Jim Sparks

We, at Council 10208, are pleased to announce Brother Jim Sparks has been chosen Knight of the Month for November.  A very popular Hot Springs Village Institution, Home Plate Restaurant, owned by the Sparks’, and our Council arranged a cruise for over 80 participants in October.  Rebates from the cruise line put nearly $3,000 into our coffers last month.  This money, combined with the other efforts of Council 10208, have helped many local charities that cater to the disabled, dispossessed, and needy.  

Thanks you ever so much, Jim.  We appreciate your initiative, efforts, and generosity.  Let us all congratulate Jim and his family for their support of Council 10208 and in recognition of this well deserved award.
