Brother Knights,
Please see the information below. So far we have 15 volunteers and we need at least 35. We are in desperate need of at least 20 more volunteers in order to fulfill our obligation in this very important activity. We know that it is the 4th of July and a lot of us will be out of town or will be with family. We are not asking for you to give up your entire day or evening. It is for two and half to three (3) hours of your time. We will be finished before it gets dark, which will give you plenty of time to get back to your family for your evening activities. I just want you to know that you will be helping the unfortunate that evening (late afternoon) with one meal. And that one meal may be the only balanced meal they will be getting that day or days. But we can’t help them if we don’t have enough volunteers to help feed them. So I are asking you to please give up a part of your day to help those unfortunate souls who will be grateful of our services!
We appreciate all you do to help other who can’t help themselves. we look forward in hearing from you in the next few days. The attached form need to be signed and return to me prior to helping on Friday, July 4, 2014 from 4:00-6:30pm. You can email it or send it to me. Please see below how you can contact me.
Bless you my Brothers in Christ!

On Friday, July 4, 2014, we have been asked to help serve Dinner at St. Vincent de Paul Dining Hall, located at 420 W. Watkins Road, Phoenix, AZ. Volunteers from Catholic Charities will be staffing the breakfast and the Diocese of Phoenix Staff and families will staffing the lunch. Bishop Nevares will be in attendance to serve lunch along the with the Diocese Staff. Call time is 3:30pm and Dinner time is from 4:00pm to 6:30pm (usually finish up between 6:00-6:15pm). As you can see we will still have time to enjoy fireworks after dark that evening. We are in need of 35-40 people to help out at dinner time. The St Vincent de Paul staff will provide/schedule volunteers for the family evening meal.
For you Councils, this will be a great opportunity to add or fulfill your Community Activity for the month of July. And to let you know, this is not just for Phoenix and its surrounding cities and towns, but this invitation goes out to Tucson and its surrounding cities and town and Flagstaff and its surrounding cities and towns. In order to be eligible to work the dinner, a person will be at least 8 years old (8-14 must be accompanied by parent/guardian) and have a sign affidavit (see attachment) prior to working/volunteering. Please read and complete the attached form and return it to me by email (preferred) or snail mail as quickly as possible. So as you can see, this can be a family activity with family member(s) helping out, which equates to be fun. Also, please wear conservative comfortable clothing with closed in shoes. Will you help us on July 4, 2014?
I am the contact person for this Activity and my contact information is below.
