Congratulations to Haydyn Merritt, council 11369’s representative in the state Free Throw championship.
Haydyn won the council, district and regional championships in the 11-year-old girls bracket.
The state Free Throw event is March 18th.
Congratulations to all the diocesan winners.
Council 11369 will be receiving its allotment of Super Cash Bonanza raffle tickets soon. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
Members will each receive tickets from that allotment to purchase, sell, or sell during sales opportunities at St Michael Parish and at the St Paul Monastery.
Our goal is to top last year’s total of 800 tickets sold. But a more important goal is to have as many Knights as possible sell tickets, since this is a group effort. I would like to see 35 of our 70 members sell at least 2 tickets this year.
Our council netted $3468.50 from this fundraiser last year. That’s $4.34 from each $5 ticket sold.
Council 11369-Father Francis X. Borrano, Canfield, Ohio and Council 13466-St. Joseph the Provider,
Campbell, Ohio conducted a “Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship”.
Members of the Canfield Council gathered on Saturday morning February 11, 2017, at the Canfield Middle School to organize, sign-up and officiate 26 boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 14 for the basketball free
throw competition.
Students were separated by age with each entrant given the opportunity to shoot 15 free throws from the 12’ line or the 15’ line depending on age.
The winners of each age group advanced to compete with winners from Council 13466 who also conducted their council competition February 11th in Campbell, Ohio.
The champions from the Campbell Council competed with the champions of the Canfield Council for the District Championship on Sunday February 12, 2017 in Campbell.
The District Champions will move on to the February 25th Regional Championship in Garrettsville, Ohio.
