Message from Our Grand Knight Tom Scalise
Dear Brother Knights & Sister Columbiettes,
I would like to wish all our Brother Knights, Sister Columbiettes and their families a Happy Easter!
This edition will cover Lent which began on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, we try to replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice
and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. This
is the most holy time in our faith.
We have the following events in the month of March: -Saturday March 14: We will be cleaning out the
kitchen. If there is anything that you might like or had sentimental value please join us. We will be there at 9:00AM.
-Saturday, March 21: We will host a Pot Luck Dinner at the council at 6:00 pm. Please bring your favorite dish to share. The council will supply beer, wine and soda. We will have a 50/50 and be collecting donations that will fund the OLF Wheelbarrow Fund raiser which benefits the OLF food pantry. Please contact Dan Garcia (516) 784-6071 as
he will be organizing this event.
-Sunday March 22: there will be a 4th Degree exemplification
for all 3rd Degree members. It will be at Russo’s on
the Bay starting at 9:00am which will be followed by lunch.
The cost is $125 for member and a guest or $70 for member
only. Please contact Rob Timmerman (516)305-7864 if you
are interested.
I will be sending out emails about upcoming events in April! In January we had our Holiday Lunch. I would like to thank
those who attended. We will make this a yearly tradition! Thanks to Anthony Filorimo for organizing this year’s free
throw contest. It was huge success and I believe we had 7 district winners who will be moving on to the Nassau finals.
Another big thank you goes out to Matt Hickson for running the council Super Bowl party. Great job!
I would like to end with a big change to our order. They are doing away with the 3 separate degrees to become a
full-fledged member. The 3 degrees will now be incorporated into one ceremony at which time you will become
3rd Degree Knight. This ceremony will take 35 minutes & will be celebrated at church which will now be open to
your family & the community. We are planning on hosting a degree here in Port Washington in the very near future. I
will explain further at our March meeting.
Fraternally,
Tom Scalise, Grand
