Text Box: Grand Knight Report Forms VSS6, VSS4, and 185 are done and sent. I am sorry that we lost another one of our members, Jack Cornacho, but I know he’s in a better place now. I want to thank all those that took the time to honor our Brother Knight by taking part in the funeral. I also want to thank the Knights that put the awards dinner together, and all those that volunteered for any project during the year. Special thanks to the wives and families that took part in our activities, and DGK John Chiumento who would bring in his youth group to help with our various projects. I thank the council for electing me Grand Knight for the 2007 – 2008 year. It was a challenge and a learning experience. Most of the time it was fun and enjoyable, but there were times when I wondered if we were on the same page. As my term comes to an end and a new one begins, I want to remind each of you to give all the support you can to the new officers, just as you supported me. Thank You, Joe Murray
