The nominating committee will be offering its recommendations for the elected slate of officers at our May business meeting next Tuesday, May 7. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the parish hall.
The May 7 meeting also will include a vote on electing Victor Karl to fill the vacancy of deputy grand knight through the June 30 end of our fraternal year. This upcoming vote was announced at our March and April business meetings.
Brother Knight Victor Karl was among the many Knights who were regulars in the school kitchen for our recent Lenten fish fry dinners.
The elected officers are grand knight, deputy grand knight, chancellor, treasurer, warden, advocate (parliamentarian), inside guard, outside guard (2), and trustee (three-year term). Two current trustees will continue to serve the remainder of their staggered three-year terms.
Our annual election of officers will be held at the June 4 business meeting for a term that begins July 1. The new officers will formulate a proposed budget and calendar of events in the coming weeks.
Appointed director positions include lecturer, programs, faith and church, community, pro-life, family, membership, retention, insurance, vocations, health, and public relations.
The new grand knight annually makes the appointments.
In addition, our council sponsors many programs that need program directors.
Many are one-day events such as the luminaries that we place around the church on Christmas Eve, our Easter Egg Hunt, the annual Mass in remembrance of deceased members held in November, and the annual senior citizens’ Thanksgiving dinner held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
Luminaries are placed around the church on Christmas Eve by our council every year.
