Chili Cook-Off – Another great event…
This is a huge note of thanks to all Knights and families who participated and/or worked at our Chili Cook-Off, especially our chair, GK Ricardo and his committee. We had eight teams in the competition with lots of chili to taste and enjoyable music via the talents of Jordan Sax.
Congratulations to Brother Ryan Remis for winning Best of Show with his chili entry, as well as the other winners in their respective categories.
As a result of this event, we are able to split the proceeds of nearly $1,100 between Sacramento Life Center and Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home.

“The next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and good will toward men is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. …Man is a child of God, made in His image, and therefore must be respected as such….And when we truly believe in the sacredness of human personality, we won’t exploit people, we won’t trample over people with the iron feet of oppression, we won’t kill anybody.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – Christmas Day sermon, 1967
