Grand Knight’s Message
Aug 5th
Brother Knights:
We are trying out a new Newsletter format. This is a preliminary option as we are still shopping around for an e-newsletter service. Please feel free to send your feedback to nativityknightsnewsletter@gmail.com
The summer is moving along, school starts this month already and KC Breakfasts start next month. Keep an eye out for the next newsletter which will include breakfast worker lists.
I want to give a special thank you to Steve Motschenbacher for his help with the July audit, the Knight out at the RedHawks, and managing of all the membership information. He is a great help to me as Grand Knight. Thanks Steve!
Vivat Jesus! Josh Mathern
Going Paperless
Aug 5th
In an effort to be good stewards of council funds, we are moving our newsletter to a paperless, electronic version. This will be happening in the next couple of months. The goal is for our last paper newsletter to be produced in October at the latest. You can help us out by reminding your Brother Knights to sign up by contacting nativityknightsnewsletter@gmail.com.
In Memorium

Family of the Month
Knight of the Month
The July 2010 Knight of the Month is Jerry Solwey, who is now a two-time Past Grand Knight of our Council. Last year, Jerry stepped forward to again lead the Council and by doing so helped the Council have another outstanding year. Jerry is dedicated to the service of others. For example, he rarely gets to sit in the pews at Mass because he nearly always participates in an extra-ordinary minister role. Jerry, thanks for your service and congratulations, you deserve the recognition!
Altar Server of the Month
Thank you to the June Altar Server of the Month Grace Kidder and the July Altar Server of the Month, Logan Sebestl for your service to Nativity.
