July 28 —————— Harold and Janice Olnhausen, July 7 Will and Dana Gunn, July 8 Ed and Sue McGowan, July 22 Buddy and Pat McDowell, July 26 GREETINGS Knights, As I begin my first term as your Grand Knight, I would like us all to reflect. In this time, when Christians are being persecuted world wide, I believe it is an honor and blessing to be a Knight of Columbus. The KC set a new alltime record last year with over $175M in donations and more than 73.5 million hours of service. The numbers were announced at the annual Organizational Meeting of State Deputies in New Haven. We should be proud of the work we do, and yet remain humble in service, and for the blessing to be able to serve. I look forward to serving you as Grand Knight.
