An Important Message from F.W. Council 1447 Grand Knight,
Deacon Derek West
Brothers,
At a recent Columbus Centre takeout event, we had a quick “meeting” to decide what to do about the donations that we normally do this time of year. The following motion was tabled by Brother Joe Salini and seconded by Brother Larry Pankuch:
The following donations be distributed:
Dew Drop Inn – $500
Christmas Cheer – $500
St. Vincent DePaul – $200
Salvation Army – $200
Discussion: These amounts are higher than previous years due to the need generated from the impact of COVID-19. With each $500 donation, we will receive $100 from Supreme.
Please let me know how you vote on this motion (YES or NO) by December 8.
Vivat Jesus.

Hello Brother Knights,
Do you have a Keep Christ in Christmas! Magnet? Knights of Columbus Fort William Council 1447 have available Keep Christ in Christmas Magnets . $5.00 The actual size of the magnet is 6.25″ X 7″.
These Good News! Magnets can be used on your vehicle, fridge, filling cabinet or other metal props. With all of the distractions of the season, it is a simple reminder that cause us to pause and reflect on the birth of Jesus.This is a way to keep the focus of the Christmas Season on the true meaning of the season!
The attractive magnet is white with a black border with the words “Keep Christ in Christmas” emblazoned across the bottom, and are highly visible.

CHRISTMAS CHEER MESSAGE: A NOTE FROM JOE SALINI
Brothers All,
The times have changed and we are changing with them. Hope you are safe and doing well. I, as in previous years am contacting the local grand knights to solicit your help. Christmas Cheer is going to happen this year, but in a different format. So if you can forward this to your membership that would be great.As in the past the Knights will be helping to to pass out turkeys for the hampers. The dates for Christmas Cheer, will be Monday December 14, Tuesday December 15 and Wednesday 16, from 9:00 am until 7:00 pm each day.
We will be allowed to have three volunteers total at any given time I am asking that any of you who wish to volunteer that the hours will be divided up as follows: 9:00 until 12 noon, 12:00 noon until 4 pm and 4 pm until 7 pm each day.
We will be following the health Unit protocols for masks, social distancing etc…
I cannot make anyone volunteer so you must have a comfort zone within your own circle about helping.
Please contact me by email at joetlgsal@gmail.com if you wish to take part in this event. I will follow up with a schedule of volunteers once the slots have been filled.
In advance thank you for your ongoing support and stay safe.
God Bless you all
Vivat Jesus
