Grand Knight Corner - Chuck Baur
Good Day Brother Knights,
I pray that everyone is doing well.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 6/19/2025 at 6 PM, at the Parish Hall.
I decided to try something different when it comes to our meeting times. Since some Knights cannot make Wednesday meetings and some Knights cannot make Thursday meetings, we will have one meeting a month on Wednesdays and one Meeting a month on Thursdays. That way if you are a Knight you should be able to make at least one meeting a month.
Highlights from last meeting: Grand Knight Chuck Baur moved that we support Micah’s Way, a well managed homeless support group in Santa Ana, with a $500 donation. Motion was seconded and approved. Trustee John Gleason moved that we support Christo Rey HS in Santa Ana with a $500 donation. They supplied the most student volunteers at the Car Show last year. Motion was seconded and approved.
Council Advocate Ray Wilde suggested Knight's meetings need a Spiritual Component which the council had conducted in the past. This would hopefully provide some additional interest for members, beyond just a “business only” atmosphere. This should be provided by the Council Lecturer which is vacant at this time. Trustee John Gleason said he would be glad to work on that and provide a Lecturer's presentation at council meetings.
We held our annual Intellectual Disabled Drive and we collected $3,198.67 from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. The Intellectually Disabled Drive is going to take place at Saint John Vianney Chapel on 6-21-25 and Sunday 6-22-25 after each Mass. We need your help to collect money for this charity. Thanks to all who participated this weekend.
Since we did not have a quorum (eight members), we where not able to vote on anything, like giving money away to a charity, New Officers or starting any new fundraisers. This is the third meeting in a row that we did not have a quorum for the meeting and we have 75 members. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SHOW UP FOR THE MEETINGS.
1. We need to discuss donations to more charities.
2. We need to discuss the men who want to become Knights.
3. Our next meeting we will discuss voting on new officers. I am sure there are members that would like to see a change in Officer Positions. For example, Trustee John Gleason wishes to be nominated for Lecturer.
4. We will discus "Beach Parking" at OLMC for the summer.
Thank you and God Bless,
Chuck Baur
