May has always been my favorite calendar month for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it is my birth month. In addition, I love that we can now experience the blooming of the flowers, the warmth of the spring sun, and the increased hours of daylight that can be used for any number of household projects and barbeques.
Here at our Council, May is month of the State Convention, the election of the officers for all of our respective entities (with the exception of the Swim Club), as well as the last month before the opening of the pool and the picnic grove for the much anticipated summer season. Yes, a lot of effort and energy is expended in the month of May, and I would like to take this time to thank everyone in advance who has contributed in any way to these efforts, either by running for an office, volunteering at a work party or working in any way to help us.
May 5th will mark a special day at our Council home as we are honoring Sister Ann Domenic for her 70th Jubilee in service to our Lord, (as well as her upcoming 90th birthday). As we all should know, Sister Ann has been a pillar of the community, serving various township committees, and working closely with the disadvantaged in providing her food pantry, and of course for her long association with Camp Fatima. One night is not nearly enough time to celebrate all of her contributions to us, to St. Michael’s and to the community. Congratulations Sister Ann!
With the opening of the pool on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, we have also scheduled a Blood Drive for that day. If you will be attending the opening day Mass, please consider making a donation as well.
In addition, the opening Mass will continue our recognition of those Knights and their families who have served their country, with this year’s commemoration honoring the Vietnam War Vets. As a father of a soldier about to be deployed to Afghanistan, I am now prouder than ever of our servicemen and women, and want to thank all of them for their personal sacrifices.
Vivat Jesus!
