Fat Tuesday Pot-Luck Dinner
On March 1, your Council teamed up with the Catholic Daughters and the Catholic Women’s League to have a Mardi Gras Party. About 30 people attended. After dinner, everyone played Bingo and had a great time. But to this writer, the star of the show was brother Dario Papasergia’s Jambalaya! Our 3 groups are already planning another dinner for after Easter.
A Special Plea for Help
The Council has allocated funds to fix our BBQ trailer but can’t find anyone to do the work. We need to remove and replace the burners and gas piping in the trailer. If you know of anyone who can
do this work, please call:

Website and Social Media
Work on the new Council website is moving along and should be “finished” in a few days. What is needed now is for a group of our Brothers to help maintain the website, update and monitor our social media accounts. One volunteer, Rob Newell, has already stepped forward.
You can make a huge difference with even a commitment of 10 minutes per week. Keeping our social media accounts clear from unwanted and inappropriate posts can be done from your phone, tablet, computer. Training will be provided and all tasks will be very easy to perform.
If you would like to assist with the maintenance of these projects, updating contents, posting photos, adding events, etc, etc please contact Joe Dunn at joe@kofc2014.org or 208-871-2480.
