GRAND KNIGHT‘S MESSAGE
Brother Knights,
Winter is finally drawing to a close, and
Spring will be upon us before we know it. On
April 23rd The Councils Annual Dinner and
Dance will take place. This year’s event will be
chaired by DGK Ed McGibbon. The cost is
$75.00 pp. There is a new Venue this year.
The event will be held at Gennaro’s Catering
Hall on the corner of 13th Avenue & 66th Street.
As usual, there will be lots of food and drink, Raffles, a
50/50 Drawing, and a general good time to be had by all.
Please make every effort to attend this, as the Committee
has worked very hard to make this a success.
The members of the Council will be selling Palm
Crosses on March 13th & March 20th in front of St.
Athanasius and St. Dominic’s Churches. Please support
this fundraiser.
Also in April, our Columbiettes will be hosting their
Annual 4 Seasons Card Party in the Council Chambers at
7:30 P.M. This is their Major Fundraiser for the year, and
it is always a sellout. Contact Chairperson Linda Scalici at
718-256-7731 or JoAnne Toigo at 718-376-8025 for
tickets. Don't get Shut Out!!!! Ticket price includes Food,
Soda, Coffee, and Dessert.
In Conclusion, both JoAnne and I would like to wish
each and every one a Happy and Blessed Easter.
Fraternally,
Robert L. Toigo, PGK-FDD
