The highlight of our year may just be the reurn of our Italian Night Party which was held in October.  It was held for the first time in the Marian Room and a great time was had by all.  The event was catered by Restaurant 388.

 

In April we attended the Annual Nassau Chapter Charity Ball, held for the first time at Leonard's Palazzo in Great Neck.  Our PGK Ted Newkirk was presented with the Chapter's LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.  The council was well represented with two tables.

 

We had a very good year selling the NYS Council C&B Chance books. We were able to sell the chances after mass again but the membership really stepped up and purchased more chance books than usual. Unfortunately we were unable to send a team to the C&B Bowling Tournament due to illness & injuries.

 

Our “Keep Christ in Christmas” car magnets  sold nearly 12,000 magnets to our full box purchasers (other councils) by and individual sales (eBay).  Our new website, www.kofc2122.org made a difference as we accepted credit card and Paypal payments which enabled our shipping department to ship the orders the next day. We look forward to another banner year in 2024.

 

We sent a Foursome to the Fordham University Alumni Golf Tournament where they honored our Brother Knight John Cifichiello Posthumously.

 

The council supported the Parish Blood Drives.

 

Our new program from Supreme was a resounding success, called ASAP (Aid & Support After Pregnancy) where in the month of of October we collected Diapers and Baby supplies. We also raised $2,000 which was presented to the Gianna Center.  Our Annual Coat Drive happened in November and generated over 1000 coats! The Annual Christmas Party held at SVCC was a huge success.  We presented the newly named "Ted Newkirk Knight of the Year" award to Ted's widow Paola.  We also recognized James "Jim" Brooks for his 20 years of dedicated service as our Lecturer and more.

 

 

The council also conducted the Annual Memorial Mass this past November  We were joined by the Columbiettes and the Rosary Society. At this mass, celebrated by our Pastor Fr. Bob, Chaplain and we remembered the following who passed in 2023 and all our members who have gone before us.
