Arkansas Family Of The Year

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.

Pool Registration 2011

Our pool is scheduled to open Memorial weekend.  The family membership dues have not changed however any family who wants to use the pool must pay KC pool membership dues of $90 (KofC member).  A registration form must be filled out as each family is posted on the Pool Membership bulletin board.  Each person listed on the member registration form must be living in the home listed on the form.  There is no family exempt from paying family pool dues, this money is needed to cover the cost of paying lifeguards and maintaining the pool.
