| KC 35th ANNIVERSARY Brunch went great with about 65 attendees at Rex's on April 15th. State of Wisconsin KC's were represented by Tim Genthe, State Advocate, who talked about the importance of the organization – 125 years ago and today. The meaning of our Charter was described by Bob Zellner; Jim Tillman talked about our past; and Hank Kruschek gave us something more to smile about. Charter members attending were recognized, and John Andrewjeski was recognized with the "Lifetime Achievement Award". During the meeting we viewed the over 650 picture slide show comprised of photos from our 35 year history! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| NOTE FROM District Deputy BILL BROSIUS; As we near the end of the Fraternal year, we start the process of nominations and elections of new officers. For some it is an exciting time - for others it maybe a bit scary. There are many brother knights when approached say they could never be an officer, but I disagree. We have elections every year is to keep the program alive with new ideas, fresh thoughts and new excitement. It is not difficult to be an officer, but once you have served your term, you will find it one of the most rewarding things you have done for yourself – and the KC's. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
