Knight of the Month - Frank Cox

Our Co-Knight of the Month in September is Frank Cox.  Frank has just completed what I consider to be one of the toughest jobs in either the council or the parish.  He ran our bi-annual Treasure Sale.  As you all know, this is a major undertaking and an important fundraiser for St. John’s School and Our Lady of Fatima School.

The Treasure Sale is a project with many moving parts that require coordination and managerial expertise.  In his first year as manager, Frank handled the job admirably and was instrumental in raising $14,000 for Catholic Education.  Frank also volunteers at Samaritan Ministries and delivers food baskets at Thanksgiving, Easter and during the summer.  Let’s hear it for Knight of the Month Frank Cox!
