USAFA FOOTBALL PARKING FUNDRAISER
Each fall, we have a great opportunity to work in the parking lot for Falcon's football games. We need up to 16 people for each home game. This is a great fund-raiser for many reasons -- it's close to home, there's no inventorying, setup or cleanup. All we have to do is show up at the designated time to get a yellow identifying jacket and assignments. Then we direct traffic to parking spots until game time. Once the game starts we may tailgate and share lunch, or watch the game until about the end of third quarter. At that time we will help to direct traffic safely out of the stadium. Dates and times are listed in the Council Newsletter.

We also participate in parking for graduation in the spring.

Plan ahead and watch for opportunities to help with this great activity!



CORPORATE COMMUNION
Corporate Communion is a time for Knights to gather, worship together, and then celebrate fellowship with a meal. On months with 5 Sundays, Corporate Communion is held at one of the weekend Masses (see the newsletter for times). Sir Knights are asked to wear regalia and participate in the honor guard. All other Knights and their families are invited to sit together and show unity by wearing some type of identifying apparel and/or their name badges. Following Mass, we have a nice meal at a local restaurant or sometimes at the Parish. Check your newsletter and put these wonderful gatherings on your calendar.

TOOTSIE ROLL CAMPAIGN
Every October, the Knights conduct a fund-raising campaign on behalf of handicapped children. Some wonderful local merchants allow us to stand near their store entrances, where we give away Tootsie Roll candy and offer patrons an opportunity to donate. We have a good time, give away lots of smiles and candy, and generous folks help us raise significant $$ for kids. We usually pick two or three local charities as recipients for the money raised. Check our newsletter for more details.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST

  • The first Sunday of most months, there is a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Knights, after all the morning masses. The main purpose is to support the Parish in this social activity. New members who register with the Parish receive a free breakfast, and prices are very economical for everyone else.
  • Council 9993 sponsors the months Sept. through May, and the Assembly sponsors the summer months of June, July, and August. All Knights are invited to participate in preparing and serving a delicious breakfast to our parishioners and guests.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
  • The Knights support the parish and community in a variety of ways, such as helping with the parish picnic or other parish activities. Often when there’s chillin’ and grillin’ to do, such as at Oktoberfest, the Knights are there.
  • We are pro-life and pro-family, and support activities such as the Respect Life Crafters, who craft baby blankets for unwed mothers.
  • We support our youth who are and altar servers or are in the Scouting program. Knights have contributed funds and/or labor for several Eagle projects benefiting the Parish, such as the Rachel prayer garden and the Jared Jensen Memorial.
  • The annual Free Throw contest to benefit our youth.
  • The media kiosk at the rear of the church with pamphlets and CDs to grow our faith.
  • Knights are involved in almost all parish ministries.
  • We also have social activities, such as the marriage vow renewal dinner or our Christmas party.
  • The whole idea is to BE INVOLVED, and you will get back more than you give!
