"Congratulations"- to our council’s spelling bee winners that went on to win 1st and 2nd. place at the State Knights of Columbus competition.  St Rose Academy student Rriyanda Ray was the State 1st Place winner and East Hanover Middle School student Karen Gu was the State 2nd place winner.  "Congratulations to both!"
Congratulations to Brothers Fred Fischer and Al Macey, who, by the time you read this would have made their 3rd degree on April 27, 2012.
Please be sure to see or call PGKs Tony Giuliano or Ron Angelo for SUPER 50/50 Raffle TICKETS.  Brothers, we need all of you buy tickets or sell them for your council.  The cost is $20.00 and there will only be 300 tickets sold.   June 16th is arriving very quickly.  Get your tickets now!!  If everyone in the council bought tickets we would not have to rely on trying to sell them outside our council.  Let’s make the raffle a grand success!!!!

Thank you - to all the brothers that volunteered the weekend we collected for the Children with special Needs.  Co chairs PGK Tony Giuliano and Fred Donatelli did an outstanding job.  As you know we did get rained out on Sunday, nonetheless this event was a huge success Because of all our Brother Knights that participated and I commend all who volunteered.  Tabulations are still going on and will be reported in the future.

Our Council is planning a bus ride to the 911 Memorial in New York City on Sunday May 20th 2012.  The bus will leave St Rose at 3:30 pm and return approximately 8:30 pm.  The cost is $25.00 per person with water and a snack provided on the way home.  After the 911 Memorial visit, the bus will bring us to the South Street Sea Port for a few hours of free time and relaxation.  Please call - Chairman Frank Manno for reservations.  THE BUS IS SELLING OUT QUICKLY!!!

Any Brother that would like to take part in the East Hanover Memorial Day Parade, please arrive behind the church at 9:15 am on Monday May 28th, 2012.   The dress will be tuxedos for 4th degree members and jackets and ties for 3rd degree members.
