2020 - 2021

Bob Lemanski

Bob serves as Breakfast Chairman and was Deputy Grand Knight in 2020. One of the most demanding positions is breakfast chair as he organizes everything for the monthly breakfasts: ads, coordination with charities, supplies, and volunteers. Plus he served as DGK and took over as Grand Knight in July 2021. So he truly is an officer and a gentleman!

2018 - 2019

Rich Schulte

At the June 2019 membership meeting, GK Bob Langenhorst announced the Knight of the Year Award for Rich Shulte (for 2019). Rich is a Past Grand Knight (PGK) and has been heavily involved in Council 1382 for many years. He has chaired the Pull Tab effort (including quarterly taxes) for 27 years, works on a monthly BINGO crew, and works at monthly breakfasts (and coordinated workers to help for many many years). Congratulations to Rich!

2017 - 2018

Ron Kordick

GK Bob Langenhorst awarded Ron Kordick a Knight of the Year award for various contributions since joining Council 1382 and becoming Financial Secretary, including gathering newsletter inputs and assembling and mailing them out, and co-chairing the Tootsie Roll drive. Ron felt that there are many knights who should receive the award before him, including Paul Kauling and Chad Holthaus who have held and continue to hold very important positions in the council to keep it going.

2016 - 2017

Jim Etter

At the May 2018 membership meeting, GK Bob Diekemper presented a Knight of the Year award to Jim Etter to recognize his contributions over the last several years.

2015 - 2016
