Busy Week for the Council


Indeed it was a busy week at the Council Hall.  In addition to Mr. Michael Fleischbein's presentation on Thursday (see previous post), we had our annual Council oyster roast on Sunday, 28 February. We had about 20 in attendance Thursday night and almost 50 on Sunday for the oyster roast. A huge thank you to Brother Gonz for hosting both events. Special thanks also to Grand Knight Steve Mendoza, Brother Knights Fred Leyda, Robert Songco, Robert Cooler, Mike Giese and Gonz' friend Edgar Dalan who helped with the heavy lifting to make the oyster roast a huge success. Also a special thanks to all of the Sister Columbiettes for their support, bringing extra dishes and desserts and especially to Sisters Dolores Brown and Kathy Gallagher who took care of the finances. We made a profit of $377.73 which will be used for the annual Easter Egg Hunt in March. For more pictures of these events, follow this link.

Guest Speaker

During our last social meeting on 25 February, Mr. Michael Fleischbein gave an inspirational talk on his parents and the holocaust.  I've placed a video file of it here in case you missed it.  Enjoy, God Bless, Vivat Jesus.
