DANIEL SCHEEL HOME ASSOCIATION Knight of the Month - May Board of Directors Randy Schleisman President Richard Carter (Cindy) 713-253-8432 Randy has been a quiet supporter of Council [email protected] 8482 working in the background to support our Council programs. When a call goes out for help with an event or Vice-President program Randy is always ready to do what he can. When Bill Vacek (Mary) the Home Association replaced the tile in the hall kitchen, 713-259-8266 Randy volunteered equipment and personnel to remove the old vinyl tile and [email protected] waterproof the concrete surface in preparation for the new vinyl floor. This saved the Home Association a significant amount of cost for the tile replacement Secretary and time if the job was done by the Council members. Having seen the final Larry Hildebrand (Pat) product I can say that he did a superior job compared to what we would have 713-294-3092 gotten from others. Recently he stepped up again by loaning an industrial power [email protected] washer to clean the parking lot and painting the driveway. Treasurer Randy is a regular EMHC at 7:30 am Mass. On those occasions when John Adams (Pam) he is not an EMHC he will help as an Usher. He is an active member in the 281-435-5434 ACTS committee (personal note: He was my prayer partner when I attended my [email protected] ACTS Retreat in 2015). He helps with That Man is You and often contributes material at TMIY meetings to help with our prayer and religious life. He is a contributor to Warrior in the Mankind Project since 2006. Thank you Randy Year 2019 for all you do for the Council. Richard Carter (Cindy) 713-253-8432 [email protected] Family of the Month - May Larry Hildebrand (Pat) Richard & Cindy Carter 713-294-3092 [email protected] As volunteers, Richard and Cindy are part of the Prince of Peace Harvest Ministry where they pick up Matt Maciejeski food donations from Whole Foods and deliver them to 713-858-2059 the Food Pantry.

As part of the Sandwich Makers Ministry, along with other parishioners, make sack lunches Year 2020 for the homeless suffering from MH/MR issues. As members of the Sandwich Larry LaHaie (Melinda) Drivers Ministry, Richard and Cindy once a month drop off the sandwiches at 281-935-1994 the Bristow Center in downtown Houston. The lunches provide an incentive for [email protected] the homeless to come to the center for their medicine and treatment. They are also part of the Meals on Wheels Program delivering meals to the elderly and handicapped in Tomball. In addition Richard and Cindy find time to partici- Smitty Schmidt (Paula) pate in NAM's grocery deliveries when called upon by Prince of Peace as well. 713-937-3784 [email protected] Richard has been a faithful Knight of Council 8482 for over 25 years. He is currently, in my second term, President of the Home Association where Bill Vacek (Mary) Richard has devoted many hours repairing, maintaining, and improving the fa- 713-259-8266 cility which is very apparent to all who use the hall. He is also the Zaka Road [email protected] Family Center Rental Manager so when you need a meeting or an event space give Richard a call. Year 2021 Presently Richard is a Bar Team Captain, and a member of the Home Association By-Laws Committee. In the past, he also served as an Inside Guard Vince Bonura (Patricia) and a member of the Scholarship Committee. Richard also is a long time mem- 281-740-2346 ber of the First Degree Team.
