To My Brother Knights and Their Families:
We had 2 big events last month. Ladies Night gave us the opportunity to treat the special women in our lives to a fun filled evening. Thanks to PGK Matt Lucien and his crew who did a fantastic job as usual. I was in North Carolina for a few weeks and was unable to attend, but my wife Mary went to Ladies’ Night and commented how good the food was.

This year’s Pasta Dinner was held on February 27. Thanks to all who helped put on the dinner especially PGK Ricardo Saldaña for organizing the dinner and Johnny Waldron & his cooks. The Life Center staff is so very grateful for everyone’s hard work on this fundraiser. The dinner was delicious, the food was plentiful, the raffle was so much fun, but the best part was seeing so many people come together who support the work that the Sacramento Life Center and Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home are doing. Further information on both these events will be provided later.
This year’s Irish Night will be held on Thursday March 20. For reservations or to volunteer to help out please call PGK Dale Edwards at: (916) 359-2412 or leave a message on the hall phone at 916-736-0953.

A few months ago our council agreed to donate 2 wheel chairs to the Knights of Columbus Wheel Chair Program. Many thanks to our Worthy District Deputy Don Snow who donated an additional wheel chair in our council’s name.
Lent is about to begin. This is a time of the year where we make a special effort to fast, pray and to provide charitable works. Our council is going to conduct a food drive this year. I’m asking that each council member donate one can of food per day for the forty days of lent. If you can’t donate 40 cans of food, please donate what you can. We will setup a box in the hall to collect your donations . Please let me know about any of our council members who are in need. We will help our brother knights and their families first. The remainder will be given to local food banks.
Thank you.
Go! Make a difference…
