Brothers,
Please share this email with your wives, if they are planning to attend the 2014 Arizona State Council’s Mid-Year Meeting on December 5, 6, & 7, 2014, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Attached please find the registration and agenda information for the weekend.
At the Mid-Year Meeting on Saturday December 6, we will be praying the Rosary, from 8:00AM to 8:15AM. All Brother Knights, their wives, and guests are welcome to pray the Rosary with us. Immediately following the conclusion of the Rosary, the ladies will depart the council hall for the Ladies’ Program.
This year’s Ladies Program will be a fun service project which promises to bring Christmas joy to many Senior Citizens living in two Senior Homes in the Lake Havasu City area. We anticipate there to be a total of 79 residents at the two homes they will be visiting. (Note: Ladies will be split into two groups.) There will also be a great restaurant lunch where the ladies will join back together and share their experiences from the morning. Then, time permitting; there will be an opportunity for shopping.
Here is an agenda for the Ladies program:
Wrap Gifts
[if !supportLists]· [endif]8:15 AM The ladies, with their gifts, (details regarding gifts further down), leave the KofC Hall and drive to Our Lady of the Lake Parish Hall. The host council will provide drivers, or they can drive themselves if they like.

Brothers,
Due to overwhelming demand, the Quality Inn & Suites, the host’s hotel for the 2014 State Mid-Year Meeting, has sold out of non-smoking rooms. They still have smoking rooms, as well as suites.
We have secured a block of 15 non-smoking rooms at the Motel 8, near the Council Hall, at the rate of $59.00 plus tax. The rooms are not as nice as the Quality Inn, but they are clean, reasonably priced, and non-smoking. Please contact the hotel for your reservations. The deadline for this rate is October 24, 2014.
