Sunday we had our family picnic. It was an absolutely gorgeous day; the weather really cooperated. Not only that, our Worthy Deputy Grand Knight provides us with a spread that was delectable.  Everyone brought great side dishes to add to the array and I for one left quite full along with two cases of beer (Thanks Pierre!).

In attendance was about 11 knights and their families. I would say perhaps 35-40 people including children.

I wish I had more pictures, come of them came out blurry. However, if you’d like to see them, head to our gallery.

Dear Brother Knights,

First, I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As the new year is upon us it is time for us to make our new year resolutions. We all know that the number one reason for the Knights of Columbus is Charity. Giving Charity is accomplished in a number of ways, Time, Talent and Treasure.

There are some members of our council, who wish to give money to everyone who is in need. They live by the motto quoted in the Bible, “Ask and you shall receive”. Unfortunately, before you give, you have to have the means to give. As we all know, from our Worthy Grand Knight’s maticulous financial report, money is not falling freely into our bank account like manna falling freely from heaven.

To put money into our bank account, we have to work to put the money there, and that is accomplished by giving our Time and Talent to our Council’s fund raisers. We have two main fund raising projects each year, the Fish Fries and the Pizza sales.

Our Worthy Grand Knight, Fletcher Hastings, does all that he can, however, he cannot do it all by himself. He needs ALL of our help to accomplish our fund raising goals. I am personally asking each and every one of you, to make a New Year’s Resolution, to give of your Time and Talent, during this upcoming year in the assistance of Fletcher, in reaching our financial goal.

If we all work together, then the burden will not fall on the shoulders of a few, but on the shoulders of the many.
