Charity Unity Sealy Knights of Columbus The Round Table January 2015 Fraternity Patriotism A monthly newsletter published by Knights of Columbus, Father Crann Council No. 3313, Sealy, Texas Meeting Reminders Please take note of this month’s meeting dates: Regular Business Meeting Date: Thursday, January 8, 2015 Meal Time: 7:00 PM Meeting Time: 7:30 PM Place: Sealy KC Hall Officers Meeting Date: Thursday, January 22, 2015 Meal Time: 7:00 PM Meeting Time: 7:30 PM Place: Sealy KC Hall Main Kitchen Any KC member is invited and encouraged to attend both of these meetings. You’ll find out what’s going on in our Council and be able to take an active part by expressing your views and opinions on various issues. Attendance Prizes Too bad Brother Knights James Dzierzanowski, Ryan Klepser, and Stephen Berckenhoff weren’t present when their names were drawn at the December regular KC meeting. They all missed out on the opportunity to collect the attendance prize of $100.00. As a result, the attendance prize for the January 8 meeting will once again be $100.00. In addition, James Toman and Jesus Vidal each won a 12-pack of refreshments. Every Brother Knight of our Council has an equal chance of winning an attendance prize. To collect it, however, you must be present at the next regular membership meeting. In Appreciation We’d like to express a big “Thank you” to Bernice Stolarski for communicating with all forms of media concerning Sealy KC events. Thanks for all you do, Bernice!

Sports Fest Committee Guns purchased through Academy Sports & Outdoors. For tickets, please call (713) 296-9387 or e-mail [email protected]. CASINO NIGHT We hope the following will answer some common questions about the Casino Night we will be hosting along with our annual Sports Fest. This is to inform all of our ticket salespeople so you can all answer any question given by ticket buyers. This year we will be serving stew as our meal. Donations will be accepted. Persons possessing a gun raffle ticket stub will be given $25,000 of play money for each raffle ticket. If someone only wants to eat (say, your spouse), a wristband will be sold for $10.00. This only entitles the person to eat. If this person decides later that he or she would like to take part in the casino games, they can purchase a gun raffle ticket (while supplies last) and receive (a) a 1-in-30 chance of winning a gun, (b) $25,000 of play money, and (c) a stew meal. Yes, the gun raffle ticket is a better deal but not required for entry into the hall. If persons do not want the gun raffle ticket, they can purchase the wristband for the same price ($25.00) as the gun raffle ticket and receive $25,000 of play money. Everyone who wants to play casino games will have to pay the initial $25.00 either by purchasing a gun raffle ticket or just simply paying the door entry fee. Casino play will be from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. What do we do with the play money? We will have special items for a casino raffle. A ticket for the casino raffle will be exchanged for each $12,500 increment of play money. The more play money you have, the more tickets and chances to win a casino prize. Since play money is used, minors can also play the casino games. In addition, there will be a cash bar for refreshments and bingo pull tabs. Be sure you inform the people who pre-purchase the raffle tickets that they will need them to exchange for play money. We hope this will answer most of your questions. If you have any further questions, contact Bobby Hagen, Mark Faldyn, or Larry Kuciemba. BREAKING NEWS: We are currently accepting purchase and payment of Sports Fest raffle tickets via our website www.sealykofc.org and PayPal. To date, over 100 tickets have been purchased via PayPal.
