2012 May Meeting 11

Tom and Cathy Ament have been selected as April Family of the Month primarily for their recent efforts in helping the Larry Garner family. Along with help from Marvin Young, they have been raising funds and resources from Pennies from Heaven and other sources, both within the parish and beyond, in an effort to provide all basic utilities to this Jessieville family in need.

Tom has served this Council as Grand Knight for two consecutive years and has been the coordinator for Pennies From Heaven for several years. Cathy has been President of the Ladies Guild and was instrumental in raising over $2,200 for the Garner family from the Ladies Guild.

Thank you, Tom and Cathy, for all you do for this Council, this Parish and this community.

Bob and Ann Bowman have been selected as Family of the Month for March in recognition of their overall volunteer efforts in serving the church and community.  Bob, along with Russ Harrison, was instrumental in selling tickets for the Mardi Gras Party that resulted in another successful event for this Council.  Bob also has been volunteering with the disaster team in cleaning up trees damaged by last April’s storm event.  Bob also volunteers twice a week with Habitat for Humanity.

Ann has offered her talents in coordinating the visitation program as a part of the Helping Hands ministry of this Parish.  Both Bob and Ann have assisted in the Blind Camp Bowlers event.

Thanks, Bob and Ann, for your leadership and volunteer efforts.

Deacon Bernie Bauer and his wife, Marilyn, have been named by the Officers as February’s Family of the Month and is given primarily to recognize the many years of service they both have given to this parish and this Council. They have been recognized as Family of the Month at least five times by this Council during the past fifteen years, one of which was as Supreme Family of the Month.

Marilyn has been a long time member of the St Jude Guild.

Bernie celebrated his 89^th birthday in February, and it is our hope that he and Marilyn will celebrate several more.
