Grand Knight’s report – Ricky

  • Went over the Back Pack initiative results. They were offered to HS system but weren’t needed. Next they were offered to the Tuscaloosa City School System.  There were 120 left that were offered to and accepted by Ensley.  When asked why they weren’t offered to the county prior to going outside Steve G said the county didn’t ask. Steve never stated if these were ever offered as were HS, the city schools and Ensley.  Apparently this initiative got our name out to state big time.
  • Gave the first Tailgate update. We’ll do this again for the 9/24 Arkansas game, but on Friday. I asked for a 2 week notice if they still wanted the pig as South Finest Meats needs lead time to procure one. Mentioned that I had already contacted a Ft Smith council.
  • Asked for us to think about a Family Night.
  • Went over the LDBBQ. We netted ~ $xxx
  • Sister E. wants help repairing the ball field fence.  She has everything except the manpower to install the patch.
  • The school board asked if we would fund a $xxx/yr tuition for a student at the school. Only discussion.
  • Trunk or Treat coming up. Ricky has a sign-up sheet. It will be Friday 10/28, 6:00 – 9:30pm
