As the kids head back to school, I look back, & feel it was a wonderful summer. I want to say thank you to those who participated in our semiannual Adopt-a-Street cleanup. A special thanks to PGK Barry Clark, who has stayed on top of this for many years. A fun and productive day. If you ve been around recently, you might have noticed that there have been some changes. The Columbian Club is completing the replacement of the fence behind the hall. Also, they have had a new pad of concrete poured next to the picnic area. Thanks to the Club for keeping us looking great. I would like to thank our young volunteers Mike Wood, & Thomas Carmody for assisting me in cleaning up the council shed, and organizing it. Please keep it clean and organized, so that we know what we have available for future events. Also thank you to PGK Woody Holmes, PGK Joe Hurd, Chris Klotz, & Pat Kavanaugh for cleaning up to the kitchen closet. Thank you. We are looking into bringing back the Columbian Squires program. The Squires is an international fraternity, ages 10 to 18. Local Knights of Columbus councils and assemblies sponsor Squire circles, which may be based either in a council/assembly hall, in a parish building, a parochial, private, public or military school, or on a military installation. The Squires involves young men in programs to benefit the Church, the community, as well as in recreational and social activities. If anyone would like more information, please let me know, and I will be glad to provide it to you when I receive it from the State Council. We have a lot of great events coming up. The 1980 s party, the Monkey Bottom, Sunday Breakfasts. I look forward to seeing you enjoying yourselves at the events. Vivat Jesus! J.P.
