Due to the Independence Day holiday, the First Friday Adoration has been cancelled!

Despite a cool and rainy first night at Celebrate Fairfax in early June, our beer tent crew earned $3,819 for the council's general budget. Of that total, $1,650 was tips alone, a testament to the congeniality of our "bartenders" and the hard work of our beer-drenched tappers. The following brothers worked a "loud" shift at Celebrate Fairfax:

Dale Allen Paul Armstrong Bill Baker Erc Barone Dick Bulova Mike Burbach

Dave Burke Dave Evans Joe Fleming Ausberto Garcia Paul Gauthier Tom Gilding

John LaRosa Dave Lopez Mike Mannion Ron Martel Dean Mularoni Jim O'Brien

Joe Osborne Bob Plebanek Johnny Restivo Paul Rinderle Fidel Rodriquez Dave Sharp

John Steinbicker Tung Tran Dan Turgeon Virgil Villapando Bob Warakomsky Nick Yannarell

Good job to all!"
Mike Burbach

The MARINER enters the 21st Century! Commencing with the September Mariner, the newsletter will be predominantly electronic. The reason we are doing this is to cut operating costs, as well as providing a better product to our membership. The E-Mariner has many advantages over the present form:

It will be in color. Current printing costs prohibit color printing.
It will be available on a specific date, since we will not have to rely on the US Postal Service for delivery. We will send out an email notification to remind you to go to the website to read the Mariner when posted. Of course it will require that you ensure we have a current email address on file with the council Financial Secretary; please verify by emailing the financial secretary at FS8600@earthlink.net.
It will always be at your fingertips any time you need it right here at www.kofc8600.org.
It will save on printing and mailing costs, we estimate that we spent over $1,800 last year in printing and postage alone, not to mention the man-hours spent to collate and post the mailings--that is a lot of pancakes! These savings can then be turned around to continue the good works of the council.
It is the "green" thing to do, as it will reduce paper waste in our local landfills and save trees.
Lastly, it will cut down on the clutter in your mailbox, and who couldn't use that?

We hope that you will find this change a benefit. Look for your E-Mariner on our website in September!
