A word from our president:
Hello Everyone!
Bill Lyons did a terrific job and surely embodies the spirit of community activism and volunteerism. It sounded to me like his Catholic faith has played a very important role in his life and I was very impressed by his achievements. I am happy that I learned more about Bill, his family and his work in our area. Please join us next month to hear our beloved Bishop, Stephen Blaire. Mass will be at 7:00 a.m. and then we’ll share breakfast; the Bishop’s presentation is always interesting and inspiring.
The Doubletree will look into varying our breakfast menu a bit. We want you all to look forward to coming every second Tuesday of each month except July and August so if a change in menu will make it even more pleasant for you, we need to make it happen. I have heard some complaints about the “same old thing to eat” each month so we are trying to get it changed up a bit. Our contract, though, is for this routine breakfast so we’ll see what we can do. This morning I took the left over muffins to Graceada Park. The guys there were very appreciative. Thank you, dear Father Lindsay, and my fellow board members for all you do to make these monthly gatherings work so well. Some of our board members have served far longer than they initially signed up for. However, we have three new folks who have volunteered to serve on our board and so that voting will happen in April. May God continue to bless us all!
