CHAPTER PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
My Brother Knights:
I want to thank you for attending this Chapter meeting hosted by St Charles, Imperial Beach and Grand Knight Hermie Francisco.
The month of October was indeed an unusually busy and disturbing month.
We had the MR Drive which I hope you all participated in and have turned in your paperwork. We also had the Wildfires which ravaged San Diego County. The Supreme Office and the State Office have both been at the ready to help those victims who lost their houses in the fires. We at the Chapter level have been trying to compile a list of Brothers and their families who lost their homes. Our list is not nearly complete and we need to get those names, addresses and membership numbers together so that we can provide both Supreme and State with this information. I am asking all who have any knowledge of these survivors to please email me with this information so that I can pass it on. Time is of the essence. I am asking you to please put this problem on the front burner of your many to do list items. Being a survivor of the Cedar Fires I can assure you that your brothers in distress will be appreciative of all that we can do.
Secondly, as you are aware, the Month of December is a dark month for the Chapter. We have several big projects going on in January and will not have a meeting before they start. The Biggest project will be our State Deputies Testimonial Dinner which will be held on January 12th. Both the State Deputy and some of the State Family will be attending. We want to have a big turnout for this function and show the State that we are truly the finest Chapter in the State. Brother Michael Galasso will speak on this event during the meeting.
We are also closing in on the second half of the Columbian Year. Several of our key projects are coming up soon. The Religious Appreciation Dinner and the Priests Golf Tournament will soon be upon us. Please make sure you push these events and make them a success.
Bella, the movie, was released last month and everything I have heard and read so far has been extremely positive. I want to thank you for supporting this project.
Please support our annual “Keep Christ in Christmas” program. If your council doesn’t participate in selling these Christmas cards and other items, please find a council that is involved and help them out. You can show your support by making your Christmas purchases from one of the participating councils.
Finally the Marion Hour of Devotion Program has gotten underway and I hope you will participate in this program.
I want to thank you for attending and I ask that you pay attention to all of the information you will hear tonight and inform your Councils.
May God Bless you and your families in this Holiest of seasons. Have a wonderful and joyous Christmas.
Vivat Jesus
