This tournament is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Councils in Hot Springs Village and Hot Springs. Even though it was a very hot day, there was an extremely large turnout of 128 generous players from all around the Central Arkansas area. Players thoroughly enjoyed the competition as well as the games on the course. The 1st Flight was won by the team of Bill Patterson, George Byrnes, Russ Harrison, Jim Yarberry. The 2nd Flight was won by Mike Webster, Steve Webster, Nathan Webster, Nick Webster. Winners of the 3rd. Flight were Jonathon Teel, Morgan McGough, Bill Sayles, Tony Scotty. Closest to the pins were won by Bill Gentry, Ben Loftus, Tom Conrad, and Jay Parsons with Mike Kerwin winning the closest to the line drive. Upon completion of play the golfers enjoyed a delicious catered barbeque lunch provided by Melinda's of Hot Springs Village.
The Knights of Columbus would like to thank all the golfers, volunteers and especially the generous sponsors listed below for the enormous success of the 14th Annual St John's Charity Golf Tournament. The biggest winner of the event was the St John's School student financial aid program.

| August 2022 Knight of the Month Chris Mullaney |
Pictured above is Rick Phillips presenting the Knight of the Month Award to Chris with his Wife Donna
Chris has only been with us since April and since then he has been very active in helping with the Kitchen Crew and volunteering for various activities.
He and his wife Donna moved here 7 months ago from Albuquerque. Every morning when they wake and open the blinds and see the beautiful green and trees they pray "thank you, God, can't believe it!" or something to that effect.
They love the Village, the people, locals and transplants, their neighbors, their hood, Arkansas, and Church (the people, the Pastor, the building, and the big Crucifix).
They have been enjoying getting in better shape physically at the excellent Coronado Fitness Center and the hiking trails and exploring this beautiful "Natural State".
And quoting Chris "I have just been doing KP with the Knights and really like it. You could make a TV show or podcast with what I see and experience in the kitchen. Big dogs, like Rich and Rick(s) and Murray and Tom get in there and get dirty and get cooking. I have met Knights who have run big regional distribution centers, executives, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Knights with decades of experience, leaders of their companies and communities, small business owners, native Arkansans, Dads, Grandads, Priest, bikers, jocks, techies, on and on. And I meet these Knights in the kitchen dough-dish and the dirty dish pan- sweating, working hard, slinging, flipping, chopping, having fun, laughing, ribbing, getting stuff done for a good cause, joking, making great tasting meals with presentation. And in the midst of the splattering food prep and cooking and cleaning, a discussion about Saint Paul, or Jesus and his friends, or favorite Saints, or what it means to be a Christian and Catholic erupts and people join in. And I see our Church people diners enjoying a good meal, SMILING, and having fellowship and care and church family at the tables. Is that Biblical or what?! Pretty cool. And pretty cool being a part of KofC KP.
For all of his help and jumping right in, he has earned the well-deserved Award for Knight of the Month!!

| Tom Donnelly Knight of the Month for July 2022 |
During the past 40 days, he assisted with the Olympic Village in Searcy on 13 and 14 May. On the following Sunday, he was the presiding officer of a Charity, Unity, and Fraternity Exemplification at St. Mary's Church in Hot Springs; our Council's Team did an outstanding ceremony in an unfamiliar venue. This Knight participated in our Memorial Day activities—flags, Patriotic Rosary, and Mass; and he was a member of an Honor Guard for one of our Sir Knights funerals last month. On flag day he helped set out flags and led a decade of the Patriotic Rosary. He assisted with Junior Golf on Thursdays twice in June.
He recruited two new Knights during the month, bringing our Fraternal Year to the number qualifying the Council for the Supreme Star Award.
He ordered, bought, delivered, arranged for, recruited a crew, and supervised the meal for our June Council Meeting, raising over $900 revenue that compensated for meal-cost losses over the last year—putting Council meals for the year back into the "black."
This Knight continued as the Coordinator for the Parish Perpetual Adoration Program, completing 4 years in this capacity. He also has been our Council's Third Trustee and Program Director throughout the past Fraternal Year.
When a parishioner widow lost her air conditioner during the recent heat wave, he contacted a heat and air outfit, helped her select, buy, and arranged for the installation of the unit, and was there to supervise and assist her.
He took a veteran Sir Knight to North Little Rock for a VA appointment, waited with, and returned him home—a four-hour commitment.
Tom Donnelly is our July Knight of the Month.
