Congratulations to our August 2022 Knight of the Month Chris Mullaney.
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!!
