My Brother Knights of Council 7232

We had an Exemplification Degree on January 17 and we welcomed Ian Lutz into our Order. There were 36 people in attendance and the Worthy Regional District Deputy, Joe McCarthy was present and he awarded our Council with a special Unity Award. This Exemplification was held in honor of our Beloved Brother Donald Martin. Our Worthy District Deputy Monk could not attend due to a medical condition. Please keep him in your prayers. Congratulations to our Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest winners; Rodrigo Villeda, Claudia Harley and Reagan D'Arco. Also participating were Michael D'Arco, Joslyn Rivera, Sonia Harley and Yahir Villeda. They all did outstanding artwork and let's give it up for them!!! Since we were not able to do the Operation LAMB (Tootsie Roll) distribution this year at Walmart due to Covid-19. Please consider taking a box or some Tootsie Rolls and distributing among friends & family with always stating that any donation would greatly help those that are less fortunate due to being mentally challenged. See Brother Troy Allen or myself to obtain a supply to distribute on your own.
