Message from Our Grand Knight Tom Scalise
Dear Brother Knights & Sister Columbiettes, Fall is upon us. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get
the Council moving ahead!
I would like to start by thanking our Brother Knights and Sister Columbiettes who marched in the Pride-In-Port Parade on September 16th. Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment I was unable to join. Our continued participation in these events lets the community know that the Knights are involved and are part of Port Washington.
I would also like to thank Brothers Ed Gabriel and Anthony Filorimo for setting up the hall and helping to arrange and organize the Installation of Officers for the 2017/2018 Columbian year. Even though the turnout was low with only one third of our officers attending, we all had a good time and the food was good and plentiful.
Many thanks to all who cleaned-up after the festivities. Brother Ed Gabriel has volunteered to be this year’s C&B Chairman. I will work closely with Ed to ensure we have as much success as we have had in the past years. A big "Thank you" to Brother Jim Avena for serving as past Chairman.
On Sunday, November 5th, we will be holding a new member recruitment drive at St. Peter’s after each mass. We will also use this opportunity to sell our C&B books at the church. Members will be needed to assist after each mass. More details to come as that day approaches.
Our Council has recently made a donation to assist our fellow Brothers and their families in Texas as they recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey.
We have been asked once again by the NY State Council to contribute in a similar way to assist our Brothers and their families in Florida after they were affected by Hurricane Irma. I suggest that we make a similar donation from our Council to help our fellow Brothers. Please mark your calendars for Fatima’s Oktoberfest, Friday, Oct 13th, 7:30PM at the Polish Hall. The event is catered, so our Knights will assist serving food at the Buffet or possibly help with security for the evening.
