On September 19th, Anchor Bay Council 5981 hosted its annual Council Appreciation Dinner honoring the charities and causes the council supported in the 2023-2024 Fraternal Year. Charities included were: St. Louis Center, Anchor Bay Special Education Programs, Immaculate Conception K-8 and Cardinal Mooney Catholic High schools, the Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team (MCREST), St. Vincent DePaul, and many more.
The Compassion Pregnancy Center in Clinton Township was presented with a $1,000 gift as a part of the Council's ASAP efforts, and the St. Mary Queen of Creation Food Pantry will be receiving another $500 in donations as well as 96 coats from Anchor Bay Council's participation in the State Council "Coats for Kids" program BOGO program.
Worthy State Deputy Barry Borsenik and Worthy GK Richard Burke presented the Knight of the Year and Family of the Year awards to Wayne Miller, Jr and to Dale and Donna Valliere respectively.
Keynote Speaker, Brother SK Arvin Stephenson, spoke of his journey into the Permanent Diaconate and will be ordained as a Deacon in the Archdiocese of Detroit on October 5th at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. The Council presented Arvin with an Anchor Bay Council jacket so that no matter where his Diaconate journey takes him, he will always be a member of Council 5981!
Our Worthy State Deputy gave his final remarks and thanked the Council for its service to so many charities and doing the good work of the Order.
Many thanks to all of the dignitaries and charities that were able to attend and make the evening special, including State Deputy Barry Borsenik, His Excellency Most Reverend Bishop Robert Fisher, Fr. Franklin Arockiadoss (St. Louis Center), Fr. Nick Zukowski (former Council Chaplain), Diocesan Membership Director Walter Papciak, and Diocesan Program Director Ron Depestel.
God Bless and Vivat Jesus!
