The guest speakers for the August 4 membership meeting were from St . John's and St. Mary's parishes in Hot Springs.  They spoke about their efforts to provide assistance to a village in Haiti, a project originally started by Father Hart of St Mary's before he was transferred in July to another parish.

Project co-chair Brenda Sanders gave the presentation complemented by pictures taken by Jackie Tomassi when she and her husband, Pietro, travelled to the village earlier this year with a variety of supplies for the teachers and students at the school.  Their current emphasis is upon raising money to build a wall around the compound to protect both the children and also the equipment, including computers and solar panels. 

The knights responded to the cause by appoving a motion to donate $500.00 from the $900.00 unspecified charitable giving fund.  An additional $243 was collected from the generous knights by passing the bucket around during the meeting.  A $743.00 check from Council 10208 was subsequently mailed to St. Mary's for the Haiti Mission Project.
