On Tuesday, May 24^th, 2011, Rosemary Miller, the widow of our Brother Knight Donnie Miller, and Grand Knight Bill Welch, met with Elizabeth Shackelford, the Principal of St. John’s Catholic School in Hot Springs.

St. John’s School, as we all know is experiencing financial problems and needs help in order to continue as the only Catholic School in this area. The Churches and the Knights of Columbus in the area are currently running a campaign to solicit money to aid in the elimination of the large deficit they have experienced this fiscal period.

At the meeting Rosemary Miller presented the School with a check for $450.00 from the Donnie Miller Memorial Fund. A like amount from the Memorial fund was donated by our 4^th Degree Assembly to the State Seminarian Program.  A check in the amount of $2000.00 from the Council was also presented to the school.

These donations were greatly appreciated by the school, but they only represent approximately one percent of the total amount required to cover their current deficit.  I know our Parish and our fellow Knights especially, will do all that is possible to make the current drive to aid the school a success.
