Ron_and_Fran_Boudreaux.jpg

Ron Boudreaux became a knight in March 1958, and he joined Council 10208 in December, 1998, more than forty years later.  In this council he has held the office of Deputy Grand Knight, and he has very ably served as the Grand Knight during the just completed 2008-2009 fraternal year. It was a year in which the council once again earned Star Council status, thanks to Ron’s leadership and encouragement.  He has already signed up to organize the Running of the Rose Program in September, 2009.

Ron is also a member of the Fourth Degree Assembly and serves in its Honor Guard. He is a mass server, has been a facilitator for both Why Catholic? and for Our Father's Plan classes.  He also participates in the Wednesday Morning Bible Study Group.  Ron is a member of the clean-up crew on Sacred Heart’s Disaster Response Team and a picture of him, Rolland White, and Don Richardson appeared in a June 27 article in the Arkansas Catholic about the work of Sacred Heart’s DRT in Mena.

Fran is a member of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, a member of St. Monica's Guild, and serves on their committees.  Her life ministry for the past thirty years, in addition to keeping track of Ron, has been to take Catholics to the Holy Land and other sacred Catholic places including Rome, Fatima, Lourdes, and Turkey.

Mac Good served our council during the past year as Family Director. As such it fell on him to head up this year's Family Picnic, which was held Monday, May 18th. It is said that behind every good man stands a good woman. In Mac's case, he has two behind him. Mac was aided in this effort by his daughter, Nicole, who did a bang-up job of directing the work crew setting up the Balboa Pavilion. For their efforts in making this year's picnic such a tremendous success, they are given the Family of the Month award.
