Our Next Meeting is Tuesday November 13th at 7:00 pm


Grand Knight Report: 
We had a great turnout of nearly 60 people at our Columbus Day Dinner including our State Secretary, Tim Guski and his lady, Angie. Lisa Frank spoke on the birth to three program, Brad Beckman explained how our donation was spent at the aging and disability resource center and Katie Struble spoke on the progress and needs of the NR Special Olympics. We also had a special visit from Stacie Gomez, who thanked the Knights for the donation making a special wheel chair possible for her son, this donation originated from the state charity fund. Thank you to all who attended and helped with the setup.  Doug Mills manned the bar and had his first experience at creating masterpieces. Our special guests were Fr. Brinkman and Fr. Fraher.

Memorial Mass:

Immediately following our meeting this month we will hold our annual Memorial Mass for our deceased Brother Knights, please plan to attend this very special event. This will be led by our Worthy Chaplain, Fr. James Brinkman.

1st, 2nd and 3rd Degree Exemplification:

We had no candidates advancing to the 2nd or 3rd degree, I encourage all of you knights who have not yet reached the 3rd degree to consider this in the future.
