25 Knights and their wives enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party at Dino’s Restaurant in North Jackson on Friday, December 13.

Tia Ciferno from the Bella Women’s Center in Niles was there to provide musical entertainment.

She and her story were both a huge hit!

Father Roehrig (above) and others led us in festive song as well.

And the menu was terrific!

Certainly, though, our thoughts at all times were with our brother, Brother Paschal.

Below is the press release for the just-ended Andy Skrobola Memorial Holiday Food Drive.

Our K of C council will continue the effort with a food distribution to a shorter list of needy families on Saturday December 14th at St Paul Monastery.

Around 200 hams will be donated to food-related charities in Youngstown.

Another Andy Skrobola Memorial Holiday Food Drive has come to an end, and it was an overwhelming success.

40 families consisting of about 140 people were fed for a week at Thanksgiving.

Families also received turkey and grocery vouchers.

The annual food drive is a combined effort of the Canfield Lions, the Knights of Columbus, Canfield Community Care Net, Canfield Rotary and the Canfield High School Leos Club.

Canfield residents filled grocery bags with non-perishable food and other items.

The Lions, Leos and Knights dropped bags at 5,000 area homes, and the Leos picked up the filled bags.

Township residents brought their filled bags to one of the three local fire stations.

The Lions purchased the turkey vouchers, Community Care Net provided food vouchers, and the Rotary Club provided winter coats.

Food Drive Chairman Phil Bova said, “Each family received between $100 and $250 in vouchers depending upon the number of individuals in the family. We thank the community, for making this worthwhile endeavor possible.”
