This Monday night at 7:00pm, come enjoy an interesting and informative discussion on the basics of our Catholic faith, presented by brother Sir Knight George Bercaw. How much do you really know about Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular? What is Columbian spirituality and how can you best live it day-to-day? This ongoing series will help you get a handle on the truths that are taught to us in the Catholic faith. The group will meet on the 4th Monday of every month at the hall at 7:00pm. This is a great opportunity for you learn more about your faith. Knowledge sharpens the sword of truth, so make plans to attend!
All of the hard work in 2007 paid off! The Supreme Council awarded Holy Family Council 6099 DOUBLE STAR COUNCIL status for 2007. The Double Star is awarded to councils that meet their membership quota for the year and experience at least 200% growth. 6099 was one of only 501 councils that acheived Double Star status this year. That puts 6099 in the top 3% of councils in the world! Congratulations to membership chairman Allen Greenwell, membership committee and everyone who had a part in helping the council achieve this distinguised honor. Nothing says we can't do it one more time!

Did you make it to the Luau on August 9? If not, you missed quite a time. This was the best-attended benefit luau ever with more than 140 attending. It was a jam-packed parking lot and hall to raise money for the council's MR Fund. The band, Plum Crazy, was in excellent form. Mary Simms, wife of Andy Simms, was the winner of the Limbo competition with Christian Evers finishing a close second. Mary Catherine McConnell (pictured) took top honors in the best costume contest.
