Dear Brother Knights,
Knowing 2011 was a great year at the Knights of Columbus it will be that much harder to improve upon it. When most clubs have seen a loss of membership we’ve seen a gain, Our participation has grown in many areas and that is going to continue with our Quartly Communion on January 22nd and a memorial service and brunch at the club following 8:30 Mass. On the 29th of January we will have a
Blood Drive from 1 to 4 o’clock in the afternoon with a light lunch and juice being offered so please
support these functions. Also we have three Prayer meetings this month and they last only 45
minutes and you walk away with a good feeling spiritually. You just need to show up at 7pm every
other Tuesday starting on January 3rd.
With the length of time between 1st degree’s we have decided to start our own degree team and the
first practice is January 7th and will last only 1 hour and every practice we have after that so if you
could help with this project please show up on the 7th.
The Bartenders have started selling horses for the Knight at the Races on February 25th again we will
only sell 8 races with 10 horses each race with the last Race being an Auction race with the winner
takes half the money from the auction, last years winner won 1,700 dollars so please don’t wait to get
a horse we sold out real fast last year and expect it too sell that fast this year.
