Grand Knight Report: We finished a very busy month. There was Highway cleanup, two Fish Fries, Holy Week, Easter, Tootsie Roll Drive, State Convention just to mention a few. Thank you to all who helped this past month. We could have used a lot more help on the Tootsie Roll Drive but all in all it was a very successful month. There will be leftover fish for sale at the May meeting. Only at the meeting, no emails!
At the May meeting we will hold Officer Elections. Also in May we will award the three scholarships.
