Perhaps it’ll turn into something bigger next year.

As it was, the Knights social gathering after Distribution of Ashes at 6 p.m. on Ash Wednesday was a pleasant get-together of eight Knights, St Paul brothers, and a terrific lady.

We gathered in the Saint Paul dining hall and enjoyed shrimp, cheese, olives, pretzel sticks, grapes and candied pecans thanks to Gene and Janet DeCapua.

There was also pizza, beverages and lots of pleasant conversation.

Plenty of help for Austinwoods residents playing bingo on February 11.

Knights members who regularly host the events were joined by members of the Austintown Fitch High School Junior Air Force ROTC Program.

The residents played bingo, some won prizes, and all got pop and chips when the games were over.

Here a recent email from GK Pete Rich, as we try to understand how the mass email system works:

There was at least one email that went out about second notice for dues.

One member called me today noting that he paid for his dues and got the second notice email.

There are 27 members that paid dues as of this week and Frederick in one of them.

It was probably my error since I’m not “up to speed” on the intricacies of Member Billing or it could be a glitch with the system of which I have not seen a response from Supreme yet.

If you have paid disregard the 2nd notice.
