GRAND KNIGHT FRED SCHOLZ’ REPORT:
Worthy Brothers and Friends;
I hope everyone has received
their invitations to the annual
Christmas Party on the 20th. I
used the listing that I had, so if
you’ve been missed, I’m sorry;
please email or call me. Let’s
have a nice time! Bill
Lyons and his crew have done a
nice job with recruitment;
they’ve got 14 names of
potential candidates to bring
in.! I think the “24 hour Knight”
is helping. Good job so far; let’s
see if we can bring them in. At
the Parish Council meeting on
Nov 17th we received
permission to have our
PAGE 1
Thanks to all who helped at the
breakfast on the 22nd. Joe, Richard,
Carl, Rod, Rich, Skip, Mark, Dan,
Sal and Steve all helped make a nice
time of it. Thanks to all who
are helping Mark, Al and Skip with
the Christmas card and magnet sales.
Those “Keep Christ in Christmas”
magnets and stickers look good and
get to the point!
Thanks to Bob for pitching in for me
on the 24th, to Al for the donut sales
on the 6th, and to Don and Laura for
their continued help and support; I’m
very grateful.

which will aid in the

most important goal of
every Knight: Charity.

It has pleased Almighty God
to take one from our midst.
Don Deaett Sr. passed away
th
on November 14 . He was in
a wheel chair and was a
Knight with us for 5 years.
He was refused membership
by another council here in
San Diego because of his
disabilities. They told him
that they didn't need a
disabled person in their
ranks how sad to deny
anyone in good standing
with the church a
membership in the Knights.
He will be missed. He and
his wife Evelyn were married
for 63 years and 7 months. DUES,

being prepared and will be sent out

Deacon Richard Melrose
My Brothers and Friends;
I would strongly encourage you to
contact your Senator(s), as I have
done with the letter below, based
on information I received from the
Catholic Legislative Network.
"Senator;
I am writing to encourage you to
strongly consider endorsing and
supporting the Hatch-Nelson
Amendment.
Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and
Ben Nelson (D-NE) have submitted
an amendment to the health care
reform bill that -- like the Stupak
amendment in the House --
prevents the Senate version of
reform from mandating abortion
coverage or providing federal
funds for coverage that includes
elective abortions. Those wishing
to purchase abortion coverage
may continue to do so with their
own private funds, but not in the
government-run health care plan
("community health insurance
option") or with the help of federal
subsidies.
I personally and morally am
opposed to anyone being allowed
to murder an innocent child, but
for my tax dollars to assist them in
that criminal activity, cleverly
disguised as "choice" is repugnant
and reprehensible.
The US Bishops are strongly urging
the Senate to incorporate essential
PAGE 3
NOVEMBER 2009
In a November 20 letter to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. bishops
urged essential changes in the
Senate bill: to retain federal
policy on abortion funding and
conscience protection; to
protect access to health care
for immigrants; and to provide
for adequate affordability and
coverage standards. The
bishops said: "Sadly, the
legislative proposal recently
unveiled in the Senate does
not meet these moral criteria."
I am prayerfully hopeful that
you will review, support and
endorse the Hatch-Nelson Council Goes Digital
Amendment."
In this age of digital media,
