Rick and his wife Sandy Darnell moved to the Village in December 2015, from Scottsdale, Arizona.  One of the things Sir Knight Rick never had time for during his working career was to join the Knights of Columbus.  He was quite pleased to find such a large and active group at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish. 

Family of the Month Dec 2017
Family of the Month Dec 2017
Sir Knight Rick Darnell began his Knights of Columbus journey on December 6, 2016 followed by 2nd and 3rd Degree exemplification on February 26th, 2017.  He became a Sir Knight on June 3rd, 2017.  Since joining us both Rick and Sandy have been extremely active, supporting many of our activities and taking the lead in planning and arranging the Honey Baked Ham initiative, the Christmas Wreath initiative, and the Domino Pizza initiatives.  Both Rick and Sandy spent several days doing “point of sale” contacts before and after Masses in November and December.  We appreciate their efforts, enthusiasm, meticulous attention to detail, and the numerous volunteer hours dedicated to raising funds for our charities.  Rick has indicated he will soon assume the Program Director responsibilities for the Council, after a turn-over period with Tony Cifelli who has done an outstanding job for several years.  It is a pleasure for the Council to present this Family of the Month certificate to the Darnell’s.
