Dickherber

Dean, Tabatha and the Dickherber family are those dedicated shining lights who make sure things get done. They have been in charge of the St. Pius X Parish and Council Lenten fish fries for many years. They have invested much of their time and personal funds to insure the success of this event. Both plan the entire event, purchase needed supplies, insure adequate manpower, and personally prepare most of the food. They
had involved their children in this venture and all have that ready smile, good nature and “can do” attitude.

Dean also serves as a Council trustee, playing an active role in audits along with willingly and capably performing all other assigned relevant tasks. Th e family lives a life of practical Catholicism by actually “walking the talk”. That he is able to be so active is even more amazing by the fact that as a young man, he keeps a full time job which requires a lot of travel as well as raising a truly Catholic family. The family is the true profile of what a knight and knight’s family should be. As a family, they work, play, pray and live together in their mutual love for God. They are stellar examples of what we all should be. They truly deserve to be recognized for all they have done.

Peter & Rosita Karculias

There is not much that goes on in the council without Peter's involvement which sometimes I am sure makes his dance card pretty full and his wife Rosita sacrifices her time with Peter to let him not only perform his duties but to let him doing it in the usual Peter style which is impeccable. I could list the things Peter does but I am sure my list would fall shorter than what he actually does.

January 2014
