With the loss of our Bingo we have no money coming in at this time for charity work. 

We have gained 9 members from Wawa due to their closing of Council 4920 which brings our total membership to 62. My main goal again this coming year would be to increase membership with another 5 members.  If any of you have a relative or a friend that you think would enjoy becoming a member, talk to them about what the Knights do in their parishes and community.  Pass the persons name to our Membership Director . Always carry a Form 100 to have in case you contact someone who is interested.  There are a lot of parishioners that don't know what the Knights really do.  A word of mouth and a positive attitude can do a lot to promote our organization.
