Dear Brother Sir Knights, Despite the weather, we are getting into those hazy lazy days of summer, which means we are getting closer to

PICNIC TIME

The Dooley Assembly Annual Picnic will be on Sunday, July 19, 2009 at Lion's Park in Westmont (located at the corner of Wilmette and Naperville Rd), at 11:00 A.M.
Our Faithful Friar Fr. David Turner will celebrate Mass for us (and hopefully bless THE COOKS).
Afterwards, we will relax and enjoy good food, even better company and games.
Cost is $5.00 per person or $15.00 for an immediate family.
The Assembly will provide meat and soft drinks. We ask that if your last name begins with:
A - L that you bring a salad to share
M - Z that you bring a dessert to share
It is also recommended that you bring lawn chairs.
Now the important thing. To insure that we have enough food for everyone, please start asking the members of your councils who plan to attend and how many people. You can either contact me (contact info below) or our Faithful Purser Steve Orzech (630) 739-9106.

The installation of officers will occur in place of the June officers meeting on Wednesday June 24th.
There will be a mass starting at 7pm followed by the installation.
All are invited to attend, families included. This will take place at the KC Hall.

Please view the schedule HERE of workers for:

Crusin' Nights 2009

If you have questions or comments or need to make any changes, please contact Marty Volk directly.

There will also be copies of this worker schedule at the hall. Keep in mind that Jim Murawski had done a lot of prep work prior to each of these previous events and with Jim's injury, he will be unavailable to help out. So any additional assistance would be great, including prep work Wednesday night.

For those of you on cleanup, part of this years responsibility will be to assist the Westmont Special Event crew with taking down signs and placing them in the shed.

Lastly, I wanted to address the cooks and bartenders. Last year the tips were collected and the funds were used to purchase the TV in the bar. I would like to do the same this year and have the tips go towards the purchase of a 40" TV or larger for the hall as well as an improved stereo system for both the hall and the bar. Thank you all in advance for the donation of your time. There are a few additional weeks this year and some different actvities scheduled. Please communicate any issues to Marty so they can be addressed prior to any scheduled night.

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.7 million members in 13000 councils. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people. The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.
