First I would like to express my gratitude to each of you for the opportunity to be your Grand Knight for another year. My first goal is to improve on our last year’s record in the area of recruiting and insurance. I would like to thank outgoing DGK Gerald Fey and Warden Bill Daniels for their hard work and dedication to this council; I know they will continue to be an asset to us. Please help me welcome our incoming officers: Dan Stift – Deputy Grand Knight Inside Guard - Gary Cabigon Chancellor – Bill Bailey Outside Guard – Tom Masterson Recorder – Steve Boswell Outside Guard – Roger Moore Treasurer – Pat Quinn One Year Trustee – Ed Rzeszotarski Advocate – Carl Mangine Two Year Trustee – Roy Stuart Warden – Dave Dumas Three Year Trustee- Ramiro Rodriquez Please join us for the installation of officers at 5:30pm on Friday, July the 8th . Many thanks to Deacon George Vick and Larry Gladu for attending the State Convention. Look for their report later in this newsletter. On July 4th, join your Brother Knights and their families to watch the parade and stay to enjoy the family day activities at the hall. See you all there! There will be a Major Degree Exemplification (Second and Third Degree) on August 6 – Council 7965 St. Helena in San Antonio. If you or someone you know needs to advance in their degrees, please let David Dumas or myself know. This would be an excellent opportunity to advance your Knighthood degree. Candidates cost will be paid by the Council. At this time, it looks like our Knights Choir will be singing for the morning Mass. Let’s get as many people as possible to come and get their 2nd and 3rd degrees at this time. I would like to thank everyone for your continued hard work and dedication in our council activities. Every member’s assistance and participation makes a difference. Thank you! Congratulations to the Knight of the Month for June – Ed Rzeszotarski Congratulations to the Family of the Month for May – Jerry and Rita Kirstein Congratulations to the Family of the Month for June – Carl and Lydia Sanders Let us pray, Jesus, Mary & Joseph, the Holy Family, Guide Us.

Mother Teresa Assembly No. 2523 Message from the Faithful Navigator of Assembly 2523 Our Assembly Officers’ Election was held during the June Monthly Business Meeting with Installation of Officers on July 18th at 6:30P.M. at the Council 6358 Hall, in lieu of our regular monthly meeting. There will be a $5.00 per plate charge for the meal. The Comptroller will begin taking reservations from now until Noon, Friday, July 8th. After having the privilege of being your Assembly Navigator for the past 3 years, I want to thank each and every Sir Knight and his Lady for the confidence they had in me for this office. Having been the F. Navigator for 3 years, it is time for “New Blood” to lead your Assembly; I decided to not run for re-election for a 4th term. Also, this will be my last “Navigator’s Corner” for the Newsletter and I am waiting to read the Newsletter in July that will be written by your newly elected F. Navigator, SK Melroy Brandt. SK Brandt has been a Brother Knight since 1960 and a Sir Knight since 2005 from which he has a wealth of K of C experience to “Navigate” your Assembly into the future. The Installation of Officers Ceremony and Banquet will be held at the Hall on Monday, July 18th with the Social Time beginning at 6:30P.M. The Installation of Officers Ceremony will begin at 7:15P.M., with the Banquet to follow. There will be a $5.00 per person charge with the deadline for making the Reservation/Payment is Noon, Friday, July 8th at the Hall. At this time, we are planning for Finger Food for the social period, and for the Dinner: Club Steaks, a garden salad, 2 vegetables, and tea and cobbler pie. Hopefully, between now and the meal, the wholesale price of beef will not go up so much that we are priced out of the market. Please come out and support the new officers who will be installed into office for the 2011- 2012 Fraternal Year. Dress for this occasion will be a Tux for those Sir Knights who will be installed into office with Church appropriate dress for the Membership and their Lady. The Sir Knights who were elected as Assembly officers at the June meeting are listed below. The following Sir Knights are celebrating their Birthday in the month of July, 2011: Michael Rademacher, Bill Ohler, Richard Henke, Jose Galindo, Bill Coad, Rudy Holguin, Rodric Morrogh, Donald Sladky, Roger Moreau, Jack Perry, Mark Delaney and Ed Higgs. To these Sir Knights, we wish them a very happy day to celebrate their birth and that they look forward to having many more.
