We are proud to announce that so far this year 3 members of our Council have performed 149 hours of Volunteer Service in our parish and our community. KNIGHTS HELPING KNIGHTS! Please Support the Rodriguez Family! Prior to Martha's passing, our Council received an anonymous pledge of a $1,000 donation to help the Rodriguez family with 3-years of ongoing medical expenses, with the condition that the Council match the donation. This support is even more critical now that funeral expenses are added to their burden. Since this $1,000 match exceeds the $500 limit in our bylaws for unbudgeted items, we must vote to approve this as a Council. This item was brought up under New Business at our May meeting, and we will be seeking and voting on a motion to approve it at our June 5th Council meeting. Please attend and vote YES to show your support. In addition, we'd like to ask for personal donations to be given to the Rodriguez family to help defray medical and funeral expenses. Please donate whatever you can afford so that we can demonstrate the combined power of Knights supporting Knights in need. We'd like to receive your donation by Friday, May 19th, the day of our Open Meeting/Happy Hour at our Council Hall. You can either: Bring your donation (cash or check) to the open meeting, or Mail your donation (check) to our Financial Secretary, Rob Weissner at PO Box 2404, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA 90274, or Provide funds via digital transfer to the Knights PayPal account by going clicking on the following link (Rodriguez Family donation). Kindly consider adding 3% to any online donations to help the Council cover the processing fee charged by PayPal. Let's all band together to show our support for the Rodriguez family in this very difficult and challenging time. Interested in Joining the Knights of Columbus?
