Will the Council re-instate the tradition of making a donation of $100 to a charity chosen by the Knight and Family of the Month? If approved, to be applied in 2025 and going forward.
Please enter the reason for this post.
At the last officer meeting a motion was approved to petition the Council to add great-grandchildren to the list of eligible applicants for the Archie Myers Scholarship. The program currently requires the applicant to be a son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter of a member in good standing. Owing to the advance ages of our members it was recommended we include great-grandsons and great granddaughters.
The family of SK Ray Newman has generously donated $1,500 to the council in memory of SK Ray Newman and his wife Beverly. The Officers recommend that the whole amount be set aside as the Ray Newman Memorial Scholarship.
Will the council vote to use monies allocated, but not spent on, the Right to Life Dinner for the Bishop’s Annual Appeal as requested by Bishop McDermott?
The budget has an allocation of $1000 for the Chittenden County RTL Dinner for food. In addition the St Stephen’s Council sent us a check for $100 to support the same event. We actual spent about $700 leaving a balance up to $400. Bishop McDermott has asked us to give more this year for the Bishop’s Fund than the $200 we gave last year. There is no allocation for the Bishop’s Fund in the Budget. The Officers passed a motion to Warn the $400 to the council.
