This month the Council recognized Brother Knight Ted Giraud at the Knight of the Month.  Ted joined our Council last year and is already a 3rd Degree Knight.  He assists with all our parish breakfasts, the spaghetti dinners, preparing and serving our Council dinners, and many other tasks.  Some of you may be aware that Ted works two jobs, one at Zoe’s in the culinary district and another at the Hot Springs Hotel.  Considering his work situation, Ted’s volunteerhours speak volumes for his commitment to the Knights of Columbus!  Keep up the good work Ted.  You’re an asset to this Council!!
