Annual Paul Bagley/Cardy Vance Sisters Appreciation Dinner
Posted by John Guerra Jr in Events on January 23, 2012
Dear Brother Knight:
One of the great annual traditions at Council 799 is the Paul Bagley/Cardy Vance Sisters’ Appreciation Dinner. This year’s event will be held in the upper hall on Sunday, February 19, 2012, beginning at 12:30 p.m.
The Sisters’ Appreciation Dinner is our way of saying “Thank You” to all of the Sisters in the Dallas Diocese for their wonderful efforts in teaching our children, nursing our sick, praying for us, caring for our elderly, ministering to the poor, and all the other good works they perform. It is an afternoon of fellowship and fun with their friends and associates from all the Religious Communities in the Dallas area.
The Sisters eagerly look forward to this annual event where they are given an opportunity to renew old acquaintances, create new ones, and visit with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. A fine dinner, prepared by Brother Knights, is served and small gifts are presented to each Sister. To add to the excitement, numerous door prizes are awarded. These items are not luxury items, nor are they extravagant. We will have gift cards from local stores so the Sisters can purchase personal items they need, gift certificates from various Dallas restaurants, personal stationary and cards, etc.
Will you please help us with this most worthwhile endeavor by making a cash donation or by donating a door prize, gift card, or similar item(s)? Please make your checks payable to KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS and send them to my attention at 10110 Shoreview, Dallas, Texas, 75238.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact me the Council offices (214.348.3931 or 214.348.7940).
Thank you in advance for your support of this extremely worthwhile event.
Fraternally,
John J. Little
Grand Knight, Council 799

Posted by John Guerra Jr in Volunteer on December 27, 2011
The Southwest Liturgical Conference will celebrate its 50th Anniversary of the Study Week, January 24th-27th, 2012, at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Dallas, hosted by the Diocese of Dallas Liturgy Office.
Dallas was the first diocese to host the event in 1963, Liturgy: History and Reform and hosted again in 1984, and in 2005. In 2012, the Diocese of Dallas will once again have the honor and pleasure of hosting the monumental event.
Knights are needed as drivers to/from the airport and the hotel. Please volunteer no later than January 14, 2012 (to allow time to coordinate driver assignments). You can volunteer by emailing Marce Tebbe (mtebbe6020@att.net) or calling 972-742-5886(m). Attached is a letter with more information and a volunteer form.

2012 Pool Capital Improvement Project Proposal
Posted by John Guerra Jr in Uncategorized on December 13, 2011
The first decade of the KayCee pool was a complete success. We have made many improvements to the pool and the surrounding area that have been met with enthusiasm and our membership is strong.
As we look ahead we know that there are many challenges to our goal of staying one of the premier Staycation facilities in Dallas. The pool committee with the backing of the board of directors has identified what we feel are areas that will maintain our status as a premier facility and help us maximize the experience for our members for years to come. The following projects are proposed and will be voted on at our general meeting on January 3rd. We look forward to your attendance and support.
Please read the attached document for more information regarding these projects and the proposed funding plans: Document

Demo/Grill Event for the Sisters of the Holy Family of the Nazereth
On Saturday November 19 we will be participating in an event to help out the Sisters of hte Holy Family of the Nazereth convent in Grand Prarie. The event will consist of one group at the convent clearing trees and hauling them back into the property.

The outdoor work at the convent will start around 8:30 and run till noon. Please be sure to wear gloves, work boots, and bring any power tools that cut if you have them. If its anything like last year, this is extremely rewarding. Directions to the facility can be found here: http://binged.it/vXEjl1
