| KNIGHTS OF THE MONTH – Rick Maier and Ron Gundrum – These men play a very important role in our council. This past year, they coordinated the firewood project that amounted to nearly $2,500.00 in direct income in addition to saving the parish significant expense. Both Rick and Ron are in leadership roles on the bowling tournament committee. They, along with their spouses, Lori and Kathy, support our school, council and community in many ways. Congratulations Rick and Ron! | ||||||||

| APRIL 15TH IS JUST AROUNFD THE CORNER - It's become popular this time of year to encourage the opening of an IRA or similar retirement annuity, or the depositing of additional funds into an existing account, as a tax savings vehicle. With the Knights of Columbus, you can open a retirement annuity for as little as $300. Contact Dennis O'Connell, FICF, at (800)795-4287 or dennis.o'connell@kofc.org. | ||||||||

| KC ANNUAL TOOTSIE ROLL DRIVE will be held May 2-4, the warmest weekend we could find! Providing assistance to agencies that aid families with disabilities champions our principle of charity to those most in need. Please consider a donation of $5.00, the cost of a raffle ticket. If you can help for a few hours that weekend, please call Jim Bardenwerper or Fred Riederer . Pope Benedict's recent intention supports our efforts, "That the mentally handicapped may not be marginalized but respected and lovingly helped to live in a way worthy of their physical and social condition." | ||||||||
