Sir Bill Nosek - December 2023 Knight of the Month
The Council 10208 "Leadership Team" voted to award the Knight of the Month designation to Sir Knight William "Bill" Nosek.
Sir Knight Bill was unable to attend the December meeting due to being held (I'm sure against his will) at Good Sam's Rehab Center so the Knight's Council brought the Award to him with Grand Knight "Gary Wolfer" and over 30 friends, Lady Knights, Nurse, Daughter and Wife joined in a surprise visit on December 8th at Good Sam's to present Sir Knight Bill with the December Knight of the Month Award!!

Placement of the Roses
On Thursday, November 9th the Knights of Columbus, Council 10208, sponsored the Silver Rose program to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe. The devotion is part of the KofC Silver Rose program and honors Our Lady as the patroness of the Americas and affirms the sanctity of all human life. Knights carry the Silver Rose from city to city, district to district, and council to council from Canada to the Basilica in Mexico City. The Silver Rose will arrive in Mexico City on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The rose symbolizes one of the roses that fell from the cloak of Saint Juan Diego when he delivered the Virgin's message to his Bishop on December 12, 1531.
Celebrating the Silver Rose Mass
The Silver Rose Prayer Service included a Rosary, Mass, and additional Prayers. The three Honor Guards were Bill Patterson, Francisco Gutierrez and Gary Wolfer along with eight Ladies of the Parish whom escorted and posted the Rose at the front of the alter. Fr. Bill celebrated the special mass.
Council 10208 was blessed with Three new Knights on October 29th.

| Past GK Rick Phillips accepting Council 10208, 2022-2023 Star Council Award from State District Deputy Murray Claassen |
The Star Council Award recognizes outstanding achievement in membership, insurance and programming. In order to achieve the Star Council Award, a council must earn the Father McGivney, Founders', and Columbian Awards. Additionally, the council must submit both the Annual Survey of Fraternal Activity (#1728) and Service Program Personnel Report (#365). In the United States and Canada councils must also be fully compliant with applicable safe environment requirements.
Council 10208 is so fortunate to have the leadership and members that it takes to consistently earn the Star Council Award year after year. It is not something that is easily done and without the leadership we have, it would not be possible.
