Grand
Knight’s Words
Brother Knights…To be a Knight is a special thing to us
Catholic Gentlemen. Most people have heard of us and know the
charitable works that we do as an organization. This is your
opportunity to help out a worthy cause that your council supports.
It’s easy; all you have to do is go out to eat with your family on
Sunday June 27, 2010 after the Quarterly Mass at St. Anthony church.
Your council is holding a fund raiser for Life Choices, were the
Council meets. It is Hacienda Day ( First Ave. location) part of the
money spent on meals or gift certificates will be donated back to
the council to give to Life Choices. I hope that all of you Brothers
will come out and join us and help with this worthy cause. I know I
will because I love to eat. I hope to see all of you there.
Grand Knight Joe Schalasky
