Upcoming Charity Street Collection Wilmer Fajardo Visits Council
Charity---the first principle of our order, was it
the reason you joined the Knights? Is it the reason
you are a member today? Are you a worker in any
of our council’s charity programs? Yes or no, here
is what you should do, work a shift during our after
Thanksgiving charity street collection on November
26-27th.
This is our most important annual project. It helps
so many people that need help. It is what I call new
money. Money from other people—not money from
parishioners or the Knights. Also, it is the most productive
per hour time spent on any of our projects.
Last year the average income per worker per shift
was a little over $250.00. That means that each of
my brother Knights that work a shift this year should
collect approximately $250.00 toward the $10,000
that we want to reach this year. So you see, we need
40 or 50 to work the street the Friday and Saturday
after Thanksgiving. This is an all council project—not
just a few of you.
Brother Knights, do not ignore my asking each
of you to work a shift. You will be proud of yourself
and the council for this charitable work. Going out
of town or unable to physically work the street, fine,
you have a choice either write a check for $250.00
or recruit a brother Knight to work in your place.
Please inform me of anyone you recruit so I can
assign them a time slot on Friday or Saturday.
Included in this newsletter are the participation
forms required by the Denton police department.
After you complete them, you can email them to me
at: bobbeltz@verizon.net
This is your chance to be an active, productive
member of this council. Please don’t let it pass, don’t
turn your back on this most important and needed
project. I know my brother Knights will answer this
call for help, as you always have.
Sincerely,
Bob Beltz

Maybe it’s time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..
28th Amendment will be as follows:
“Congress shall make no law that applies
to the citizens of the United States that
does not apply equally to the Senators or
Representatives, and Congress shall make
no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives
that does not apply equally to the
citizens of the United States .”
Let’s take back America...
