Brothers,
   We had a great meeting that was very well attended.  The social "hour" went well passed and we hope to see even more people next time.

   Here are the two big events we want to promote.

1) Bowling next Saturday (23rd) at 6:30pm on JBAB.  RSVP if you haven't already so we can help arrange you getting on base. $30 gets a person 3 games, shoes, soft drinks, and pizza.  ALL monies will go to Warriors to Lourdes.

2) There is a third degree on March 30th.  Already four Knights are going so join your friends and take the third degree!

  Additionally, in May we will have council elections for all elected positions (http://www.kofc.org/en/college/council-resources/for-officers/council-officer-roles.html).  If you are interested in helping continue the 25 years of success which O'Boyle has done for our four parishes and the church, please contact Jack, Patrick A, or Patrick R for more information.
