Any questions, please contact FN Charles McCosky. In addition, a correction was noted that in the past meeting, our FN requested that the Assembly present colors at this event which was in error.

New Business:
1. Congratulations to S.K. David Orolfo on his new position as the District Deputy.
2. Last year after a brief December Assembly meeting, a Christmas party was held and the occasion was a success enjoyed by both the Knights and their wives.

The motion was seconded and voted in favor. Our FN requested that each Knight brings a side dish as follows (using your last name’s initial):
A thru G - Bring a salad

O thru T – Bring a ‘starch’
U thru Z – Bring a dessert
Our FC James Barger will send out a separate note to the members as a reminder.
