Holy Father’s Prayer Intention: We pray that political leaders be at the service of their
own people, working for integral human development and the common good, especially
caring for the poor and those who have lost their jobs.

Shalom House: Our next opportunity to serve dinner to the gentlemen of Shalom House is Sunday, August 4. A Sign-Up Genius link is in the email accompanying this newsletter. Thank you to Larry Hoffman for going along to provide fellowship in July.
Bylaws: We have identified the parts of the bylaws that need to be modernized, and our
plan is to meet on the first Tuesday of each month until we have finished drafting the
updated document. Our first session will be Tuesday, August 6 at 7:00pm in The
Clubroom. All members are encouraged to attend and share their ideas.
Picnic: Preparations are underway for our annual picnic at The Park on Saturday, August
24 from 10:00am-7:00pm. It takes a small army to hold this event, so please reach out to
Matt Flickner if you are able to help set up/sell food/clean up/etc.
Meeting Attendance: We currently average about 20 Brothers at each meeting. Let’s
double that by the end of the year! If you haven’t ever (or recently) joined us, please
plan to attend. Your input and participation is vital to the future success of our council.
Horseshoes for Moe: There will be a horseshoe tournament at The Park on Friday, Au-
gust 16 at 6:00pm to benefit the family of our recently deceased brother Tommy “Moe”
Vielhauer, Jr. Contact Chris Meyer to enter your team.
Moonlight Market: Thank you to Keith Bukovaz, Jerry Bumgarner, Brian Dorr, Adam
Lee, Dickie Marx, and Brad Reed for cooking, and selling food and drinks. The fries and
onion rings were a big hit! Moonlight Market happens the third Thursday of each month.
Bring your family and friends in August to enjoy some cheap food!
