COUNCIL ACTIVITIES

 

  
MINUTES FROM 11/22/06 AND 12/27/06

       This is a combined minute report for the council meetings for Nov. and Dec. The Dec. Meeting was for only 15 minutes followed by a social event.  The Council meeting for Nov. was called to order at 7:05 pm by the Grand Knight.  A prayer (Our Father) was lead by the Grand Knight as well as the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag".  A motion was made to except the minutes from the last meeting.  A second was made to the motion and all voted for the acceptance of the minutes.  Because this meeting was the night before Thanksgiving, there was a sparse membership present. This resulted in a short meeting. The following officers were present; Grand Knight, Deputy Grand Knight, Chancellor, Treasurer, Recorder and Outside Guard.
