PINOCHLE TOURNAMENT WINNERS March Tony Tardif & Cindy Zylla April Angie Barket & Dan Skora Players . . . . .Just a reminder that we have May & June left for playing before we take a break for the summer. Plan on enjoying your summer and when we resume in September, bring a friend. Don’t forget to pass the word, maybe we can add a few players. We’re always looking for competitive competition. FROM THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY……...There are still a few Brother Knights out there who have not as of yet paid their 2015 membership dues. One-third of the year has flashed by and that means if your dues aren’t paid, they are long past due! First and Second Notices were sent out and for those who haven’t paid yet, you also received a Knight Alert letter with signatures from the Grand Knight and Trustees. As we sat and went over these, many were surprised to see some of the names that aren’t current paid up members. In the next week or so, you will be receiving the last communication before suspension. Some of you have over 20 years of service to the order, please pay your dues. Darryl Troczynski
