LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES
With excitement, The Fund Development Department held a Grand Opening of a newly constructed Pickleball Court at the Northwest Campus. During the celebration, several Knights of Columbus, Gibault Staff, and guests enjoyed a delicious dinner provided by the Kitchen Staff. The special one-on-one time with the children was very delightful! Many took advantage of the opportunity to tryout the court, which led all to laugh! Gibault is so thankful for the financial support by donors who knew
this would be a great addition to the campus.
We look forward to providing this same opportunity to the Terre Haute Campus!
Please consider a donation to support the installation of this new
recreational area - a gift of any size helps! Click below:

GIBAULT BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Members of the Gibault Board of Trustees traveled from across Indiana to our Terre Haute campus in late July for a weekend of board meetings and fellowship. The gathering marked several important milestones for the organization. We were pleased to introduce Ben Winters and Abby Parks of our new insurance partner, Winters-Oliver, and to recognize the retirement of Matt Finn, our longtime investment consultant with Old National Wealth, for his years of dedicated service. We also welcomed new Board members Steve Chatot of Muncie and Jesse Guadiana of Hammond, along with special guest David Negrete, Indiana State Advocate for the Knights of Columbus.
A highlight of the weekend was Leadership's presentation of the proceeds from the annual Gibault Raffle. The raffle, with tickets mailed each year to Indiana Knights of Columbus members along with their annual dues notices, is instrumental in providing life-changing opportunities for the children and families served by Gibault.
The board meets quarterly. If you think you have the talent and skills and would like to serve on our board please email Kathy Bradbury, administrative assistant to the CEO at kathy.bradbury@gibault.org for an application.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS SUMMER ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING
The Indiana Knights of Columbus held their Summer Organizational Meeting in South Bend last month and Gibault was blessed to be invited to attend. This is a great opportunity to cultivate relationships with the Knights and their ladies. Activities were held on the Notre Dame campus, including praying the rosary at the grotto.
We look forward to hosting the group in December at their Mid-year Winter Meeting being held on our Terre Haute Campus. We welcome new State Deputy Bob Zielinski, State Secretary Ryan Grill, State Treasurer Jeff Emminger and State Advocate David Negrete to their newly appointed positions!
