Kris has shown tremendous dedication and commitment to our council through his volunteer work at the Norfolk Tides games. Out of the 9 games we've worked so far this season, Kris has stepped up to volunteer at 7 of them — including two double-header events, which require an even greater level of energy, time, and perseverance.

His willingness to take on extra responsibility and help wherever needed is a shining example of what it means to be a Knight of Columbus.

His example inspires all of us to continue living out the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity.
