GUIDEPOST
Grand Knights Message
Greetings Knights and ladies. The Concertina Bowl was held after last months Guidepost went to press. The results were good, as over 500 Customers came and enjoyed some good concertina music.
The 2 nd Sunday Breakfast the council tried out a new pork sausage instead of ham and the results were good. We also earmarked the profits of the breakfast to go to the St. Tim’s roof repair project. That seemed to bring in more people after mass.
Many thanks to Art Ohotto, who put many hours into the Concertina Bowl and the many volunteers who worked the above two activities.
Congratulations to Gary Exley who was initiated into the Knights of Columbus February 12 th at the Anoka KC Hall. Let’s make him welcome.
March there will be five fish fries. This is our major fundraiser for the year. If you prefer not to work please come and enjoy a good meal.
Yours in Christ
