New Conway Signs & Knights of Columbus

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:26:05 +0000

The first of two Conway Signs has been completed. Coming from the south into Conway just before mile marker 129 a huge “Conway City of Colleges” sign can be seen from I-40. The sign is privately funded with the help of many individuals, businesses and 5 civic groups. The Knights of Columbus was contacted last year and was asked if we would be interested in having our emblem placed on the sign. This opportunity was discussed under “New Business” and passed at one of the monthly meetings.

The Knights of Columbus was later contacted about placing a time capsule in the sign. An email was sent to Mrs. Susie Freyaldenhoven about gathering some items from St. Joseph to place in the time capsule. The items placed were a Bulldog “beanie baby”, a Rosary blessed by the Pope, an Arkansas Catholic newspaper, St. Joseph Bazaar newspaper ad, a St. Joseph church bulletin and a few other items. These items were placed in a PVC tube and placed at the very top of the sign inside the “City of Colleges” concrete block.

Plans have been made and construction should begin soon for a second sign on the North end of Conway.

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 19:34:52 +0000

Our Knights of Columbus council has many proud moments to be celebrate this past year. However there is one that stands out. The Arkansas state family of the year comes from our council.

Larry and Mary Joe Seiter were chosen out of many families throughout the state to represent Arkansas at the national convention in Denver CO in August. What better representation for the state of Arkansas than to have Larry and Mary Joe doing it for us. Their family exemplifies the true meaning of family.

Larry and Mary Joe our council and our St. Joseph community is very proud of you! Thank you both for all that you do to make our lives much better.
