Brother
Knights,
This month I think I share the thought with you that we
hopefully have seen the last of snow. We are quite busy planning
for future events. Upcoming events include a Membership Drive at Holy Cross on March 20-21. We will also be
having a Night at the
Races at the Hertlin House on April 17th. In the
near future we are planning a Blood
Drive, a Wine Tasting Party, and a Communion
Breakfast for the Knights in our council. These events will
take place in future months but we are in the planning stages
now. We hope you will join us for these events. We could use your
help in the planning or the actual event itself. Remember, any
time you can give for these events would be greatly appreciated.
We were also planning to have a Country
Western Square Dance at St. Elizabeth Parish. Father Dan
wrote me a letter asking for our help in purchasing a
defibrillator for the church. He asked me to go to the monthly
meeting of the fundraising committee to present our idea of a
Square Dance. I did that and the fundraising committee reacted
very positively to the idea. I left that meeting with the
agreement with Joe DelBroccolo, the chairman, that our council
would get started making preparations. One week later I was
informed by our FS Al Yoli that the event was taken away from us
and given to the Youth Group to run. When I called Mr.
DelBroccolo he told me that they were doing this “for the
children”. This is
not the first time that our council has been shut out of an event
that had been planned. It has happened with the past two Grand
knights also. I think this will require further discussion at our
meetings.
VIVAT
JESUS
Fraternally,
Jerry
Pisapia, Grand Knight
