Murray Claassen - August 2017 Knight of the Month

Murray Claassen became the Council Treasurer in July, 2017.  Murray, as you all may remember, received the Shining Armor Award last year—one of only four ever received by this Council—for his first year’s efforts as a Knight.  Murray is now managing the CPID spreadsheets for Knight’s donations and Tootsie Roll volunteers.  He recently attended the State Training seminar in Arkadelphia and attended the State Convention this year as a Council representative.  He came to the organization, melded to the culture, and assumed a leadership position.  His hard work, attention to detail, and often daily dedication of time and energy is both challenging and commendable.

Congratulations, Murray for your well deserved recognition for the impact your actions have had in the Council.

Knight of the Month Ralph Melenson

Knight of the Month Bob Bowman

Sir Knight Bob Bowman was integral to the success of the Seminarian Support Dinner on the 14th of July, 2017. He was responsible for ticket sales, table assignments, meal ordering and selection, collecting and accounting of funds, arranging for sales representatives, and volunteering before and after Masses for two weekends. Brother Bowman’s attention to detail, recording, and disseminating information to all concerned contributed to the highly successful KofC endeavor and is a reflection of his commitment to the Council and it’s worth charity causes.
