12-04-2009 - CLEARBROOK CHRISTMAS DINNER DANCE It's time for the annual gala Christmas celebration with our friends from the Clearbrook Center. The festivities will be held on Friday, December 4th, beginning at 6:00 PM, with dinner prepared by the outstanding chefs of the Holy Rosary Council, led by Lance Krahl. Sadly, the Dance will have to end at 9:00 but in-between time, there'll be singing; dancing to live musical entertainment provided by a master of the squeezebox, Randy Heuvelman; and, possibly, even a visit from Santa and his elves. As we all know, The Council hosts three informal dinner dances, each year, for the developmentally disadvantaged residents and clients of Clearbrook Center. This is one way, among many, of fulfilling our mission to provide meaningful service to our community. The dinner dances also provide memorable experiences for our guests who, even though they hate for the evening to end, nevertheless leave with bright smiles on their faces and a great appreciation for what the Knights have done for them. To make this all happen, we rely on volunteers from many sources. We Knights cook, serve, set up the hall and clean up after the event. The Ladies Auxiliary sets up the eating utensils and helps serve the food. We rely on the Boy Scouts to serve refreshments, High School and Middle School students, together with religious affiliated groups and Squires, to register the guests and serve the food, and each of the volunteers to mingle with the guests, sing with them, dance with them and insure that they all have those bright smiles on their faces when they leave. There's another outcome of these dances: we volunteers also leave with smiles on our faces as well as a sense of gladness in our hearts that is indescribable. So, save the date: Friday, December 4th. Volunteer to help out. Call me, Al Vermiglio, at 847-537-3211 or e-mail me at, alavco@wmconnect.com, to get your name on the list. I'm asking for help from the entire Holy Rosary Council to make this dinner dance a success. We'll need about 6-8 ladies from the Auxiliary, 5-10 Scouts or Squires, 10 to 15 high school service organization students and about 10 to 12 Knight volunteers. For the other 440 plus Knights of the Council, I'll need you to say a novena for me that I don't mess this up. Thanks. Oh, one other thing, I'll need a volunteer Knight, who can fit into John Bauer's Santa suit, to play a starring roll in this production. We'll also need three short guys with pointy hats, shoes and noses to play Santa's helpers. It wouldn't hurt if they looked like Snap, Crackle and Pop either. You four guys know who you are so give me a call and volunteer. |
