In recognition of Dan's coordination of the Potomac Council with the Parish Council and the Columbiettes to clean and beautify the St. Mary Grotto and Labyrinth at St. Francis of Assisi Parish. Over a period of four hours on a Saturday morning, the work party cleaned and cleared the stairs, walkways, benches, and labyrinth; trimmed trees and bushes, power washed the labyrinth, and cleared the picnic table area of debris and weeds. This effort exemplifies Dan's selflessness in serving and leading others to serve our Parish.

John Enzmann
In recognition of John Enzmann, who identified a long-time member of the Parish and widow of a Brother Knight in need of assistance to maintain her home and property. John coordinated a work party to make repairs, maintain the property, and address safety concerns. He organized and led the work party, and further ensured that follow-on work was scheduled to maintain the improvements made in September. John's actions represent the Knights of Columbus drive to Leave No Neighbor Behind.

Salguero Family
Although, Francia Salguero manages Francis House and coordinates with our Council for the Christmas Food Baskets, the entire Salguero family is involved in not only making the Christmas baskets but also the Un-trim A Tree. The entire family pitches in to sort, label, and organize the gifts for distribution to their respective recipients. This is a long and time consuming process that takes many hours, especially on weekends. The Salguero Family is an inspiration in Catholic involvement and practicing the faith.
