I welcome comments from any member or family member to keep us up to speed with our brother knights. Has anyone visited or talked to John Rossi?

Did you know that we have a few members that started new fun events? We have redone our horseshoe pits last summer and made some improvements to the back yard etc. These men wanted to continue to enjoy it. So, on the first day of winter, we played horseshoes. Then the idea was to expand into the council. On January 1st we played horseshoes, shuffleboard and pool. The fun continued February 8th playing in the parking lot a homemade mini horseshoes, shuffleboard & pool. The plan is to continue to meet the first Sunday of each month. We have a sign up sheet at the council or just show up about 2 p.m., join or watch the fun. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The MI/ Tootsie Roll Drive is Palm Sunday weekend, March 27th, 28th, & 29th. We will need helping hands to host the kitchen and provide food for the men. I will have a sign-up sheet for volunteers at our next meeting. The Kid’s Easter Party is set for April 4th. Our chairperson’s are Kim Weston and Chris VanHouteghen. We ask that you please sign-up at the council by Tuesday March 31st. Remembering in our Prayers, those who have passed, those who are suffering, those facing hardship, and the men and women in the military who defend our great country and our freedom.
