THE DE SOTO KNIGHT NOVEMBER 2015

Volume 15, Issue 6

Serving the parishes of Christ the King, Holy Spirit, St. Gregory, and Good Shepherd

As all know we lost one of our

extended family members on

September 25, 2015—Carolyn

Grayson wife of William Gray-

son, a member of our Council,

passed away.

We all will keep Carolyn in

our prayers as well as the en-

tire Grayson Family. We send

to Bill our deepest sympa-

thies and condolences. May

God keep her in His arms and

hold her close. Rest in Peace

Carolyn….

This is the time of year when we gather with our families

and give thanks for all of our blessings that we have re-

ceived during the year, and this also applies to our

Knights of Columbus Council and Assembly Family. As a

KofC family we need to thank God for the blessings that

he has bestowed upon us and believe me there are

many—our talented officers and our members who work

to make our council productive and successful, the many

activities that have been chaired by members - such as

the Blood Drive, those who work the Fall Fest, the Color

Corps who provide the Honor Guard at our members

and/or their wives funerals, those who set up the Pump-

kin Patch and work so hard to make it successful, those

who work the Pancake Breakfast, the Coats for Kids pro-

gram, the Soccer Challenge, to all of these and to our

members who work behind the scenes to make these

activities a success we give thanks. Just like any family

we will have some disagreement, but I like to think that

in the end we will all do our best to make the project a

huge success. To all we wish a Happy Thanksgiving—

may you and your family be showered with blessings

from above.

Ted Lander

Grand Knight

PUMPKINS HAVE ARRIVED

On October 4, 2015 the Pumpkins arrived—the help

we had was tremendous—instead of taking 5 or 6

hours, like it did last year, this year it took a little

over 1 hour to unload– we thank all who took part in

this work.

We even had the Mayor of Horn

Lake working—thanks Mister Mayor

Got to check those football scores—right

Are you interested in acting? Do you like being in front of people? Can you

read from a script? If so we have an opportunity for you!!!! Our First Degree

Captain Ken Lubbers wants you!!! He is in need of members to help with the

degree — he needs people who have the ability to act. The first degree is like a

play in 5 acts—the Warden is the first act; then the Chancellor is the second

act—the third act is the Deputy Grand Knight, fourth act is the Grand Knight

and finally the Financial Secretary is the final act. We need people to help with

these parts—some of us are getting older and need understudies. We also

need a person to play the music—no not play as a piano player but someone

who can turn on a disc player and follow the script. So if acting is in your blood

or you just want to be part of the most important degree in the KofC then con-

tact Ken Lubbers or e-mail me, Fred Ward, with your name and e-mail address

and phone number. WE NEED PEOPLE SO JOIN US ON THE FIRST DEGREE

TEAM!!!!

The Fourth Degree is selling the BEST BOOKS full of coupons for $20.00—for the

$20.00 you will get the current Best Book for 2015 and the new Best Book for

2016 — This is the only fundraiser that the Fourth Degree has and it needs to be

successful. Your support is needed—we still have a few books to sell and need to

wind this up by the 17th of November — So if you have not purchased any or

have not had a chance to sell any please do so — have the money in at the next

Fourth Degree Meeting.

Sacred Heart School has requested an Honor Guard for their Veterans Day Celebration on

Wednesday November 11 at their 10:00AM Mass - Please make time for this — I will be

Do you Remember?

Many years ago Christ the King Church use to have a Parish Picnic—now we call it the Fall Fest—The

Knights were very active in that activity for the Parish — The pictures below are just some of the many

pictures that I have and since the Fall Fest is upon us I thought it might be interesting to see these

“old” pictures again. Many of the Brother Knights in these pictures are of course gone now but there

and Father Pat LLoyd

Brother Knights who loved to cook from L to R:
