 Activities Survey:  As a member of this council, you are our greatest asset. We value your judgment, we appreciate your opinions, and we rely on your participation for continued success. Since joining the Knights of Columbus, you have undoubtedly become familiar with many of our varied programs of involvement — programs where you can personally apply your talents and fulfill your ambitions. In an effort to satisfy your desires and interests, we ask that you complete the following survey and return it by mail or bring it it to the Bishop Ireton Center. Download a copy now.  Your opinions are welcomed.

Bingo Workers:  Are desperately needed by your council. As you may have read elsewhere in this newsletter your Council donated $94,000 to charity this past year. Although there are almost 300 members of this council only about 25% of the membership volunteer for bingo or kitchen bingo. We need your help. It's only one night every 5 weeks in a smoke fee environment. Many teams are in dire need of help. Please volunteer for a team by calling GK Rick Brennan and volunteering. You only have to work one Wednesday evening every five weeks. It's great fellowship and a lot of fun. Husband and wife teams are encouraged to participate in this smoke free environment. Remember this is how your council earns the money to support all of our charities.  The Bingo and Kitchen Schedule for 2007 has been posted.  (Click Here)
