    President's Message

 

 

Our fundraising efforts have really paid off. Let me list the charities we supported this year and the amounts of money donated. First of all, the proceeds of $473.00 from our November “Tag/Bake Sale” have been given to our Grand Knight to fund the Homeless Lunches the Council does every second Thursday of each month. Secondly, when we held our “Spring Party” at Little Sisters of the Poor on March 13th, we presented them with a donation of $100.00. And last, but not least, we used $400.00 from our treasury to buy supplies for the McShin Foundation. This is a local organization that provides housing and services for those in our community who suffer from addiction. I am very proud of what our Auxiliary has done this year and I owe it all to our dedicated members who went the extra mile to help raise all these funds. Thank you Ladies Auxiliary members!!

Please keep up to date with our activities by reading your newsletter, website and emails. We are a very busy group and I want to stress that in order to do all the good throughout the year, and to keep a proper perspective, we must stay focused on our faith and be Christ to each other and those we minister to.

 If you interested or know of someone interested in joining us: we meet monthly September through June on the second Sunday of the month. We gather at 5:30pm in the clubroom and have a delicious meal along with our Brother Knights. Then our meeting begins at 6:30pm (the Knights meet at the same time separately). Our membership is open to "all wives, mothers, daughters, and widows of the Knights of Columbus and to any Christian woman who wishes to participate" (taken from bylaws). Our dues are $25.00 annually plus an optional $3.65 for PKDL. This is a Penny a Knight per Day per Lady and goes towards vocations.  Please feel free to contact me at 379-6366 or mrs12paws@verizon.net

May God bless you………..Marty Prebish, President

                            

 

Ladies Auxiliary Member of the Month for March 2010

Linda Duncan 

I first met this lady and her husband when we took the Council bus trip to Bedford. They seemed a great couple and I was glad to see such an enthusiastic and friendly couple joining Bishop Ireton.

And join they did! Right away they became involved in many of the Council’s activities and events….working bingo, helping whenever the hall needed decorating, clean up, etc. They were a Godsend to Bob and me when we needed help cleaning up after last year’s State Council dance. They pitched right in and before you knew it, the four of us had the work all done.

This lady works a very demanding job, which leaves very little time to herself and her family’s needs. However, that does not stop her from helping our Auxiliary out. She volunteered to help and was a very valuable member of the “Adopt-a-Room” project at Home Again. She was able to juggle her schedule to help shop and help decorate the room we adopted. I still see her climbing on the top bunk beds to put that fitted sheet on each bed! She once again pitched right in and did what needed to be done.

Again, because of her busy job, she sometimes does not get to attend each and every meeting. But I know she is there in spirit and more than makes up for her absence whenever another project rolls around.

I, for one, am very glad she and her husband joined our Council! It is my honor to name Linda Duncan Ladies Auxiliary Member of the Month for March. Thank you, Linda for being such a welcome and valuable member to our group!       (Marty Prebish)
