Scholarship Awards: Thanks to all the students who submitted a record amount of applications. The committee had an extremely difficult choice as all were very deserving. The families of the applicants should be very proud! Winners announced at the meeting.
A word from the Grand Knight: With Memorial Day arriving soon, may we all take a moment to pause and reflect on those family members that have passed on and are still in our hearts. Remember the families of the brave soldiers that have been protecting our freedom and fighting terrorism. Those that have given their life deserve a moment of prayer. Please Pray for Peace!
Fraternally,
Thayne Benz, Grand Knight.
