Thanks to Scott Solak and John Usher for stepping forward and chairing the Lenten Fish Fry this year. It, however, will not fly unless they have helpers to assist with this event. There is a sign up sheet in the Club Room describing the areas that help will be needed. Please become involved.  This is one of the largest money making events. We can not afford to lose it. Again thanks to the past crew who over the years made this a successful venture.

Our Adult and Children's Christmas parties were enjoyed by all in attendance. Thanks to the brothers and ladies who donated their time and talents.

The ladies in the D of I prepared the Christmas Food and Toy Baskets once again this year. A total of 33 baskets furnishing 68 adults and 58 children with food, personal items and toys. Thanks Gals.

There is a Corporate Communion Mass scheduled for Sunday February 19th at St. Margaret’s of Scotland, 10:00am Mass.  It will be followed by a continental breakfast in the parish hall. This also involves a membership BLITZ to recruit new members. We will need brothers to distribute K of C info at the 4:00pm Mass on Saturday and the 8:00am, 10:00am and 12noon Mass on Sunday. Contact Russ Kreinbring or Joe Surmont if you are able to help.

The Fourth Degree has a Texas Hold-Em coming up February 15-18. Last year their donations to the Council from this event surpassed any fund raisers in recent years. The least we can do is to once again assist them. If you are able to help contact Russ or Paula Kreinbring.

Well it happened. The first Incentive Drawing took place at the January 11th General Membership Meeting. The lucky number (or unlucky number) drawn was 314. Now if Christopher Pauwels was present he would have gone home with $25.00. Next months drawing will be for $50.00.

Thank you to every one in the Council for your support in assisting with functions and building projects. Just as a reminder, our Building Board Pres. John Zelmanski reported at the last meeting, it took over $400 a day to maintain our building and grounds last year.

With the help of the Lord and Fr. Solanus I remain your G.K. - TOM
