The Certificate of Merit is presented by the Council for only the most significant contributions. Over the past couple of months, we have observed a truly impactful accomplishment by one of our Brothers.
In late December, Bill Nosek heard that the Health Mart pharmacy would be coordinating the distribution of the COVID vaccine in the Village.
Bill contacted the owner and discussed their plan and suggested assistance from the Knights may be beneficial.
After consultation with the Grand Knight and Faithful Navigator, Bill was full speed ahead with integrating the support of the Knights of Columbus into the Health Mart Plan.
Bill’s vision was realized with Knights volunteering at several clinics (6-8) held at two churches in the Village.
He involved the District Deputy in one of those clinics, which led to the Knights in the Hot Springs council assisting with a clinic in Hot Springs.
Bill then wondered why we shouldn’t do a clinic here at Sacred Heart. With the support of Fr. Bill, the Sacred Heart clinic became a reality last Thursday, where 527 people received their first dose of the vaccine!
Thanks to Bill’s vision, initiative and COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS the Knights have now assisted in the distribution of over 13,000 doses of the COVID vaccine to residents of the Village and surrounding area.
On behalf of the Brothers of Council 10208, the Certificate of Merit was presented to Bill Nosek.
Without Bill's foresight, the Knights would have not been involved in assisting with the distribution of the Vaccine nor would have Sacred Heart been a Vaccine Distribution clinic. God Bless you Bill for all you do for the Council and Sacred Heart Church.
