Grand Knight’s
Message –
Brother Knights, Joy to the world, our savior is born. Merry
Christmas to all. Just a few announcements before we get entirely
involved in the holiday season. Saturday, January 12th from 12
noon to 3:00
p.m.
is our annual council Free Throw Contest. There should be at least 8 to 10
volunteers. This is always a fun event, if you can spare some time that day
please try and help. Tuesday, January 22nd there is a bus trip to Washington, D.C. for the Right to Life
March. I’m looking forward to the trip since I’ve never been in a crowd that
huge. I’m sure it will be an unforgettable experience. February 6th
is Ash Wednesday. ALREADY!!!! Not much time to prepare for our Lenten Fish
Feast. We haven’t discussed this yet, my fault, time is going by so fast as of
late. We need to do some serious planning for this, as we will be doing all the
work ourselves. A lot of time and work went into our suppers last year. The
time spent together, helping each other was well worth the hours spent in
catering to our Church community. I wish you all a very peaceful and happy
Christmas. ---- G. K. John Kelly
Fraternal Report – Kindly remember in your prayers those Brother Knights and their family
members who are ill and/or recuperating at home or in the hospital especially
Judy Tanzosh, wife of PGK Bill Tanzosh. Also, please continue to remember and
pray for the souls of the deceased members and their families. Remember that
one of the most important ways Knights support each other is through prayer,
especially at times of illness or death. Anyone knowing of a
member of this council or a council member’s family who is sick or in need of
assistance should contact any council officer.
Membership – Anyone
knowing of a prospective new member should contact Membership Chairman PGK Bill
Tanzosh at 610-759-3161.

Note: any time you spot an error, especially in name
spelling or birth dates, please notify the Grand Knight. This might signify an
error in official Supreme Council records and could possibly result in problems
when trying to claim insurance benefits if not corrected.
Shining Armor Award – All new Brother Knights may qualify for the order’s
Shining Armor Award. You qualify if, during your first year as a Knight, you
are involved in at least 3 council service programs, attend at least 3 business
meetings, receive the second and third degrees, meet with the insurance
representative and recruit one new member.
C.O.A.L. Tickets – Drawings were held on December 8th. Hope some of you were
winners. If so, let us know.
Keep Christ in Christmas – Council is again selling the “Keep Christ in
Christmas” magnets. Every Knight should support this promotion to keep Christ
in Christmas. We see the commercial attempts to eliminate the reference to
Christ during this season of His birth. Displaying this magnet on your car or
in your home will serve as a visual reminder to all that “Christ is the reason
for the season.” Magnets will be sold at all Masses or you can contact Former
District Deputy Joe Inhoff at 610-759-3184.
Entertainment Books – Our Council’s annual fundraiser sale of
Entertainment books is still being conducted. Books are $20 and can be obtained
by calling Grand Knight John Kelly at 610-217-2778. They make great last minute Christmas gifts
especially for the hard to shop for person.
First Degree Team – Anyone interested in participating as a mock
candidate or as an alternate member of the team is invited to attend any of the
practices that are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Wortman Center.

Annual Christmas Party – The Council’s annual Christmas party was held on
Wednesday, December 5th in the parish social hall. We had our best
turnout yet; more than 70 people attended. A great time was had by all. Good
food, good fellowship and a visit from Santa for the children (it was nice to
see so many youngsters). Dapper Dan also attended and entertained us. The
annual council awards for Knight of the Year and Family of the Year were
presented.
Knight of the Year – Council’s annual Knight of the Year award was given to PGK William Tanzosh. Congratulations Bill.

presented to Brother Knight Vito Spinozzi and his wife Genny. Congratulations to you both. (See photos on
