Cathedral of St John Berchmans K of C Council 10728 December Newsletter Grand Knight Wow! What a November! After a fun-filled and very active October. It was great to see so many Brother Knights and their families at Rotolo's. It was a chilly night outside but the warmth shared by the brothers made the night a very pleasant one indeed. I am continually astounded by the energy and enthusiasm exhibited in this council and I am so appreciative to all of you for allowing me to serve as your Grand Knight. If I have one half of the energy I see from you, I will be successful. Thank you ! Thank you. !
