Dear Brother Knights and Family, July and August have quickly passed and we are coming into football season. This brings many great opportunities for Brotherhood. As the weather cools off, remem-ber to watch for children going back to school and enjoy the upcoming events. Thanks for all the help at Bingo and especially all the hard work that the Bingo Man-agers do to make it successful. We’ve seen an increase in the numbers at Bingo and I think it can be attributed to all the planning and hard work that they do. And con-gratulations to our Knight of the Month for August 2013 - PGK Ed Lambe. It is well deserved for all the time and effort that he puts into making the council great. There

are a lot of events happening in September so keep your eye on the council calendar and help out when you can. Keep in your prayers: Fr McGivney, our troops, and all the sick and/or in distress Brothers and family. Go to Mass and pray the Rosary often. Upcoming Events for September: Sep 1st – Labor Day Picnic– 12-3pm Sep 7th - State Training at the hall 9am-12pm Sep 13th - Monkey Bottom Practice – 6pm @ OVLL fields Sep 14th - Road Cleanup – 9am Sep 15th – Sunday Breakfast 9-11am Sep 17th - 1st Degree at 7

LOTKA News Our first meeting for this year will be at 7pm on Thursday, Sept 5

th. We always welcome new

members. You are strongly requested to bring at least one idea or topic you want to know more

about in the coming year. EVERYONE is asked to think of something or someone you would like

to visit our group. There are 7 months that we need to have a speaker and/or topic for and it is

much easier if you all participate in this. I will bring snacks for that night and we will have a list for all to decide which month you want to cover.

Don’t forget about the annual Labor Day picnic at

the club. Good chance to meet our new Grand Knight, Pat Nash and see some of your friends
