I want to again, bring to your attention the Parish Picnic and 50th Anniversary Celebration, we will be supporting the parish by providing labor to setup the coffee station, sell the 50/50 raffle tickets, man the KofC Council 5959 Ministry Table, as well as donate gift cards and as items for the basket raffle. On the same date, we will also be participating on the Chain for Life in Somerville, see below for more information on this event.

Larry , it was our pleasure to host both you and Paul. I am truly amazed at your dedication and the services you provide for the athletes. Our council will continue its fund raising efforts to financially assist organizations like Special Olympics. We look forward to our Spring Plant sale, perhaps we could advertise in your news letter to raise awareness. Thank you and wishing a Blessed year.
