Last
Minute Reminder:
2008 Mentally Challenged Drive/Tootsie Roll Drive
Brothers,
The Tootsie Roll Drive is set for October 18th and 19th,
2008.
I
have asked all the councils in Nevada that are
participating in the tootsie roll drive to submit to me
their candy order by Aug. 24th. I need to place the
order for the Tootsie Rolls tomorrow, 28 Aug. 2008. So please submit your orders today
if you need to do so!!
I want to thank the councils and their chairmen that have
submitted their orders to date. They are;
Council 978 Contact Patrick Stoll
Council 2828 Contact John Suchewski
Council 4828 Contact Richard Cordova
Council 8078 Contact Mike Dougherty
Council 8282 Contact Scott Davus
Council 12543 Contact Richard Laquidara
Council 13456 Contact Herman Sisneros
Council 13754 Contact Don Sand
Council 13842 Contact Tim Ortez
Last year we raised over 60,637.56. With your strong
support and leadership, we can meet and surpass that
total this year.
Your chairman should be assembling his teams and
estimating how many boxes of Tootsie Rolls you'll need
for this year's drive. Start scouting out your locations,
and don't forget to ask for your Pastor's help. The forms
you need (order forms, reporting forms and contact
information) are on the State website
Click on the "For Officers" link (above.)
Please look at these soon and be sure to get your orders
in buy the deadline.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have questions.
I'll do everything I can to help you make this drive a
continuing success!

the 126th Supreme Convention
Supreme
Knight Calls on Knights to Live Faith in All Aspects of
Their Lives
Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson’s annual report,
delivered Tuesday at the 126th Supreme Convention,
highlights achievements and calls on Knights to live out
their faith in every aspect of their lives.
Resolutions
Passed on Life, Marriage Issues
Delegates to the 126th Supreme Convention Aug. 7 adopted
resolutions calling for “legal and constitutional
protection … for the definition of marriage as the
union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all
others” and opposing “any governmental action
or policy that promotes abortion, embryonic stem cell
research, human cloning, euthanasia, assisted suicide and
other offenses against life.”
Knights
Must Live the Spirit of the Transfiguration, says
Montreal Cardinal
In a stirring homily on the second day of the 126th
Supreme Convention, Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte of
Montreal weaved together a number of applications of the
convention theme, “Building a Civilization of Love
Through Charity, Unity and Fraternity.”
Knights
Establish 'Fathers for Good' Web Site
The Knights of Columbus launched a new initiative at the

site, www.fathersforgood.org.

Most
Rev. Dino thanks State Council for Seminarian offering
Bishop of the Byzantine Catholic
Eparchy of Van Nuys
Brother
Knights and Ladies,
I received a letter of sincere thanks from Most Rev.
Gerald N. Dino, Bishop of the Eparchy of Van Nuys, for
the gift of $2,746.89 which was given to him from the
Nevada State Council/Seminarian Raffle Fund. The
monies will go to offset the cost of the expenses for
Seminarian, Diodoro Mendoza from Our Lady of Wisdom
Church in Las Vegas. His studies are at the SS.
Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary in
Pittsburgh, PA. Bishop Dino has asked for us to
keep Diodoro in our prayers.
I want to thank all my Brother Knights and their
families, for their donations, time, and selfless efforts
given; that make our Seminarian Raffle Fund possible and
successful.
Please See Bishop Dino's thank you letter below.
Vivat Jesus!

At Fatima Our Lady made the following
personal promises to those who, on five
consecutive First Saturdays, will confess their sins,
receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary and spend

"I will assist (be present) at the hour of your

Rosary services
Fallon, & Reno
Council
4828 in Fallon
sponsors Living Rosary Prayer Services on the 1st
Saturdays of each month at 9:00 a.m. and on the 3rd
Wednesdays of each month, typically at 7:00 p.m., just
before their regular business meeting. Everyone is
invited.
If
you live closer to Reno, or are going to be in
the Reno area, then please plan to attend the Living
Rosary services that are typically held over there at the
same time (across from the abortion center near
Meadowood Mall.) It doesn't matter where
you attend these services, the most important thing is
that we get as many people as possible to join in prayer
for an end to abortion and for the protection of life at
all stages, so please help spread the word about both the
Reno and Fallon services to all of our fellow Br.
Knights and to our fellow parishioners.

Our
Commitment to You
by Supreme Knight Carl A.
Anderson
- 9/7/2007
 We do not invest in high-risk vehicles such
as derivatives and junk bonds, nor do we invest in the
types of structured transactions that are currently
causing such turmoil in the markets. We stay away from
them not because we don't understand them - but because
we do understand them - and the risk they entail.
