RE: District Deputy Report – March 2018

  1. Tootsie Roll Orders

The following orders have been placed and confirmed by State Chairman, Ray Wojtysiak:

Council 3758 Wayzata 13 boxes

Council 9601 Loretto 2 boxes

Council 12293 Long Lake 1 box

Council 13096 Medina 4 boxes

Council 13506 Golden Valley 2 boxes

Chairman Ray has informed me that our orders will be combined with District 52’s (St Alphonsus). He will be giving me the delivery date and pickup information in April. I’ll then be coordinating deliveries with each council.

  1. Field Agent

A field agent has yet to be assigned to the Wayzata, Medina, Long Lake and Loretto councils. If you know someone who is a leader with self-discipline who wants to do well for others while doing well for themselves, Lloyd Cybart, General Agent, would like that person to contact him at 952-686-7720 or [email protected]. The Field Agent position is full time, comes with training/support and has benefits.

  1. St Patrick Day Dinner at St George Community Center in Long Lake

The Long Lake Council extends a warm welcome to all Knights – and their families and friends – to their Council’s St Patrick Day Dinner on Saturday March 17th 5PM to be held in the St George Community Center. Enjoy a wonderful beef and cabbage dinner provided by caterer Von Hanson’s and enjoy the music of Welcome Drive!

Advanced tickets: Adults $12.50; Children (ages 6-13) $8.00

At the door: Adults $15.00; Children (ages 6-13) $10.00
