Joe Samme Knight of the Month—January 2012

Knight Joe Samme  

At the January meeting of the St. Mary of Huntley Knights of Columbus Council #11666, the trustees selected Knight Joe Samme as Knight of the Month for January 2012, recognizing his contributions to the council’s activities.

Joe joined the Knights of Columbus in October 2011 and immediately looked for ways he could become an active member of the council by participating in the various charitable, service and fund raising activities sponsored by the council. 

Joe helped fabricate Nativity sets that can be seen displayed in front yards throughout Huntley.  The money donated for the Nativity sets is used to fund various charitable activities of the council.  Additionally, Joe also helped with the parking lot at old St. Mary’s Churchfor the annual Huntley Turkey Testicle Festival, with funds from the parking donations helping the council’s charity actions.  Joe also helped with the quarterly blood drive in December and has signed up to help on a future council project.

Joe has exemplified the Knights of Columbus mission of “In service to one. In service to all” in a short period of time earning him the recognition as Knight of the Month for January 2012.
