I have been blessed with a wonderful family that love and support me through all my travels in life. I can not imagine life without all of you! I am also blessed to be Grand Knight of a great council. I always knew our council was special in my heart. I am so happy to be a part of St. Ambrose council for many years and proud of all our members. I never really understood the full impact of our council and the dedication of our members until I attended the New York State Council Convention last April as a delegate of St. Ambrose Council. Our council has an incredible reputation within our state and an outstanding level of respect all over the state. This is through the many years of hard work and dedication of our members. I had the pleasure of meeting so many brothers from all over the state. I never knew how powerful our state council is and how much great work they do. I was honored to meet and take a picture with Supreme Advocate John Marrella and Supreme Director Arthur Harris. The best part of all of this was representing all of you! I am so proud of all of you and the great work that you do for our council and especially our church. I am truly blessed!!! As always may God Bless all of you and your family! Vivat Jesus! Grand Knight Al Rocco CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to the following Brothers who were named Knight of the Month by Grand Knight Al Rocco: FEBRUARY PAUL DISPENSA - for your work on the Free Throw Contest MARCH - John Tie - for your constant support to the council APRIL - Emido Rocky Farone - for your constant support to the council

If you have not done so, you can always bring them down on meeting night and I'll take them down for you since I have to attend the monthly meeting of the Chapter. You can also drop them in our mail box and I will take them in the morning when I am in the council. Thank you for your cooperation.
