Weatherford Council 7264 Heeds the Call for Christmas Joy

Council 7264 held its annual Christmas party on December 16th.  Every Knight, and their guest, was asked to bring a gift for a needy child.  Over 60 presents were collected and given to Sister Mildred who will distribute them to needy boys and girls of St. Stephen’s Church in Weatherford Texas.

image The highlight of the evening was a meal of Roasted Pork Loin, Baked Chicken, Baked Potatoes, Steamed Veggies, Salad and Assorted Pies and Ice Cream.  After dinner, everyone was treated to a Christmas Carol trivia quiz game, hosted by our Grand Knight Andre Blanchard.  Four couples won a prize for the most correct answers on the 20 question quiz while everyone in the audience played along.  The evening ended with a drawing for 40 door prizes. 

Our success for this night was due to the hard work of many Knights.  Thanks to Brother Lenard Wright and his team of cooks who purchased and prepared an outstanding meal.  Kudos to Grand Knight Andre Blanchard, his wife Janie and all those on the decorating committee for converting our hall to a Christmas wonderland.  Brother Vic Verstraete and Brother Norbert Stanislav were responsible for gathering the many door prizes and Brother Lawrence Bierschenk and Brother Charles Schabow took care of guest reservations.  The biggest thank you has to go to all for their support and generosity shown this night.  Everyone left the party with a big smile knowing they had fun but also knowing their generosity will make many needy boys and girls feel the same way on Christmas morning.
