Grand Knight Report
Hello Brother Knights,
This is the report from the 111th Annual State Convention. I attended the convention with our District Deputy Charles Bakle Jr. We listened to our State Deputy Mr. Paul J. Upman discuss with everyone how everything has gone this year for our State of Ohio. We received a lot of information to bring back to council. There were two awards received at the convention for our council 1039. The first was the Religious of the Year Award for the Toledo Diocese. It went to Deacon Jeff Mayer of St. Mary’s church. We all congratulate Deacon Jeff Mayer on his winning of the award. Our council itself received the Pope John XXIII award for programs and improvement in Measure Up and charity ticket sales. The award is on display at the hall. Also from the convention, we came in fifth in the state in ticket sales with 2,072 tickets sold. Ottawa was first. We had a 10th place winner in the charity tickets. Mr. Rob Giesige won 10th place. Congrats Rob! There has been discussion by the Fish Fry Committee on what needs to be done for the upcoming season. Details will be coming soon. At our last pancake breaksfast we served 221 meals, received $872.20 in donations and showed a net income of $432.17. Next up on 7/11/10 is Team One.
Your Grand Knight,

Fish Fry
At the June meeting, council voted to accept the recommendations of the committee appointed to study the fish fry. The most significant recommendation involves raising the price of meals. Fish that cost an average of $2.80 last season now costs $3.45 per pound. We are going to watch the costs and react accordingly, but currently we are suggesting $9 for the meals to go; $10 for regular eat in meals; and $11 for all fish dinners. Child meals raise to $4 and pints of side dishes will be $2.50. That’s going to make it more expensive for our customers to eat our meals, but our costs have increased and we simply have to pass on the higher costs.
Pancake Breakfasts
At the breakfast June 6 we served about 221 people, and we started advertising in the newspaper. Team 1 is on duty July 11, the second Sunday of July. We moved forward a week due to the holiday. From 9:00 to 11:30 we will be serving pancakes, baked hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, ham, sausage links, cinnamon rolls, milk, juice and coffee. Please tell your friends and neighbors about it and plan to attend.
Election of Officers
At the June meeting these men were elected to serve Council 1039 for the term beginning 7/1/10. Phone numbers are in the chart on the back page. Feel free to contact any of the officers if you need something or just have something to say. Congratulations to the new Officers!
