MI Drive a Huge Success

This past weekend’s MI Drive was a huge success raising nearly $4,000 over the three day run.  Our chairman, Steve Brown, did a great job of organizing and lining up corners & storefronts at which we could solicit donations.  While we could certainly have used even more man-hours of help, we did get great cooperation from our members.  This marks the first time in recent history that we have held a 3-day MI drive in the fall–our Columbus Day weekend MI drive has been a 1-day (Saturday) event.  Fall weekends seem to find our members (particularly those with young families) much more busy than the spring drive over the Palm Sunday weekend.  We all understand the difficulty of squeezing out time on such busy weekends and appreciate that family is a priority.  We are grateful for all the efforts made by all of our members on whatever activities they are able to commit themselves to in service to our order and the community.

We should look forward to disbursing these funds at out next regular business meeting on November 2, 2009.  I hope to see all of our members there– Rosary at 7:20 p.m.; business begins at 8:00 p.m. in lower Zepf Hall
