Nate Brown is looking for volunteers to help setup and teardown and help customers with smiling service, and carrying of items during the sale, and to help acquire quality items for resale.  The Knights are very interested in your saleable donations for our yard sale.  IF you have any questions about an item, if you need pickup, or if you have metal for us to recycle, please call Nate at 616-874-8087 to find out more.  VOLUNTEERS please contact Nate by phone or let GK Larry know with our ONLINE signup form (below) if you plan to be working one or both of those days.  We cannot and do NOT want Televisions, or electronic items, such as old computers, monitors, etc, as we have to pay to throw them away and the likelihood of a sale is nearly zero.  (Best Buy does take televisions, at no charge, and you can deliver them at the store-just go in and alert someone and they will take it)

If you can wrap your item in clear plastic-we thank you!  Anything you can do to package your item, to help make it sale -able is greatly appreciated!!  We raise funds at this event to pay the costs of travel for our clergy, among other things.

The 12th annual BEST PROM EVER! will be held on April 22nd 2017 at Sparta High School.  Last years’ event had 1500 guests!  This year attendance is expected to be even larger, possibly 2000!  The Best Prom Ever! is a prom dance for those who are mentally impaired, complete with CATERED DINNER, a DJ for Dancing, plus Prom Portraits and lots of other activities!  Our Knights helped setup, tear-down, and offered special care needed for this event to be able to happen.  Chairperson Renne Wyman is looking forward to our help again this year.

Volunteers MUST submit a background check form for security and to work with youth on a public school campus.  Please visit www.bestpromever.org as soon as possible to do this.

Volunteer positions include serving food, helping on the stairs, restrooms, activities, setup, chair/table moving, and having smiles for all!  Contact Chad Carlisle with our ONLINE FORM below.

Knight needed to run 2018 k of C annual Eater Egg Hunt!  And several to help.  This is a great event our council sponsors each year!  It is fun to be involved, to get your own family members involved, to meet those in the community who support this event.  Training and support all along the way!  Please send in your name to get more information.
