Text Box: Grand Knight Report Brothers, We need to report to Supreme, all the hours that we donated to charitable works over the course of 2008. This must be in by the end of January. Included in this newsletter is a form for that purpose. Please fill it out and return it to me by December 15th so we can tally the hours and pass them on. Thanks for your cooperation. As we celebrate the thanksgiving season with family and friends, its remarkable how much we have and how thankful we should be. There are so many out there that have so little. We’re thankful that we had a free election and a chance to vote, or not, if the choice of candidates was unsatisfactory. Losing close friends and relatives during this time seems to be even more hurtful. So, let us pray for those departed souls and work to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Vivat Jesu GK

As of 10/17, Joe Ciaccio has volunteered to lead the RSVP committee. Bob Marinchick has volunteered to be the Parish roundtable rep. for the Church of the Incarnation.

If you need or would like any Knights of Columbus memorabilia, e.g., Prayer cards, rosaries, medals, K of C  hats, shirts, etc., please see  me.

From time to time, we receive a request  from a Church that we represent for help in painting, minor repairs or general landscaping.
