Dear Knights of Columbus...

"We are all members of the Fourth Grade class. With your help we brought in over $1,400.00. We not only spelled well, but worked hard getting sponsors... Again, thanks to you, we get fifty AR Reader books to add our class library."

Interested in Volunteering With Seniors?

Share your fun times with a senior and volunteer with the Senior Support Program. You can enrich a senior's life by sharing a hobby, writing a letter, going for a drive, helping with a pet, driving to an appointment, doing some yard work, helping with errands, or assisting in the office. For more information, please call Claire Kalantar at the Senior Support Program, 925-462-7643, Valley Community Health Center. About 200 seniors registered with the "Friendly Visiting" program are always in need of more volunteers.

It is spring, and I feel like writing. I'm glad we got our Christmas party, for a minute there I had my doubts. You could see a touch of green here and there, Nancy stole that show with her St. Patrick tie. Our year is growing to a close, but it's not over by a long shot. There are many events to go, and I want to thank GK Ron and his officers for doing such an outstanding job with our events. As your worthy Trustee, I was lucky to have participated in many of the events. Of course, the Crab Feed really stands out in my memory. Under the leadership of PGK Brad Schieferstein, it turned out to be one of the best in my thirteen years with the Knights.

An event coming up soon, on April 9th, is the celebration of St. Elizabeth Seton. I am taking this opportunity to invite all the members of our council to attend this worthy event.

My thanks to Bro. Rob Csongor and his wife Kim for being such great hosts for our Christmas party on March 18.

My congratulations to our new members, and I invite them come out and participate I our events.

Wishing you a very happy Easter,

PGK Richard R. Garcia
Second Year Trustee

Happy Birthday to our Brother Knights
