SCAVENGER HUNT
Our newest youth project took place over the summer and was recently completed after the start of school. 18 children and their families registered to participate in the Scavenger Hunt program.

Brother John Canoles prepared a list of over 50 challenging items for them to find and identify in the surrounding communities. It provided a great opportunity for the kids and their families to work andhave some fun times together.
The prize winners are:
Grades 1 - 2.......Sebastian Schuler ............1st Place $20
Grades 3 - 5.......Lukas Deuber..................1st Place $20
                         Makaila Alcarese.............2nd Place $10
Grades 6 - 8.......Josh Elliott.......................1st Place $20
                        Conner Alcarese...............2nd Place $10

TOP OVERALL SCORE WINNER was Josh Elliott, son of none other than our worthy Council Secretary Brother Bob, who won an additional $10.

Awards will be presented following the school Mass on Thursday Oct. 6. Congratulations to all the winners and participants, and especially to John Canoles for creating and leading this new project.

FAMILY OF THE MONTH
The Family of the Month for September is the Tom Rowan family. Warden Tom Rowan has helped the Council in many ways and has become a core member of our organization. Currently Tom is chairing the car raffle ticket sales as he has done before. He is especially popular with the membership for his work with the kegerator for draft beer after meetings and at parish events.

Tom’s wife, the popular Dana, has been President of the Ladies auxiliary as well as a valued contributor to Knights events.

Tommy Junior is a future Knight and is involved in many of our activities as well as working for the parish. Like his Dad, Tommy is a likely future Grand Knight.

Tom Sr. recently organized our Council trip to the Ironbirds game and is an important member of our Home committee where he helps with remodeling and repair projects in the Council Home. He is truly an asset to LGVC and so the Rowans are our September Family of the Month!
