After purchasing a double order of winter coats in order to access a better price, Knights Council 11369 brothers delivered coats to several charities we serve on a continuing basis.

Above, Brother Mark Curtis drops off a box to Dorothy Day House in Youngstown.

And there were more boxes to come!

Also, Brother Knight Mike Vince is pictured above, making a delivery to Emmanuel House in Girard.

Our annual sales of raffle and Football Craz-R tickets make these donations possible.

Five Council 11369 members joined in with other volunteers with Operation Blessing on November 13th, setting the stage for the November 20th food distribution.

We unloaded the Rulli Bros truck starting at 8:20.

From there, cases of food were categorized, with some of the delivery staged at the bagging tables, so the food bags for Thanksgiving dinners could be assembled.

This took place at Canfield Methodist Church, the temporary location for Operation Blessing.

Given the SNAP situation, it’s not certain what kind of demand there will be on the 20th.

Several “long haulers” with K of C Council 11369 got together to present previous Grand Knight Vic Buente with a couple of gifts, in appreciation of his years of service.

We collected money and bought Vic a top-of-the-line Knights sport shirt from Knights Wear.

We also gave Vic and Lady Holly Buente a $125 gift card to the Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton.

In the photo taken during our regular November meeting in the Father Francis X Borrano Meeting Room at the St Paul Monastery, we all watched as Vic read from a “thank you” card and opened the gifts.

And Vic isn’t done yet.

He officially announced that he is the council’s new financial secretary.

May God bless, and thank you for your service to the Lord in the past, and still to come.
