Grand Knight Report
Happy New Year! My hope & prayer is that we have a much better year ahead and are able to put the Covid-19 behind us this coming year. As comes with the new year so does change. Here at the KC hall we are making a few changes for the meetings. First: We will be having the meetings back upstairs so we are better able to social distance. Second: Upon entering the building, you are required to wear a mask during the meeting unless speaking to the group. If you feel more comfortable, you may join us on Zoom, as we will also have that option available.

We had an Exemplification on Saturday January 2nd at Immaculate Conception Church after the 5:pm mass. What a beautiful ceremony it was. We gained 5 new members. I want to welcome to the council Jacob Fansler, Noah Rud, Russel Kilian, Maxwell Lilla, and Cole Effertz. Congratulations and welcome to council 2845. We are happy that you joined.
A big THANK YOU to the team members who helped with exemplification, Don Schoenherr, Doug Mills, Tony Kilian, Shawn Fox, Ed Zimmerman, Miles Casey, and last but not least Fr. John. What a great job done by all.
