Starting with the September meeting we will call up to three names for a winner of the attendance prize instead of just one. Thanks to everyone who came out to our Active Shooter Awareness session with Mr. Stephen Daniel with the Houston Police Department. It was well attended and very informative. If you would like to see more programs and activities like this, please let us know! Pitifully, not one Brother Knight volunteered for any of the 6 director positions posted in last month's newsletter. Our first informal Beer Fest 2015 meeting will be held on September 25 at 7:00 p.m. All interested Brother Knights, members of the Ladies Auxiliary and Catholic Daughters are invited. Please make an effort to recruit a new member. If you are a member, please make an effort to become more involved. September, 2014 (Vol. 33, No. 9) When understanding is in short supply, when kindness is limited and when forgiveness is nowhere to be found, it takes great courage for a follower of Christ to stand firm in the belief Christ is there to protect and save. If one can say that trust is the foundation of faith, then spiritual courage is the corner stone on which everything relies. It takes unwavering spiritual courage to follow Christ and his teachings. Anyone can follow Christ and his teachings when life is good. However, it takes immense spiritual courage to give of yourself to the Lord when one is faced with uncertainty, trials, heartache, vice, sin, and personal selfishness. Where does spiritual courage come from and how can we obtain such a virtue? Spiritual courage begins when we make the decision in our hearts that nothing in this life is more important than the will of the Lord. Once that decision has been freely made by us, the Lord then begins to forge in our hearts the desire to serve him with every fiber of our being. Be certain in your heart and your spirit that you are willing to courageously surrender all that you have and all that you know for the will of the Lord. Learn to be humbly courageous in the will of the Lord when he gives great gifts. Also be resolutely courageous in the will of the Lord when those same gifts are taken from you. Show spiritual courage in the face of good times and bad times so the name of the Lord will receive praise. FAMILY DIRECTOR John Buck Brother Brian Kubiak, Knight of the Month for July. Larry & Rita Tobias, Family of the Month for July. At the September Council Officers’ Meeting, we will set a date for the Pro-Life movie "BLOOD MONEY.” This movie takes a critical look into the dark origins of abortion. Since September and October are both activity-filled months, we will try to set the date in November. This movie showing will be open to all members, families and friends. STILL GROWING!!! Brother Raymond Kutzur’s name was drawn at the July meeting. Since Brother Kutzur was not present, the attendance prize increases to $230. Please plan to attend the September meeting.

SENIOR CLUB The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 9 We will have hamburgers. Please bring a dessert. NorthSide Columbus Club John Buck We had a great turnout for the August Council Workday. With this turnout, we accomplished over 30 tasks, some needing more effort and time than others, but we had all of the tools and equipment put away and finished all of the jobs before noon. The main jobs that these men performed were: cleaned the BBQ room, made plumbing repairs, spread dirt, washed the windows, power washed the building, trimmed the ditch, policed the grounds, trimmed the hedges, sprayed weeds, painted striping, refrigeration repairs, cleaned the halls, washed trash cans, and all of the smaller tasks. Thank you for the wonderful turnout and all your help. Our regular weekly yard and maintenance workers were: Joe Pavlik, Tony Lewandowski, Don Christen, Floyd Rekieta, and John Buck. Thank you for your dedication. Saturday workers were: Jimmy Dziedzic, John Buck, Doug Wendt, Don Christen, Mike Kloss, Richard Pavlas, Robert Bratton, David Cornelius, Bennie Bronikowski, Leo Landry, Billy Hoffart, Bill Selvaggi, Charlie Heinrich, Rick Nowak, Nick Navarro, Robert Miller, Ben Kaminski, Joe Braunagel, Joe Earthman, Tony Lewandowski, Dennis Kubiak, Larry Tobias, Troy Tobias, Pete Rodriguez, Lydia Clifton, and the Okonski family--Ed Sr., Ed Jr., Ed III, Greg, and Connor. What a showing from the Okonski family! Our 2 youngest workers were Connor, son of Ed Okonski Jr. and Troy, son of Larry Tobias. Thank you Eddie and Larry for your support and bringing your boys out— hopeful future members of KC Council 2917—and keeping the family tradition of joining the Knights of Columbus. A quick note on the age of volunteer workers, I do not know all of the workers ages so I guessed on some: two 30 year olds, two 40 year olds, five 50 year olds, ten 60 year olds, one 70 year old and four 80 year olds. This shows you that you are not too young or too old to join our council volunteer work group. Using the above information on the age of our volunteers, this information needs to be applied to our recruitment direction. Council 2917 is trying to restart the Squires program. We have a new member of Council 2917 employed by St. Pius X high school who is interested in making an effort to initiate the restart of the Squires at St. Pius. By restarting the Squires, we will have a new avenue to strengthen our ranks and continue the worthy goals of our organization. DOMINO RESULTS Moon Tournament Winners for August 4 1st Place: Angie Heinrich 2nd Place: Billy Wojtasczyk 3rd Place: Glen Miller Next Moon Tournament is Sept. 1 All members and their families are invited to join us for our annual Family Day. A free meal will be provided for all members, their spouses and children under 18 years of age. The meal is also free to members of the Ladies Auxiliary and their spouses. The cost of the meal for non-members is $3.00. Dinner will be served from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. There will be no “to go” dinners served. After dinner, the council will present the awards—Knight and Family of the month awards and the council’s most prestigious and highest award—Family and Knight of the Year. Family and Knight of the Year awards are chosen from the monthly Family and Knight awards. Candidates for these awards are selected by their activities and charitable work within their church, community, and council. If you know of a member that fits into these categories, please inform the grand knight, council officers, or family director of his work. Since our council membership belongs to many different parishes, the council officers do not know what the member is doing within his parish or community—we only know how involved and active he is within Council 2917. Please make plans to attend this event to honor these well deserved men and women. Come enjoy the afternoon with your KC family. Play cards, dominoes, or watch a football game on our large projection screen. This event will again be held at Collins Park, 6727 Cypresswood Dr. We will need many volunteers to help at this event. We will need help between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We will be cutting and bagging fruit and other snacks in the morning, in addition to cooking and serving hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. We will serve lunch to the athletes and their families. Please contact Advocate, Brother Brett Owens, at 979-324-5099 if you are able to volunteer.

Wilhelm Assembly Liaison Cell: 713-206-1318 [email protected] LADIES' AUXILIARY Kelly Clawson, President Dear Ladies, Summer is officially over for me. I'm back at school and into the swing of things again. Why does it wait until we go back to school to get so hot? Maybe someone knows that the school a/c units can't handle that much heat and break so I then have to sit in meetings sweating! Even new units didn't help this year. Oh cold weather please get here soon! Please remember our next meeting will be September 17 at 7:00 pm. Please make plans to attend. KC Family Day will be on September 21st. Lunch will be served from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. Lunch for KC members and Ladies Auxiliary members is free. However, if you want to bring guests, there will be a nominal fee of $3.00. Since we, Ladies Auxiliary, just furnished the desserts for Summer Fling, I don't want to ask you to bring them in again so soon. I am suggesting that we purchase some big cakes with our funds. We will discuss this at the September meeting. On another note—I have been told the Texans game will be shown on the big screen for those who want to watch. Thanks to the Bingo kitchen workers for July: Earline Okruhlik, Sandra Rekieta, Mary McWhorter, Dorothy Urbanovsky, Angie Heinrich, Theresa Burkett, Mickie Wendt, Kathy Bronikowski.
