Dear Friends:
Here is a chance for you to "give back." If you volunteer, you will doubtless run into my dear hubby.
--------------------------
The Knights of Columbus Chapter in the Diocese of Austin has an excellent opportunity to raise funds
for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin Office of Pro-Life Activities and Chaste Living. They need your
help.
Sodexo, the food Vendor for the Circuit Of the Americas (COTA), has generously offered the chance to
staff some of their concession stands for the Formula One Race. In return they will be making a lot of
money for Pro Life. If we do a good job, more opportunities with them will come our way.
We need contact information for 450 volunteers by 8/29/2014
These funds are being donated to our Diocese Office of Pro Life and Chaste Living. This office supports a
myriad of ministries in the Austin Diocese; Project Rachael, Sidewalk Ministries, Gabriel Project, Pro-Life
Helpline, Natural Family Planning, Catechesis on Human Love Certification the UT. Party for Life, Texas
Catholic Pro Life Day, the Coordination of Parish Pro-Life Committees, Culture of Life Speakers Bureau,
and much more.
Could you please send your contact information to austinknightsf1@gmail.com, or call/text (512) 387-
0337 right away. Please let us know which of the 3 days you can work. If you can work all three, that
would be great!!
The Formula One race is in October 31st, November 1st & 2nd. You can work any or all of the 3 days.
Our shift will start around 4:00 am, with most going home at 7 pm, though some of us will be going
home around 8 Pm. All are encouraged to obtain their TABC License. This can be received online for
$12.00. It takes approximately 2 hours online. See link.
There is also a Mandatory Food Certification Required.

Volunteers must be at least 15 years old. You must be at least 18 years old to sell alcohol (with a TABC
license, of course).
Most will work in the food stands, which also sells alcohol. A few will work in the beverage stands.
Parking, breakfast & lunch will be provided. There will also be breaks during the day. Of course, there
will be no entry charge.
God Bless You and Yours,
Knights of Columbus
