Annual Paul Bagley/Cardy Vance Sisters Appreciation Dinner

John Guerra Jr — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:56:22 +0000

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

2012 Pool Capital Improvement Project Proposal

John Guerra Jr — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:39:39 +0000

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
