Council Meeting
January 13th, 7PM

“A new year. A fresh, clean start! It’s like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!”Bill Watterson

Happy New Year! I hope that all of you had a great Christmas filled with the love of family and friends.

New Year’s resolutions offer a fresh start – a chance to reflect on the past year and set intentions for growth and positive change. Whether big or small, they remind us that progress begins with a single, hopeful step forward.

My personal resolution is to get these articles to Josh in a timelier manner. 😉

I am excited for the new year ahead with our council, proud of what we have done and ready to take on new projects and programs. I encourage our members, new and old, to become involved with the events and programs we have throughout the year. If you have a passion or talent that can benefit the council, please share them with us. We are always in need of help. Keep an eye on this page and postings in the lounge for upcoming events.

Our council meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us. This month’s meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 13th @ 7pm.

SK Eric Bollman,

Grand Knight – Council #706
