2011_Knight_Aug_Hiemenz

Rick Hiemenz is August’s Knight of the Month and is being specifically recognized for his meal planning and kitchen leadership relative to the August 4, 2011 special evening with the seminarians. While there was concern that we would not break even with so many non-paying guests and prospective members, the Council actually realized an $800 profit due largely to the prudent planning and food purchases by Rick.

Born in Buffalo, New York, Rick has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. He was employed with the Army and Air Force Exchange service for 28 years having lived in 4 different countries and 4 different states before retiring in 1996 while living in Dallas and moved to the Village later that year.

Rick has been a Knight for over 32 years and transferred his membership to Sacred Heart and this Council soon after his arrival in the Village. He is also a member of the Men’s Club of Sacred Heart.

Over the last 14 years, Rick has assumed responsibility for insuring that kitchen crews are available for serving a growing number of meals for regular monthly meetings, breakfast fundraisers, Fish Bake, Chicken Bake, Mardi Gras Fall Festival and other miscellaneous events, the most recent being the August 4^th meeting meal honoring all the seminarians.

Thanks, Rick, for your continued dedication in serving this Council and Parish.
