NEXT MEETING is on Wednesday, June 18th, beginning at 8 PM. Reminder: We are starting at 8:00PM for June, July and August!

BROTHER KNIGHT CARL "TULLY" DIERICKS passed away May 20th. Our council tradition is to honor our deceased members by sending a Mass memorial to the Apostolate to the Handicapped. We offer our sympathy to Tully's family.

KNIGHT OF THE MONTH is DENNIS HAMPTON. Dennis has been a St. John's parish member for 20+ years. He joined our council in April 2007. Dennis was a leader at our April 19th bowling tournament celebration. Because of his work, the attendees enjoyed a great evening. Dennis helps with many other council events and supports St. John's in many other ways. Congratulations!

OUR COUNCIL DONATED TO THE STATE COUNCIL for Catholic Education (PKD) in the amount of $1178.00. This was made possible because many members donated $3.65 or more when paying their annual dues. For the second straight year we earned the award for donating at least $3.65 for each registered member in our council. Thank you for your generosity.

ON MAY 3RD, FOUR MEMBERS RECEIVED THEIR SECOND AND THIRD DEGREES at St. Al's in Sauk City. Congratulations to Dean Winters, Seamus Murphy, Greg Schmitz and Erik Hayko. Thanks to Rick Raemisch for organizing our participation.

THE 2008 BOWLING TOURNAMENT LEADERS met with the State Committee on May 10. Our council hosted the meeting at the Village Center. A great amount of time has been spent on the tournament records, issuing prize checks, creating reports and many other post tournament details. Once again, tournament leaders stepped forward to get the job done. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a huge success for our council.
