3rd Degree Saturday March 20th

Brother Knights,

Calling all 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree Knights!!!

As I had mentioned in an earlier communication, a Third Degree will be held in Apex, NC on March 20^th, 2010. The Fr. H. Charles Mulholland Council 7186 will host this degree at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church. I ask that all 2nd degree Knights prayerfully consider taking that last step to full Knighthood and attend this degree ceremony. I would also encourage 3rd and 4th degree Knights to attend in the gallery to support our brother candidates.

Registration for candidates and observers will begin at 11:00 AM. The degree will begin promptly at Noon , and is expected to finish around 3:30pm.

Candidates and observers must be on time and register between 11:00 AM and 11:30 AM in the Activity Building. All those arriving earlier will not be allowed to enter the facilities until registration begins. The dress code is at least business casual, which means no tee shirts, shorts, or jeans. There are only 50 spots available, so please contact me no later than this Friday 3/12/10 to ensure space is available in the class and enough food is prepared for the luncheon. (919.528.2783 madstein36@hotmail.com)

A luncheon of chicken parmesan, pasta, salad and dessert along with refreshments will be served following the degree. Please let me know if you do NOT plan on attending the luncheon.

Directions: The St. Mary Magdalene Church/School is located at 625 Magdala Place in Apex, NC 27502. We will be in the Activity Building which is the building on the right. Detailed driving directions can be found below.

Upcoming Meeting - Thursday March 11th 7:30pm

Brothers,

First let me say THANK YOU for an awesome turnout at the Mass this past Sunday. We had over 50 Knights in attendance and it was a wonderful event. Matt Stein did a perfect job managing all the details and idiosyncrasies involved in putting this together. Standing ovation for Matt!!

I’d like to encourage everyone to try and make it to the meeting this week. We have a couple important issues to discuss, upcoming diners, Status of the ultrasound program…

I hope to see everyone there.

Vivat Jesus.

Call For Help - Fish Fry this Friday.

Brothers,

We have a couple things that Bill needs some help with for this Friday’s Fish Fry. Aside from needing as many people as we can to help setup, serve and cleanup, we also need the following.

- We need someone who can pick up the Fryer Thursday or Friday morning from House Autry in Four Oaks.

- The weather might be a little wet, so if anyone has a pop up canopy or tent for the guys cooking outside, let us know.

Setup and prep will start about 3:30 at the Church and we’re hoping we end up with another huge crowd since this is the last Fish Fry for Lent.

Please let Bill or me know if you can assist.

Thank you,

SK Andrew Kotynski, Grand Knight

Knights of Columbus Eucharistic Mass

Dear Brother Knights,

Sorry for yet another email, but I wanted to say "thank you brothers" for your outstanding call to action!! We now have 51 Knights that will be attending. WOW!!! If any of you have a last minute schedule change and you find you can make it tomorrow, please feel free to "just show up"! We have ample seating and can absolutely accomodate more Knights!

As one last double check on the mornings schedule, we will meet in the cafeteria at 8:30 (but no later than 8:45) to organize, process in and sit as a group, and process out as a group. Suggested dress code is dress slacks with a suit jacket and tie, or suit and tie.

I'd also like to remind my brother 4th Degree Sir Knights they're welcome to participate in their tuxedos and social baldrics along with our brothers who will be in full regalia.

Contact me at 919.528.2783 or email madstein36@hotmail.com if you have any questions, and again, thank you all for you participation in this blessed event.

Yours in Christ,

Good morning everyone! Many of you asked me to remind you when we were close to the St. Baldrick's head shaving event for kids with cancer, and that takes place this Saturday. If there is any way you could support our efforts, it would be greatly appreciated by me and thousands of kids across our state and our country. If times are too tough, and you are not able to at this point, believe me, I certainly understand.

Hope you are well!

(I apologize if you received this twice, I'm having some email issues and most didn't receive it)

Each year over 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer. Many of you are close friends or a family member of one of these poor children and you know just how devastating this can be. Once you have looked into the eyes of a child who is battling for their life against cancer, you can't help but be changed forever. You know that everything else, every other "problem" you may be facing is really trivial compared to what these sweet, innocent children are going through. You also know very clearly that if enough people do not start taking action, hope begins to fade away for them very quickly. I've been sadly reminded that for the last three years in a row as we attended funerals for children who never should have suffered they way they did. That is why I am asking you again to support me with whatever you can to provide these kids with nothing more than just a little hope. A little hope that tomorrow will be better than today, and that if they can hang on for a couple more tomorrow's, help is on the way!

To raise money and awareness for children with cancer, I'll be shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's foundation on February 27th. The best way you can support me is by joining my team, and shaving your head with us to raise as much money as possible. If you cannot do that, the next best way is to click on the link below, and donate whatever you can. No amount is too small, and I can personally guarantee you that you will never look back and say, I never should have gave that money to children fighting cancer!

https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/participantid/371906

Too many children have lost their fight to this ruthless disease, I hope and pray that you will help us fight back!

I thank you in advance for your time, for your generosity, and for your compassion.

Mike
