We are also starting our Golf Tournament (May 6th) signups this weekend. At whatever mass you attend, stop by the sign-up table in the Shrine Area to help assist with signups and passing out brochures for the tournament. Signups will continue after all Mass Times from this weekend through April 29th weekend. As Kevin Saunders from the Arizona Bible class states “Come out and help Golf for God!”. Thanks again to Rudy Gradillas for coordinating this as our Golf Tournament Director this year!

Council Christmas Party
Our Council Christmas Party is scheduled for Saturday 12/17! We will be holding a “Corporate Mass” for all members at the 5 PM Mass and then adjourning to the hall for the Christmas Party. All Knights and their families are asked to bring a side dish (or desert). The Council will be providing Fried Chicken, Soda and other beverages. Brother Knight Jacob Hayton will be helping to coordinate this event. Please email grandknight@kofc6627.org if you plan to attend and if you will be bringing any little ones. Also, please let us know what dish you will be bringing. Children of course are welcome and we are hoping to have a special guest for them… Christmas music, dinner and fellowship with your brother Knights and their families, please come!
