Dear Brother Knights,

        1. Congratulations to Kirby Falcon, who was picked as Knight of the Year, and James and Ezel Cherry as Family of the Year.

        2. The Awards and Recognition banquet that was held in June was a big success even though the weather didn't help out. Congratulations to all Brother Knights who received their service pins and certificates. Anyone who didn't attend the banquet and were scheduled to received their pins can contact James Cherry at 868-7579, and make arrangements to get them. No pins or Certificates will be mailed. They will be available at our meetings held on the second Tuesday of each month. "Don't miss out".

        3. We would like to congratulate James Cherry on completing 20 years as a charter Financial Secretary of our Council. Butch Tastet presented him with a Certificate of Merit in recognition for outstanding performance as Financial Secretary for the past twenty years, and in support of the KC Insurance program. James official retirement date is June 30, 2000. Thanks for the outstanding service. His replacement will be announced sometime after March.

        4. Some members have not paid their dues for 1999. Please avoid suspension by promptly mailing it to James Cherry. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone sent their dues before he leaves.
