Brother Knights,
Our Latest Blood Drive, held last Sunday, March 8 was another great success.
I would like to thank PGK Patrick Noonan, Brs. Harley Juthe and John Fus, the ladies of the CCW that so graciously donated their time and treasure to provide us with delectable home made cakes, cookies and muffins. Thank you ladies for another great effort!
Thanks as well to all those who donated blood, we collected 35 pints from 34 people - a few below quota of 40 - some people gave double red.
March 11, 7 PM: I hope to see as many of you as possible, Father Brian, our Council Chaplain and Church of the Blessed Sacrament Pastor invited us to attend a Parish Mission. All Knights are encouraged to attend. This event will be held in instead of our Council Meeting, on Wednesday, March 11 Starting 7:00 PM.
