| KNIGHT OF THE MONTH is Bernie Cleary. In a quiet way, Bernie does great work for our council. Last year he planned our golf outing and will be doing the same this year (see upcoming events). Bernie helps with feeding the homeless and visits at the manor. Rumor has it that Bernie is the "go to person" whenever the Chamber has any questions about our community! Congratulations and thank you Bernie for all you do for our council and the community. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A MESSAGE FROM OUR DISTRICT
DEPUTY This month I begin my 4th and final year as your District Deputy. As always I look forward to the challenges ahead. I would like to congratulate both the Waunakee and Oregon councils for making Star Council. They both but on a last push to gain their membership and insurance members. Three of my five councils will have new leadership guiding their council. This is an exciting time for all of us. With new leadership come new ideas. We will have a chance to share those new ideas at the District Meeting coming up July 31 at St. Andrews in Verona at 7:00 p.m. This is our opportunity to get all 5 councils leadership together to develop a strategy for this new fraternal year. Finally I am always in awe at all the volunteer time you put in to your community, church, family and youth and have tons of fun doing it. Have a great year! Vivat Jesus! Bill Brosius |
