contribution made by the Supreme Council to Catholic Relief Services
immediately following the earthquake. The period during which online donations
to the United in Charity Fund will be earmarked for Haiti relief has been
extended to February 8, 2010. Donors may also send checks, which should

Webmaster Comment: I have happily agreed to
Johnny's request to continue to maintain the
district web site. It is our intention to use these pages to keep all councils apprised of
Coming Events, to include Degree Schedules,
Degree Teams, and
KOVAR.
We highly encourage Grand Knights, degree team captains, membership chairmen, and
KOVAR chairmen to refer to it often. I will try to keep it as current as
possible.
My special thanks to St. John Bosco Council, #12846 for allowing
us to use
their web site for District business.
