LAST MONTH’S ACTIVITIES UP-DATE:
Our open meeting on the 8thof September where we installed our new officers, went very well.The DD did an outstanding job.Our pancake breakfast on the 20thturned out a little sparse, but we did feed 5 policemen and 6 firefighters, we had to feed the firefighters twice because they got a call just as they sat down.The pot luck was good, but we could use a few more people.The spaghetti dinner was good but could have been better, hopefully the one this month will improve.We need volunteers so we can move forward with our projects to maintain our status in the community.At the school carnival we had an abundance of help, the ladies beat us again with the hot dog sales, and a good time was had by all.
UP COMING ACTIVITIES:
This month we have another spaghetti dinner and it is on the 25thof October, and we need as many Knights and the Ladies and friends to turn out.This spaghetti dinner is for our Corporation so that we can repay some more of the money we borrowed from the Knights to repair the floor.
