46th Annual Concertina Bowl
Was on January 25th. Paying customers were down from 2024. However, we had 301 dancers and musicians come on a nice day. They had a wonderful time socializing and enjoyed the Polish & Roast Beef. Many thanks to many KC members who helped with the Dance floor, Door Guards, and in the Kitchen serving food. Also, thank you to the one Ladies Auxiliary and CCW member who pitched in for one shift. January 2026 will be the 47th Annual.

Lenten Fish Fries
Fish Fries have begun, but a lot of help is still needed to make it a success. We need servers, cooks, dish washers, help with set-up in afternoons, clean-up mornings after, and even a few sit down jobs like counting or selling raffle tickets. Fish Fries run every Friday February 28th through April 11th. If you are available for any or weeks, need specific time of shift please contact Jeremy.

SAVE THE DATE
Spring Steak/Chicken Fry will be on April 10th, due to our regular 3rd Thursday membership meeting being on Holy Thursday. Watch the April Guidepost for final details.

You will be receiving a fundraiser letter along with a couple of Knight Foundation raffle tickets in January.
