Council 4442 Knightly News
From the Desk of the Grand Knight:
Brothers,
If you sponsor a candidate, your work doesn't end when he makes his
first degree. Follow your new knight through the degrees. It means a lot
to the new member that you “show up” and support him. Equally
important, get him involved in the activities of the council. Break the ice
for him, personally invite him to join in. He might be intimidated watching
the meetings and reluctant to “barge in.” In a GK meeting, I heard the
expression, “A new member is like a bright, shiny apple on a tree. If you
don't pick the apple, it will rot on the vine and fall to the ground.” Don't
ignore your new member and let him “fall out” of the council.
Read the December issue of “Columbia” and in particular, read the
Supreme Knight's article (pp 3-6) on a new KofC initiative, Building the
Domestic Church While Strengthening Our Parish”. This initiative will
change some of our programs and the ways Knights deal with our parish.
This December, there are MANY ways for you to volunteer and help out
our parish and community. Read this newsletter and make note of ways
to help . Give the gift of your time and talents! Make a difference.
Merry Christmas and Vivat Jesus,
Paul St.Amand

Where you find the center of the truth, look for
the one person that is in the line of Peter. A
Book can be duplicated, we’re up to 30,000
denominations. Joy of Gospel – Pope says it is
the program for the church, our gift is to use the
Joy of the Gospel to keep us aligned and
moving forward in the right direction. Jesus said
“I came that you might have fullest life” you
have not asked for anything in my name “ask for
it” so that your joy may be complete. Spreading
“Can I have an
the Joy of the Gospel requires people to be
AMEN!”

Christmas Toy Distribution – Alan Phair
From Alan Phair: (This is a listing of what remains in the schedule)
Bag Ladies and Knights
2. Our toy distribution center will again be at 356 South Broadway in the plaza
where Harbor Freight Tools is. The distribution nights will be on Tuesday
December 15th and Thursday Dec 17th, starting at 6:00PM. We need a lot of
people to help recipients pick out toys so if you and/or your wife or any adult can
make it on a certain day or both, please let me know. As in the past, I will do
my best to schedule people based on their availability and the needs of the
fund. Email me on which day(s) you can help. Usually, we are done by nine
o'clock.. If you have never done this before, please show up at 5:30 so we can
show you the ropes.
Santa's helpers - 2014
I will be in contact with people via email with any updates. This is a very busy
season for all of us, but this is such a worthy cause, and we all know how warm
we feel after helping out that it is well worth our efforts. This is the Salem Christmas Funds 40th year. Without the
Knights jumping in when asked back in 2001, the program would most likely not be in existence today. As many of you
know, I started my new job as Town Administrator in Atkinson on Tuesday Nov 17th so my day time availability will be
limited, which means I am going to need more help than ever to get all this done.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give us…Again, contact me at: Alan Phair, Cell 603-401-1001 Email:
[email protected]
P.S. Don’t forget that if you have the ability to do so, a contribution to the fund would be greatly appreciated. Checks can
be sent to the Salem Christmas Fund, PO Box 1234, Salem NH 03079 or you can visit our new web site at
www.SalemChristmasFund.org and make a credit card donation on-line.
Finally, and even more important, if you find yourself in a situation where you need help or you know a family that needs
assistance, please let me know. Arrangements can be made for private toy pickups for example so that no one will know
other than myself. I can guarantee you won’t be the first nor the last to need assistance. Our goal has always been to
never let a family go without necessary food, clothing, or children without toys under the tree.
May God Bless all of you for all you do to help us each year…….Alan

and chairs were moved from the
school garage to the Toy
Distribution site on South
Broadway by seven Brothers.

Manger Set-up at St. Joseph Church
We can't find three wise
men nor a virgin.
On Sunday, Nov 22, a hearty
band of six apprentice carpenters
worked to set up the Manger at
St. Joseph Church. Under the
watchful eye of Maryann Murack,
union steward, and the direction
of master carpenter Jim Frahm,
the job was done on time and
under budget.
Jim Frahm, when
you gonna join?
But looking ahead, there were
calls at the December meeting to get a new structure. Proposals at the council ranged from a Plexiglas enclosure like that
at MQP, to a pre-fab, inflatable barn, to a three story granite edifice tied into the Tuscan Kitchen redevelopment plan. The
GK wisely tabled the discussion to the spring. (How come we can't get Jim Frahm into the Knights? - ed)

Assembly 641 news:
Richard Botti 4th degree - Nov 21

his degree, supported by (l to r in picture) Bill
Richards, Paul St. Amand, (Richard Botti), Dennis
Groulx and Ken Akerley.
Lots of colorful hats!
Christmas Parade- Nov 29
The good ship Santa Marie was on display at the Salem Christmas Parade. There were ten Sir Knights marching in
regalia, three taking a cruise ride, Mike Banks towing the float, four knights riding in cars and trucks, (and 48 people as
support staff at the hall, eating and snacking after we marched by. -ed) Thanks go to Dave Thompson for his marvelous
hot soup and sandwiches, and to Wayne Griffin, Frank Saglime, Bill McCarthy, and Rick Dube who marched with the Sir
Knights of our council.
Jim Broadhurst: “You
guys have tickets to
ride this boat?”

Good, only two
more hours to wait.
Hey Mike, there's a boat
following us. Can we eat yet?
Does this count as “hand free” texting?
How many marchers? How many support staff?

Christmas Party
“What a party!” A big THANK YOU to Wil and Tina (a.k.a. “Lucy”)
Boutin, who put together a great Christmas party at the hall on
Saturday night. The food was excellent. (Lenzi's Catering, family style,
all-you-can-eat, soup, salad, ham, beef, potato, broccoli, strawberry
shortcake.) Vocalist / DJ Gino DiMaio had the joint dancing away.
Happy birthday to George Spates and Bill Fergueson. Fr. John even
made a trip over from the Holy Land for a surprise visit.
“Did Larry pay?”
It was Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday, so there was a common theme to
the music. We all had fun, and we all “did it my way.”

At the State Quarterly meeting, a collection of baby items will be gathered to distribute to 15 pregnancy care centers in
NH. Each council is asked to collect items. I will buy a laundry basket (the recommended “bin” for packing, as the basket

Is someone you know looking to earn extra money?
Our Bingo managers, Lou Stella and Paul Simard, are looking to train one
or two qualified people to learn the management side of Bingo. Lou and
Paul are looking to share the load that our Council's biggest fund raising
effort demands. Lou, in particular, is looking to train his eventual
replacement so that he and Maryann can enjoy their retirement more.
Perhaps you’re not ready to take on a job that requires every Wednesday
or Friday night throughout the year. But, how about someone close to
you, like a son or daughter, or your wife? Can a part time job and its pay make a difference
to someone in your family? Do you know a man who is qualified to join the Knights and might be
willing to learn more about Bingo management?
The first, and most important, trait that you must bring to the job is honesty. Everything else can be learned if you
are someone who has good math skills, is a good ‘people person’, and can supervise a team with diplomacy and
understanding. There are reports to be filed and rules to be followed, but you’ll be trained by the best. Paul and Lou are
not going anywhere; they will be there to help you get settled into the position. At present, the Bingo events are held over
in Hudson, about 15 miles from Salem, so you’ll need a car or a dependable ride.
It’s not a volunteer job. It’s a serious commitment…and you get paid to do it. So ask around your family. Call Lou
Stella at 978-683-6313. He’ll answer all of your questions, and he’ll explain the whole process for you.

Understanding Engineers
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning behind a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello George, What's wrong with them?”
The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a
fire last year, so we always let them play for free!"
The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if here's anything she can do
for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"
