year will be returning to a normal year.
The Knight’s February council meeting will be an online meeting. We are going to work on planning meetings and activities on a month-to-month basis. Hopefully we will be able to see each other in person at a Knight’s activity soon. Remember to pray for each other, our country, and our church and watch out for your neighbor. Keep the Faith!!!
God Bless,
