The Council recently received its first Bingo Prize Fee distribution check.

Texas recently passed bill HB 914 which was designed to help more of the prize fees go directly to Texas bingo charities rather than counties and municipalities.  For a charity to receive the prize fee, each county or municipality had to vote not to impose the prize fee, or not vote at all, in which case the charities would receive the fees.  Harris County declined to vote allowing those fees to be returned to County charities.  Unfortunately, the City of Houston voted to impose the fee and thus kept their portion of the fees.

A sincere thanks to the Harris County Commissioners for recognizing the benefits of local charities such as the Knights of Columbus and the service they provide to our community. Thank you.

The St. Clare Knights and wives took the opportunity to tour “The Painted Churches” in Schulenburg and across Fayette County. These churches date back to the turn of the 20th century when German and Czech immigrants built dozens of churches across Texas. The four churches that were toured look relatively simple from the outside, but contain incredible works of art within its walls.
