MESSAGE FROM THE GRAND KNIGHT

            Happy New Year!!  I wish you and your family the very best in 2020!  Thanks to the KC members and the Ladies Auxiliary members who decorated the KC Hall for Christmas.  It looked great!  We had a great turnout for our Christmas Party and a good time was had by all!  Thanks to everyone who helped make it a success.  We will be hosting the first ever cornhole state tournament and the Valentine’s Dance will be held on February 15.  Our Lenten Fish Fries will begin February 28.  Please consider volunteering your time and help at these events.  Much help is needed to make them a success!  Together we can make it happen.
