The benefit auction held on March 9th was once again a huge success. A donation of $21,000 was made to St. Francis/Holy
Ghost School from the K of C. A big thanks goes to Pete & Pam Madson for chairing this event and to everyone on your
committee. Also thank you to everyone that made the donations that you did. Lastly a thank you to all that purchased tickets,
it was your generous spending that raised this amount of money.
************************************************************************
Don't forget that we sponsor two K of C Scholarships. The applications can be picked up at the club. Scholarships are for a
graduating high school senior. The senior’s (son/daughter) father must be a member in good standing. Deadline for the
completed essay is May 15th. We have lost some of the business support that helped fund the 3rd scholarship in the past. If
you or your business would like to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated.

with the Early Bird Game starting at 6:50. Over the past year we have had a decline in our work force. If there were anyway
possible that you could volunteer a few times a year, the work rotation would become much easier on everyone. If you could be
