Farewell for Former GK Kerry White and SK Mark Russell
2021-06-10 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | CO
Brother Knights,
Two members of our council and their wives will be leaving the Colorado Springs area to be closer to family. Past Grand Knight Kerry White and Rebecca White will be moving to Oklahoma. Also, Past Officer Mark Russell and Jill Russell will move to Montana.
We are happy that these couples shared our parish with us and were brother knights, so we would like to bid them farewell with a party. The date of the event is June 10th, which is our normal member meeting date. The time and place for the party is 6 pm to about 8pm at the church hall.
We will be serving plates with hamburgers and hot dogs, chips, a dessert and a drink. You can stop by for dinner or just stop by to chat and bid the couples farewell.
Please RSVP via email on whether or not you will be having dinner at the gathering so that we can have a good idea of how much to buy. Don’t be shy. Also, we will need help preparing and serving the meal, so if you would like to help, let us know.
