May 2023
Brothers,
May is here and Spring has certainly sprung! After all the wet weather we have had it will be nice to start enjoying the outdoors and begin gearing up for our “BBQ season”. I would like to shout out the Columbian Club and their building improvement committee and their vision and follow through of upgrading the back “deck”. If you have not already seen it, the deck is now more a slab and it looks great! Thank you for upgrading this space.
Our Tootsie Roll drive was held the weekend of April 22 and 23rd at St. Al’s and St. Veronica's and was again a success. Thank you to Frank and Lou for running the tootsie roll drive this year.
Last night St. Monica’s hosted another CUF degree where 13 brothers joined the order via one of 3 councils represented. It is always nice to see our organization grow. Thank you to those brothers who came out in support.
The rescheduled Past Grand Knights, Past Columbian Club President, Past Ladies Auxiliary President dinner will be this Sunday May 7th. This is going to be a great time to celebrate the leaders of the 2021-2022 Columbian year.

The dates and locations are posted online and are entered in the Knights of Columbus Google Calendar. Any questions can be directed to Golf Director, and Past Grand Knight Steve Stazko.
The next blood drive will be held here at the council on Monday Jun 26, 2023 from 1pm to 7pm. Information to sign up can be found on the board outside or on the website.
