Last fall, during the Columbus Day weekend of October 9 - 11, our council particpated in our Mentally Impaired
Tootsie Roll Drive. Our Brother Knights once again braved the weather elements
and collected over $4,300.00. On Friday, January 29, 2010, those monies were distributed to the following local
charities: Lee Homes, SCAMP, ARC of Oakland, Advance Teaching Concepts,
H.V.S. Department of Mentally Impaired, and the Special Olympics. Food and refreshments
were also served. A special thank-you to Harley Thome for chairing last falls'
fund raiser and passing out the checks. Also a special thanks to Bill, his wife Chris, Gus, John
and his wife Barbara, and Rob for setting up the church hall and providing the food
and beverages and clean-up. This fund raiser will remain now in the fall.
Pancake Breakfast
On Sunday, January 3, our Council
hosted a Pancake Breakfast after the 8:00am and 10:00am masses. We
served pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuts and gravy, fruit cocktail and beverages to
nearly 140 paying customers. Breakfast was served after the 8:00 and 10:00 am masses.
Proceeds from this breakfast will be donated to the "Lakes Area Right to Life".
A special thank-you to Ken Gregory for chairing the event and to all the Brother Knights
for helping out. We also appreciate St. Mary's Youth Group for helping us serve
breakfast and with the clean-up. Thanks so much.
