Sir Knights,
I
hope this newsletter finds you well, and
unaffected by Covid. As we enter the fall
season, hopefully, our lives will start
returning to normal. A good start was achieved
this past week by Governor DeSantis opening up
restaurants, bars and banquet facilities.
Statistics by the CDC continue to show a
trending downward of percentages of deaths and
infection rates. While the danger of Covid
remains, especially for those with underlying
health conditions, the progress for a vaccine
on the horizon seems to be good.
The
Christmas Party looks to be on schedule for
December 12th, barring any complications. The
party will be held at the same venue as last
year, Mayacoo Lakes Country Club. This is a
fantastic place for a party. The food,
atmosphere, and especially the Brother Knights
and their wives make the event truly special.
I will have more details on the party soon,
and will email you all with more details as
they become available.
Our only
real fundraiser at this time is the 50/50
raffle at the Christmas Party, which I will
have tickets by October 2nd. A plan to
distribute them will follow, probably by mail.
I ask that you please try to sell as many as
possible, because I fear that there will be a
shortfall for our incoming Faithful Navigator
come July.
Lastly,
our Past Faithful Navigator Dinner, which is
usually held in July or August, was a victim
of this Covid. I would like to combine this
event with our Christmas Party. So please…
attend the Christmas Party and Past Faithful
Navigator dinner, not only for the holiday and
good cheer, but to show our appreciation to
all Past Faithful Navigators.
May God bless all of you and your loved ones.
Fraternally,
Michael Eddie
