On March 19th, out council held its annual Irish Night dinner. Although not as well attended as in past years, we did take in over $700 to help fund our council’s activities. Thanks go out to the following Brother Knights for their help in setting up and doing the dinner:

• Matt Herman for his outstanding cooking of the traditional corned beef and cabbage,
• Michael Litwin for taking the advance reservations,
• Greg Wolfe for helping set up and decorate the hall and for selling bar and raffle tickets,
• George Mills for helping set up and decorate the hall, for ordering and picking up the soda bread and ice cream, and for providing one of the raffle gifts,
• Dale Edwards for helping set up and decorate the hall, preparing the guest list with table assignments, arranging for Cristo Rey High School student helpers, providing bulletin items for St. Mary and Sacred Heart churches, updating the flyer for inclusion in the Knight Letter, and acquiring one of the raffle prizes,
• GK John Sheldon for being the Master of Ceremonies and providing many cookies as raffle prizes,
• Terry Corcoran for tending bar and clean up,
• Dick Cutting for manning the check in table to collect the money and advise on table assignments, and
• Tom Nulk for also bartending.

Hopefully I did not leave anyone out. This is the first year in many years that I have not taken on a heavier load to make this dinner a success. I am pleased that so many Brother Knights stepped up this year. I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Brother David Carboni for all the years that he has been the head cook for the Irish Night dinner. He is still cooking for some occasions, but he needs and deserves a lot more time out of the kitchen.

Thanks to everyone that attended. See you again next year!
