Our Worthy District Deputy and I are still trying to put together a team of Knights, or Knights and Knight's family members for the 2019 Plane Pull at DIA to benefit the Special Olympics.  I have never done it, but we do have at least one brother that has, who said it is a great event.  Most certainly for a very worthy cause. Please click on the link below for more information, and if you are considering it, please contact me directly.

Food For Families

Just a quick note about our Food for Families initiative for this upcoming fraternal year.  I would like to challenge all of you to donate 10 pounds of food each month to the parish Food Pantry. If we do this as a council, we would be able to donate over 20,000 pounds for the fraternal year.  If you and your family already donate more than 10 pounds a month, thank you and please continue with your generosity. 

Last fraternal year as a council we donated just under 11,000 pounds, which included monthly donations, Thanksgiving and Easter Food Boxes, 40 Cans for Lent, and monetary donations to the Food Pantry and other area Food Banks. Thanks to all of you and your families that donated.

Summers at the Food Pantry can be a bit lean on the donations, so if we can give a little push to help out our brothers and sisters that rely on the Pantry, I am certain it would be greatly appreciated. 

Please let me know about your donations, so I can keep track of our council's efforts.  You can email, text, or when you see me just tell me what you and your family have donated.  If you have a fairly standard amount weekly or monthly that you donate and only want to mention it to me once for the entire year, I am happy to track it the rest of the year for you.  If you are participating in the 10 pounds a month initiative, please let me know and I will track that for you as well. 

Thank you brothers, GK Matt, 720-724-1558, HALGL2@aol.com
