Please join us in congratulating the following seven Catholic gentlemen who received the honors of our Order on August 11th at the Exemplification of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity held at our Council:

They are now Third Degree members of the Knights of Columbus and our Council!

Congratulations also to two of our members, Brian McManus and Dan McPartland, who ascended to the Third Degree by the same ceremony.

Please welcome our new brothers and their families, and encourage them to take part in the many fun events and volunteer opportunities that we offer.

A big thanks to our in-house Degree Team for doing another fine job of presenting a dignified and impactful ceremony. Thanks also to all who prepared and served a tasty dinner after the degree.

Join us we celebrate our anniversary at our 52nd Annual Dinner Dance and Awards Ceremony on Saturday, November 4th! Fine dining, open bar, music, dancing, raffles, and recognition of our members who do so much to make our Council so special.

Back by popular demand, the venue this year is a return to The Ethan Allen Hotel in Danbury, Connecticut, where we'll enjoy a cocktail hour, open bar, full buffet dinner, dancing, photo booth, and entertainment. The cost is $125 per guest, and it is sure to be well worth the price for this event, which will also include our hospitality room for your enjoyment before the event and for the not-to-be missed after-party.

We've once again made arrangements with the hotel for a block of rooms at the Ethan Allen Hotel for our guests at discounted rates. Call (800) 742-1776 (mention "Knights of Columbus room block") and make your room reservations today!

This year we are honoring as our "Knight of the Year" Sir Knight Otto Romanino, and as "Family of the Year," Bill & Gail Silke & Family!
