International Student at Bishop Lynch Needs a Host Family
Posted by Christopher Widhelm in Volunteer on August 11, 2010
An international student named Jongwan Park needs a host home for this school year. Jongwan will be attending Bishop Lynch. His sister Jihye graduated from B.L. last year. Jongwan comes from a solid Christian family in South Korea, and speaks very good english.
Responsibilities include getting Jongwan to and from school or the bus stop. B.L. has bus stops around the Dallas area. Jongwan will pay his own cell bill and any school expenses. The host family will be responsible for food and transportation expenses to and from the bus stop etc. Jongwan has his own health insurance.
We hosted Jihye last year and we would have adopted her if we could! It was a great experience and we will miss Jihye when she attends the University of Illinois this fall. Unfortunately, due to work schedule changes, we are unable to host Jongwan.
If you have any questions feel free to call.

PRE-REGISTRATION LINK: https://iwebb.carterbloodcare.org/pls/iwebb/aspn?pzp=76203&psp=SPON049570
The pre-registration will ask you for your personal information and you will choose a time, type of blood donation. You can ask for a reminder, make a comment, etc. Then be sure and “SAVE” your appointment.
Walk-ins are welcome, but we are requesting every interested Knight to pre-register on the Carter Bloodcare website to reserve space. Current registrations are low and we have a lot of open time spots to fill. If you can, please register soon!

Help Our Sisters Distribute Turkeys November 23
Posted by Thomas Kelton in Volunteer on November 12, 2009
We’re joining with KC 6065 (St. Mark’s) to distribute turkeys and groceries at St. James Parish to some very deserving families. The Missionaries of Charity do the selection, and the KCs do the heavy lifting. It all starts at about 9:30am on 11/23 at 2104 Harlandale, 75216 (south Dallas by the Zoo). Mass will start at 9:00 in the church, and then the work begins.
KC799 has been doing this event for several years now. Everyone who went last year had a great time, and it is one of the few opportunities we have to directly interface with, and help, the needy. Please contact Brian Bessner at bbatkofc@aol.com (or just show up).
Men Needed to Promote Football Frenzy
The nationwide Knights of Columbus organization is preparing for another year’s Football Frenzy. Every ticket sold for KC 799 goes toward our fees due to the nationwide organization. KC 799 needs two members to help promote the Football Frenzy in our council. Please contact Thomas Kelton at 214-855-7115 to volunteer. New members are especially encouraged to join the effort!
