Council 953 again this year conducted the basketball free throw contest at three area schools: St. Marys, Sacred Heart and Holy Spirit. The total students that participated was 290 this year. These are boys and girls ages 10-14. It took a few hours at each school to go through all of these students. I really appreciate the Brother Knights that volunteered this year to help run the events, especially since I was hobbled quite a bit by a broken left foot. The helpers were: Dick Cutting, Floyd Wells, Ricardo Saldana, Steve Mills. I feel like I am leaving someone out, so please accept my thanks and apology if I have. We will do it again next year.
