News and Events
FROM THE DESK OF THE GRAND KNIGHT
Greetings my Brother Knights,
Well we finally have a few events on the horizon as you can see below. Let's all make every effort to come on out to these events to help out. The future is looking bright for our council so let's all keep up the good work.
Try to make and participate in at least one meeting a month and help out at some of our events. Come up with some suggestions and ideas that will make Council 967 stronger and better. Consider becoming an officer of the council. If you're unsure if you can carry out any of the officer's duties, simply talk by phone or at a meeting to any of our current officers and they will be more than happy to explain what offices there are and what they entail.
Blessings to All,
David Mickiewicz - Grand Knight
