Thanks to all who helped to make it a successful event. Since the weather will be improving, we can always use additional help with the breakfasts. Even a couple of hours would be helpful, especially during the startup or the cleanup times. We have three breakfasts remaining until the summer break. The dates are March 11th, April 8th, and May 13th. Be sure to mark your calendars. Our 5th Sunday Rosary is scheduled for April 29th. The location TBA. Since we sold our building in May 2017, we have started to settle in at Good Shepard. The school has allowed us to conduct our monthly breakfasts at their facility. During this transition, the reality board is still in the process of looking for a building. They are also looking at the option of locating property and having plans for a new building drawn up for approval. Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday with the officers meeting on the 4th Monday. Both meetings start a 7P.M. We try to finish up by 8:15P.M. With the weather getting better, it would be great to fill up our meeting room each meeting. With your help and support this year can be a great year for our council. My term as is fast approaching the end. If you would like to run for an office for next year, please let us know. If you happen to be behind in dues and want to get current please contact Bob Lynch at financialsecretary@kofc3660.com or call me.
