Dear friends and family of the Knights of Columbus

Happy belated fathers day to all the

fathers of the Knights of Columbus. Hope you had a great day. Would like to thank all the Burger and Tinker meal crews. We really appreciate all of your hard work and your time. Thank you to Tim Kearns and his crew for an excellent steak fry this month. It was a great meal and an excellent turn out. Look forward to the next one. Thank you to the Women' s Auxiliary for decorating for the Special Olympics dance that was held at the club this month. The room looked great. Also thank you to everyone that was there the night of the event that helped cheer for the athletes as they arrived. That was a very special moment and we brought a smile to the faces of the athletes and parents. All who were involved deserve a pat on the back for everything, you did a great thing.....

I invite everyone to attend a Knights of Columbus meeting @ 6:00 on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month. Our Columbi-an Homes meeting is the 1st Thursday of the month following the Knights of Columbus meeting. Would like to see more members at the meeting and new members as well. We are always looking for ideas and people to help with different events so please stop in, share your ideas and help the Knights of Columbus shine.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Have a safe and fun 4th of July. I look forward to seeing you all down at the club or at a meeting. Thank you for taking your time to read this report. May these notes find you healthy and happy and may God bless us all.

Sincerely your Grand Knight Tony

A NEW CHALLENGE Dan Carmany threw out a challenge that he would match the first 200 lbs

donated. That goal has been more than reached. So now let us challenge

ourselves to more than match the combined total of 400 pounds donated by coming up with another 400 pounds in donations. If every member's family would contribute 5 pounds of food or

toiletries here at the club we would more than reach this goal.

"JUST DO IT"
