| CONGRATULATIONS TO KNIGHTS OF THE MONTH DICK MARSHALL & FRANK KOSMACH! These gentlemen planned and organized another successful pancake breakfast. They have been leaders for many years for this event and other KC activities. We owe them a huge "thank you!" Next year Frank and Dick would like to transition the breakfast to a new dynamic duo... They will stay on for another year to train the new folks and to make sure everything goes as planned. This is a great opportunity to help our council. Please talk to Frank, Dick or me if interested. | ||||||||
