 GRAND KNIGHTS CORNER
                                                              
Dear Brother Knights and Sister Columbiettes;
   I can feel how everyone is ready for some spring or summer weather, well the good news is that winter will not last forever and Easter is just around the corner.  Soon we will be outdoors enjoying cookouts and picnics with our families and friends.  I and my officers wish all our members and their families a Happy and Healthy Easter.

During Lent, St. Anthony's Church conducts the Stations of the Cross at 7pm on Friday.  Each week an organization is responsible for leading the Stations.  Brothers please try and make it a point to attend, it does not take long to say the Stations maybe a half-hour.  So during Lent it shouldn't be too hard to sacrifice and attend.

We have a few things going on this April, please mark your calendars, we need your support.  April 10, KofC breakfast, April 12 our regular meeting and a first degree, April 14 Fish Fry, April 23 Kids Easter party, April 28 Ziti Dinner, and time again for People with Disabilities Drive April 29, 30 and May 1st.  Now you see how we need everybody's help and support.  I say thank you on behalf of your Officers and Grand Knight, God Bless All.

The Sheet to sign up for the People with Disabilities Drive will be out soon, please come around and choose your hour or hours that you will like to serve.

On April 26, our second meeting of the month will be a social meeting, you can bring along family or friends and make this night a good social night.

We are in need of officers for the Council.  If you are interested let us know.  Elections will be coming up soon.

                                             Fraternally yours,
                                                Rey Sandoval
