End Of Month Recap - October

Hello Brother Knights!

(and other people potentially reading this)

We’ve had a busy and successful stretch lately, and there’s plenty more coming up as we move into the holiday season. Here’s a quick look back — and a look ahead — at what’s happening with our council.

Golf Outing: A Great Success!

Our annual Golf Outing was a fantastic success, bringing in a profit of $3,248.48 for the council! A big thank-you and congratulations to Brother Kevin for stepping up and organizing this year’s event — a great first year leading the effort. 

Raffle Recap

The raffle ticket sales have been tallied (more or less!) and we’re estimating around $1,300–$1,500 raised. By "we're" I mean "me" because I forgot to write down the exact amount. Thank you to everyone who helped sell, promote, and support this effort. Every bit helps fund our charitable work throughout the parish and community.
