can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be

Letter from the Grand Knight
My Brother Knights,
The end of this year is fast
approaching, and to date we have accomplished
some noteworthy achievements. Starting with the beginning of Spring, Jeff
Leskosky’s leadership led the Council to another successful drive for the Pennsylvania
Association of Retarded Citizens.
Despite the bad economic times we were able to match our donation of
2008. During the last days of August the Councils participation in the Palmer
Community Weekend proved a success notwithstanding the terrible weather
which caused multiple problems (rain, mud, electrical malfunctions etc.). My
sincere thanks to all.
The Family picnic scheduled for September 27, came to an abrupt halt due
in part again to the rain. The event was not rescheduled due to the early arrival
of fall weather. Next year we will look to schedule it earlier in the summer
with
hopes that more families might take part.
The next successful event, the Second Annual Spaghetti Dinner, hosted in
October suffered some economic set-back but was still able to be profitable.
Our
quasi Italian Chefs (Raffert’io, Katz’io, Beat’io, Evanch’io, Hane’io, Gualan’io
and the rest of the ’io brothers ) were at the helm of the spaghetti pots,
sauce, meatballs, bread and salad. Oops also desert. My thanks again
to all.
Jim Szoszorek chairing the COAL Campaign and Walter Evancho with the
Football Frenzy Tickets, both doggedly increased our profits over last year
for
each of these fundraisers.
Frank Gualano’s “Keep Christ in Christmas” card sales will be ending with
final sales at St. Jane’s on one of the last weekends in November. The new
selection
of cards met favorably during this years sales and a nice profit
is anticipated.
The final big event of the year will take place on Saturday, December 12,
2009. the Knights of Columbus Annual Kiddy Christmas Party will be held at
Father Farrell Hall from 2:00 p.m. till 4:00 p.m., due in part by the anticipated
size of this years guests and families.
Thank you all for your support this past year. Mary and I extend our sincere
wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
May the Blessings of Almighty God be with you and your Family throughout
the year.
Vivat Jesus,
Brother Bill

Union Council 345 goes back one-hundred and ten years
in the City of Easton and has a distinguished record of service to both
our catholic parishes and our community. On the most part, the men who
make up Union Council 345 today have lived in Easton most of their
lives. We have seen a great deal of growth and changes to Easton and
its Catholic parishes over the last two decades. We invite all Catholic
men in the Easton area to join our council and become Knights.
