Upcoming Wive's Appreciation Night
Hello, Brothers!
I hope you all made it through the hurricane without incident. Please join me in praying for all those affected by Hurricane Matthew. The last week was eventful and we have a few activities in the coming weeks. We had good attendance at the meeting last Thursday but the attendance drawing is still unclaimed and up to $120. Chair set up was not as well attended as the meeting and we are dangerously close to losing our building privileges. Chair set up is a quick and easy way to serve our church if we get more than a couple people to help. Thank you to Dan Cantrell, Bob Hooper, and the 1st Degree Team for their work on Monday night. We had a 1st and 2nd Degree and welcomed several new Brothers to our Council.
Our second Wives’ Appreciation Night of the year is Friday, October 28th from 6:00-8:00PM at Apex Fine Wine. Thank you to Brother Eric Stokes for hosting us! This will be a great opportunity to hang out with other couples, show appreciation to our lovely wives, drink some fine wine, and eat some light appetizers. The tasting is covered by the Council but tipping the staff is greatly appreciated. Please RSVP here.
Our Adopt-A-Highway from a couple weekends ago had to be rescheduled. Our Fall Adopt-A-Highway make-up event is Saturday October 29th! Plan to meet at Olive Chapel Elementary School (1751 Olive Chapel Rd, Apex, NC 27502) at 8:30 AM. Children must be 12 years old to participate. Please consider participating in this truly local opportunity, literally just down the street! As usual, drinks and snacks will be provided. Bags, gloves, vests, and sticks to pick up trash will also be available. If you have not yet volunteered for Adopt-A-Highway, please watch the Adopt a Highway Safety Video Clip Please Sign uphere. Thank you and see you there!

Business Meeting and 1st Degree
Hello, Brothers!
Our monthly meeting will be held this Thursday, October 6th in the Adult Room at STMM. The business meeting will start at 7:30pm but we will review finances at 7:00pm for those interested. Our goal is to be finished by 8:30 to allow time for socializing after the meeting. If you need additional incentive to attend, the attendance drawing is up to $110 :) Last month’s meeting minutes can be found here.
With the monthly meeting comes monthly chair set up in the STMM Gym this Friday, October 7th at 5:30pm. Please sign up to help here.
Please come welcome and support our Brothers getting their 1st and 2nd Degree. We are set up for both on Monday, October 10th starting at 7:00pm. Candidates should arrive by 6:30pm. The program will be in the 2nd adult room and the candidates will gather in the music room.
The October edition of the Tar Heel Knight, The Official Publication of the North Carolina Knights of Columbus, can be found here.
If you haven’t heard, Pope Francis appointed Bishop Burbidge to the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia. Read about it here.
I hope to see you all over the next few days. Have a great week!
