The end of the calendar year is a busy time!
The November 21st meeting will be a busy one considering all
the topics we have to cover. The Committee Meeting will be less formal
then the Business Meeting so we should get everything covered. The
agenda will cover:
1. The Parish Bazaar (we will have on November 17th)
2. The Seminarian selection for our $500,00 donation
3. Organization for the Membership Drive, we're having on December 2nd
4. Our annual Tootsie Roll drive for the benefit of Special Ed. Kids
5. The Council Christmas Party, to be held on December 19th.
6. Our annual poster contest for the CCD kids "Keeping Christ in Christmas"

Medic Alert Identification!
When 'first responders' come
they are trained to look for any medical information that is relative to the
person they are treating. In many cases that information can be a
mater of life or death to the patient. Allergic reactions to drugs,
special information for treatments and someone to contact in case of
emergencies is typical information on these bracelets or necklaces.
Who needs these lifesaving devices? Maybe you if you
have a serious allergy to a medicine like penicillin or a food like peanuts,
or milk; but especially if you can't communicate to the first
responder. Saint Joan of Arc members recognize the importance of these
identifiers and we have donated $250.00 to the Caroline Center in Ridgely
for the purchase of "Medic Alert" bracelets and necklaces' for their
clients.

November 17th is the
Church Bazaar
As we did last year we
have fruit and vegetables at the Parish Bazaar.
Not inside but our crew will set up the tent and we will be outside next to the church by the drive way.
From here we will see customers coming and going and we can be seen from the
road by passers-by.
Walt, Mickey, John and
Rich at our Produce Stand 11/17/07
Our knights where
there all day, at the the booth. We also served
our community by assisting the customers with their purchase bags if
necessary. This is always a fun time and we make a lot of
friends.

$ Council Money
$
Saint Joan's Knights will
be raising money for a local Special Ed. program
The Tootsie Roll Giveaway is our
program to collect donations for our Special Education Award given each year
to a local school's program for their handicapped children. Lead by
our best team, Mickey and Mary Usilton we are attempting to top the
amount we raised last year for our 'Special Kids'.
When you are contacted, please give a few
hours of your time to stand the "Tootsie Roll Watch" and help us
reach our goal. This is the one fundraiser where the money goes to
our community to help really deserving children.
Last year
our check for $840.00 went to Lockerman Middle School for their Special Ed.
Program. In past years our donation money has gone to the Benedictine
School and Denton and Ridgely Elementary.

Parish Super Sunday's
Saint Joan's continues
to 'Feed the Masses' (after Mass) on Super Sundays!
Each month our knights
have turned out
in force to work in the kitchen, on the line and cleaning up. We are
having a really good membership response this year (don't slack off now)
which gives each of us time to enjoy our own breakfast and visit with our
family and friends. This is also an excellent time to talk to a 'Qualified
Catholic Man' about joining us in our service to our church, our parish
and community.
It makes all of us feel
good when our men turn out to serve the parish families on Super Sunday
Breakfast, and I can tell our community is impressed because of the comments
they make and when how our knights are looked up to.
Keep up the GOOD WORK!
