This award proves that God can use anyone in His service, no matter how unworthy they may be. 

Jim Sparks

We, at Council 10208, are pleased to announce Brother Jim Sparks has been chosen Knight of the Month for November.  A very popular Hot Springs Village Institution, Home Plate Restaurant, owned by the Sparks’, and our Council arranged a cruise for over 80 participants in October.  Rebates from the cruise line put nearly $3,000 into our coffers last month.  This money, combined with the other efforts of Council 10208, have helped many local charities that cater to the disabled, dispossessed, and needy.  

Thanks you ever so much, Jim.  We appreciate your initiative, efforts, and generosity.  Let us all congratulate Jim and his family for their support of Council 10208 and in recognition of this well deserved award.

Sir Knight Jim Ashley; Sir Knight Ray Curry; Sir Knight William Herbert; Sir Knight Joseph Janus; Sir Knight Bud Osmun; Sir Knight Father Raymond Rossi; Brother Knight Rodger Bresnahan; Brother Knight Danny Celestin; Brother Knight Jim Elder; and Brother Knight Dick Palinko.

May Eternal Rest be granted them.
