Our time on earth is very brief, so let’s not waste a moment of it. Thank God for every day He has given us. No matter what your trials and tribulations may be, look around and say “Thank you God, for I’m truly blessed”. Thank you to Don and Dee Darcy and their friends for another great New Year’s Eve party. It’s evident that you put a lot of work and effort into this event so that we were ensured a beautiful evening. Having the Honor Guard greet and escort the guests to their table really added a touch of class. Thank you to the workers who gave up their time so that guests could try their luck at the Casino games. To Chef Dave, Jeff, Ray, Colin and the kitchen staff who were responsible for our gourmet meal. Gloria and I, as well as the other guests, were impressed by the manner in which the waitressing staff, under Sue’s supervision, served us. The Knights of Columbus Basketball toss was a success due to the efforts of Ron Graczyk, Tom Lacaprucia, Mel Antuna, and Jesu Urbano. Thank you to score keepers Richard Fulton, F.N., and his wife Barbara, and Mark Urban. The children enjoyed themselves as did the adults in attendance. Come join us for the Valentine’s Dance on Saturday, February 12th. It will be a great evening of fine food, dancing and socializing. The Friday Night suppers are back. Where can you go for an inexpensive meal and enjoy time with family and friends - The Lounge at the Knight of Columbus. There are two Council Meetings per month (2nd and 4th Monday) starting at 7:30 p.m. Come early and enjoy a meal before the meeting. Please try to attend at least one so that you can stay informed. By attending the numerous wakes this past month you showed how much Council 4044 really cares about its members. God bless you. Raymond E. LaMarche G.K.

NEWSLETTER DEADLINE All articles for the March newsletter should be submitted to Donald Turgeon at [email protected] by February 20, 2010. Dear Sir Knights. Due to the cancellation of our January meeting, we were unable to increase the responses to our upcoming 4th Degree Communion Breakfast. The Mass will be held at Holy Cross Church in Holyoke, Sunday, February 6th at 8:30 a.m.; breakfast to follow at St. Patrick’s Social Center, South Hadley. To date, the responses are not at all what I expected. This invitation is also extended to any 3rd Degree member who intends on becoming a 4th Degree Knight. If you would like to join us in honoring our deceased members, please call me at 533-9312. Pursuant to our decision to aid the Veterans at the Holyoke Soldiers Home, 5 members of the 4th Degree met with the Recreation Director and we agreed to host Bingo for the residents on Tuesday, February 8th at 1:00 p.m. Sir Knight Richard Beaudry, a veteran, agreed to chair the committee. Chef Dave will prepare the pastries for the social that will take place before the Bingo. We will be posting a wish list for the Veterans in the Bingo foyer and in the Lounge. Both areas will have collection boxes. Please remember the personal care items must be new and sealed. Fourth Degree Knights are devoted to Patriotism. What better way to express our objective than by honoring the men and women who have given so much for our country. To all 3rd Degree members, I urge you to seriously consider joining the 4th Degree and help us achieve our commitment to patriotism. Please note the following dates: 4th Degree Exemplification will take place in May, 2011 at Knights of Columbus, Council 4044, Chicopee.
