East Hanover Knights of Columbus, Council 6504
Grand Knight's Message for February, 2012

Dear Brothers: Thanks to all who came to the call out for the Memorial Mass for Sister Delores. It was a very emotional, touching service, befitting for such a wonderful person. May she rest in peace.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the turkey shoot. PGK and Chairman Ron Angelo reported we gave over $250 to the food pantry in the form of Shop Rite Gift Cards and $100 to a needy family in our parish. This is what we are all about in trying to make others a little happier by our good works. Well done! Special thanks to Brother Neale Baxter who sold the most!

PGK Tony Giuliano reports the “dine around” for our council was a big hit. It was attended by 11 couples and all had a great time.

Brother George LaVecchia is planning another bus trip to Harrah’s on Sunday March 4, 2012. The price is $25.00 refreshments will be served on the bus. Please contact George if interested.

Brother Greg Donofrio is hard at work with his committee and the Paterson Federation as well at the State Council in spearheading the evangelism message of Fr. Gino. Brother Greg will keep us informed as to any help he may require. Great Job,Greg!
