Joseph B. Cavallaro Council #4884 Knights of Columbus SEPTEMBER 2015 S.K. Robert Toigo, PGK-FDD Grand Knight Carl Bartolotti, P.G.K., Editor Newsletter@CavallaroCouncil.com Web Master Mike A. Nuccio, www.cavallarocouncil.com GRAND KNIGHT S MESSAGE Brother Knights, Summer is close to being over and we prepare for a busy Fall Season starting now. By the time you read this, the Annual Summer Degree will have taken place, and I trust it was a great success. It is the duty of every member to try and recruit new members to insure the success of the Council and the Order. Keep a Form 100 with you at all times for this reason. Our Heartshare/Council Annual Picnic was a great success! Congratulations to Brother Fred Manzola and his Committee for a job well done. The weather was picture perfect, the kids had lots of fun, and there was more than enough food to go around. There was a bounce house for the kids to play in, water pistols, water balloons, slip and slides, and they made use of all of these to enjoy the day. Thanks also to all the Members and Families who showed up early in the morning to get everything set up, cook, clean, and basically make sure a great time was had by all. Next on the agenda, is our Installation of Officers on Tuesday, September 8 th at the September Business Meeting. All Officers should be there no later than 7 P.M. to prepare and get Robed for the Ceremony. Please do not forget the PGK Anthony Corso Testimonial Dinner on Saturday Oct. 24th. Tony did a great job under difficult circumstances and deserves a great turnout. For Tickets, contact PGK Carl Bartolotti. Hoping everyone had a great summer. Fraternally, Robert L. Toigo, PGK-FDD Grand Knight We Shall Never Forget 9/11/01
