Grand Knight's Message

Brother Knights,
As you can see above, our spring calendar is starting to build, starting with one of our most important and most overlooked event, the Support the Military program which we participate in with other area Councils. Our commitment is to participate in the 10:00 am Mass every 4th Sunday of each even month (February, April, June, August, October, December). Please reply to this email with your comments or questions pertaining to our support to our most deserving members of the military. Our next commitment is on February 23.
We are now planning our next council event, the Blood Drive on Sunday March 8 with sign up times starting at 8:30 am through 1:30 pm. We'll need a few brothers to help setup the room on the day before, Saturday before the 5 pm Mass. If you can join us at about 4 PM to setup the tables and chairs, this would be greatly appreciated.
Our following event will be St. Joseph's Feast Pasta Dinner, on March 28 after the 5 pm vigil Mass. We will require help to setup the room, serve the food and clear and take down the tables and chairs. Stay tuned for more information and ticket prices which will be available in the lobby of the church during the month of March.
We are working on survey questions which will be emailed as soon as we have it completed. Please look for it in you inbox and reply to it as soon as possible so that we can take your input into account as we develop our strategy for council revitalization.
Vivat Jesu,
Vincent Scafuto
