This brings many great opportunities for Brotherhood. As the weather cools off, remember to watch for children going back to school and enjoy the upcoming events. Thanks for all the help at Bingo and especially all the hard work that the Bingo Managers do to make it successful. We ve seen an increase in the numbers at Bingo and I think it can be attributed to all the planning and hard work that they do. And congratulations to our Knight of the Month for August PGK Ed Lambe. It is well deserved for all the time and effort that he puts into making the council great. There are a lot of events happening in September so keep your eye on the council calendar and help out when you can. Keep in your prayers: Fr McGivney, our troops, and all the sick and/or in distress Brothers and family. Go to Mass and pray the Rosary often.
