Had enough of outdoor events getting rained out? Well get ready - the All Night BINGO Breakfast at Marian Central Catholic High School is held indoors, and is coming on Saturday October 16th.
The Marian Father’s Club is THRILLED with our decision to provide breakfast and is convinced that this addition to their event will be a huge selling point. Advertisements targeted to the BINGO community will include our breakfast as a new feature. Our own survey of ANB participants at the Spring event indicated an interest in breakfast by 60% of the attendees.
Last week, I spoke with our contact in the school office to start the internal process of coordinating the kitchen, custodian, and administration resources that we will need.
While the BINGO games begin at 7PM on Saturday, our arrival won’t be until around midnight, and the work will go into Sunday morning.
If you are still interested in helping out, and have not previously signed up, send me an email and I will include you on future emails. kotleba@sbcglobal.net

Founders Days Parade Info
Sir Knights,
Mark Heineman has reminded me about the parade this Saturday.
Please consider participating in this Saturday’s parade in Algonquin. The weather is supposedly going to be more tolerable than it has been lately. (I heard 70’s with a slight cooling lake breeze) (Okay maybe I’m exaggerating slightly) Anyway, at least we will have cool drinks afterward, right Jim?
Thankfully, we are close to the front so we won’t be waiting too long to step off.
Hopefully we will have a respectable turnout to show the community that we are a strong and vibrant group.
Thank You,
S.K. Mark Heineman
And,
FN Dan Quirk
What: Algonquin Founders Day Parade
When: This Saturday July 24th SUT 10:15 – 10:30
Where: St. Margaret Mary parking lot.
Attire: Full Regalia
Parade kicks off at 11:00 A.M.

Founders Days Remembers the Past
We are about to embark on our annual community gathering that is Founders Days. Let us remember that there was a time not long ago where Algonquin and its surrounds were mostly corn fields and cow pastures.
As you watch our friends in the video celebrate in homage to our once-sleepy town's past, you may even want to dance. Bring out da funk and bust a move.
See you at Founders Days: Thursday through Sunday at Towne Park in Algonquin.

Clay Pigeon Shoot
From the Grand Knight...
Brothers-
Our annual Clay Pigeon Shoot is coming up fast on August 7th. As in years past, it will be held on a Saturday morning at the Coon Creek Hunt Club.
We have 22 Knights with family and friends signed up at the moment, we can comfortably handle about 50 or so for the event. If you plan on attending, be sure to let me know by August 1st if possible at 847-658-1568 or ahlje@comcast.net.
This is a great morning of "busting clays" with your Brothers and friends in a safe and comfortable environment. If you haven't shot before, we will have plenty of shotguns available at all sizes. Stuart and I, along with the staff at the club, will be doing a safety talk at 8:00 am with the shoot starting around 8:30. As we did last year, the owner of the club will be giving beginners a course to learn how to enjoy shooting clays and operate a shotgun.
If you have interest, let me know, I will be sending all those folks a longer write-up the week prior.
Cost this year is the same as last year:
$8.00 per round of 25 clays (you will likely shoot both sides, so 50 clays @ $16.00)
$6.50 per box of shells (25 to a box, so if you shoot both sides, $13.00)
The speed shoot will be operating again this year, so plan on that again (it is an addicting combo shoot with a partner!).
FOID card? If you are planning bringing your own shotgun or purchasing ammo before arriving, you will need your FOID card for that. If you plan on showing up and using another's shotgun and ammo, no FOID card is needed.
Bug spray and sun screen should be in your bag.......if you bring, we will have cool, cloudy, bug free day. If you don't......
We usually order pizzas for lunch for those that stick around. The shoot is typically over by noon.
Vivat Jesus!
Jerry Ahler, Grand Knight
Mechanic Needed: St. Vincent DePaul Society
From the Grand Knight...
Brothers,
As most of you know, our Council has agreed to be a resource to the St. Vincent DePaul Society at St. Margaret Mary. What this means is that if the SVDP teams discover a family that is in need of a specific skill to help them get back on their feet, we would go to our membership and see if those services can be provided at reduced cost or free.
Keep in mind that SVDP would not bring us a case that wasn't in severe need, so as we get these, please know that your help would go a very long way in keeping a family or individual on track to getting back on their feet in these tough times.
Brother Dean Duley, our SVDP liason, has received the following request for automobile mechanic services. Please let us know if you have these skills available as soon as possible to help this family out. You can contact Dean (dduley@aeg-usa.com) or myself (ahlje@comcast.net) if you can help of if you have questions.
Vivat Jesus!
Jerry Ahler, Grand Knight
Altar Server Pool Party Reboot
From John Wolak...
Come for the food, stay for the belly flop contest.
Hi all - Village Hall confirmed we have the pool August 15th 6:30. I will modify the K of C Monthly Newsletter article, Church announcement, Church bulletin and new Altar Server Appreciation forms to put out soon.
I will communicate this also at next council meeting, requesting new budget and plan to have food ready at 6:00 so as people arrive they can eat while we're all waiting for the pool to open at 6:30.
Thanks all,
Brother John
