Happy New Year to my Brothers and their families:
The Christmas Tree lighting at town hall, was as usual a great event. With Santa giving out gifts to the children supplied by the Knights, and The Knights giving out hot chocolate and cookies, a good time was had by all.
Thanks to chairman and PGK Rich Truzzalino and all the brothers that volunteered.
Thanks to chairman and brother George Lavecchia for a great afternoon in New York City for our annual trip to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas Tree. The weather could not have been better, the bus comfortable and the hot chocolate and cookies on the way home was a real treat.
Our annual Christmas Party was attended by forty plus brothers who enjoyed a night of good food, drinks and camaraderie. Special thanks to all the brothers that made this enjoyable night possible especially PGKS Tony Giuliano, Rich Truzzalino, Ron Angelo and DGK Chris Virginio and brother Fred Fischer.
As we begin the New Year, let us go forward remembering the four principles of our order Charity, Fraternity, Unity and Patriotism and strive to help our council with the very ambitious second half of the fraternal year. Make it a point to volunteer and get involved so that we can continue to do charitable works for the order, our parish and our community. As our second principle declares, there is power in unity. We cannot accomplish our goals without the help of our members. Please consider getting involved in one of our many projects. Some of the events our council is planning:
- Dine around will be held January 15, 2012 at 2:00 pm. Cut off Jan. 10th.
- Spelling Bee February 2012 Details to follow
- Wives Appreciation Night Saturday February 11th at 7:00 pm Ravello’s Restaurant with music by “MARK AND TED”
- Annual Pancake Breakfast Sunday March 4, 2011
- St Patrick’s Day Dinner Saturday March 17th at 7:00 pm
- April 19 to April 22 Children with Special Needs Weekend
- Committee to present slate of officers for the 2012-2013 fraternal year

Wishing you and your family a healthy and blessed New Year, I remain,
Fraternally yours,
Joe Pasquarosa
