Pancake Fundraiser
Bishop Flaget will host its
first Pancake Breakfast on Sunday,
May 22nd at the Church of the
Ascension on Lynbrooke Rd from 9:00
a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
The current plan is to hold
these once every two or three months,
rotating churches that our Council
coverts. The food and drinks will be
served free of charge. Donations will
be accepted.
Please support us by
volunteering to help serve the
breakfast or by brining your family to
breakfast! Haven’t you been wanting
to see what Ascension looks like and
hear Fr. Padgett preach for some time
know?
Call Dale Anderson at 493-
1065 if you would like to volunteer
your time.
Dear Brothers,
I cannot believe that al-
most two years has passed since
my election to the position of
Grand Knight of Bishop Flaget
Council. Reflecting back on
these two years, or even the last
3-1/2 years of our Council’s exis-
tence, and I really have come to
appreciate and respect those
men that accept the responsibil-
ity of leading a Knights of Co-
lumbus Council, especially one
like our own that serves multi-
ple parishes.
The Nominating Com-
mittee, comprised of Trustees
Joe Wise Jr., Matt Sanderfer,
Chuck Durbin and myself, had
the responsibility of developing
a slate of office candidates con-
sidering what kind of knowledge
and skills are required to suc-
cessfully lead and operate our
council. We put together what
we believe is a strong slate of
candidates for the 2005-2006
fraternal year. See the facing
page for the complete slate.
While we recommend
that you vote in their favor, we
know that a committee can
never consider all of the vari-
ables. So, if you or another
Brother you know has interest
in running for any of the elected
positions, please feel free to
nominate yourself or that other
Brother at the June Meeting.
Your nomination will be respect-
fully heard and the words of the
nominees prayerfully considered
prior to voting.
Most importantly, please
be there to vote! Your voice is
vitally important to the council
and it should be heard. I look
forward to seeing you at on June
7th.
God bless,
Tom Blocher, GK
Grand Knight’s Letter
PAGE 2 Bishop Flaget Flyer VOL 4, I SSUE 6
Special Olympics of Kentucky
The message below is from Kelly Hutchinson who is with Spe-
cial Olympics of Kentucky. As you are aware of my effort to form
a team of Knights from the 9 Louisville Councils, the message is
a result of a phone call to Kelly last Friday.
She asked if the Knights would be involved with the Spring
Games by providing 20-25 volunteers from 8:30 - 3:30 Saturday
May 14th. She would like the Knights to be the team that would
oversee one of the competitions such as the Softball Throw.
They will train our volunteers that morning (rules and the way
they the game is to be run). This is not a hard or labor-some
task, Kelly promised we would have a GREAT time and the
experience would be very gratifying!
At the Metro Roundtable meeting Saturday we discussed
Knights from all councils joining in on this effort and we
agreed that all Councils being involved was good for the Knights
as well as SOKY, and felt we should easily be able to get the 20-
25 volunteers. If we have more, that is not a problem, we could
also be escorts for the athletes going from event to event. As you
see there are a lot of opportunities. She also mentioned if there
were a few guys that could only volunteer 3-4 hrs, they may be
able to serve lunches to the athletes.
I know the time is short, let me know how many volunteers you
can add to the effort. Contact me at my home 493-1065 or cell
802-6551 ASAP!
