| Mike Gonda March 2023 Knight of the Month |
Knight of the month for March 2023 is Mike Gonda.
Mike is currently our Council Director and will begin his 3rd year in July 2023. He is in his first few months as 'Substitute Bar Manager' – mostly because Mike is the kind of Knight that sees an opportunity or problem and jumps in to take care of it. Right now we are looking for a Knight that would be willing to take over the Bar Manager position.
Many don't know all of the things that a Council Director does. The Council Director works under the direction of the Program Manager and is the guy that is responsible for making many of our events and programs work. At the beginning of the Council year the Program Manager gives the Council Director a 'suggested' calendar that the Officers have agreed on. The calendar also lists a 'possible or suggested' manager or chairman for the event. It's the Council Directors responsibility to put his own team together and to make sure the manager or chairman of the event is available and willing the task.
Some of those duties and responsibilities are:
Responsible for the outcome of the event.
Getting the PR Director the advertising needed.
Posters and printing.
Email blasts needing crew and volunteers for all positions.
Make sure the lower hall has tables set up for the event.
Set up crew.
Kitchen Staff.
Ticket Sales.
Every position all the way down to the dishwashers.
This is the guy that is one of the first ones in and turns out the lights and locks the doors when we are all done.
