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
