Keep Christ in Christmas.  On Saturday December 16, several of our knights were at St. Susanna setting up our annual “Keep Christ in Christmas” sign along Rt 42 in Mason. Thank you to those who helped!

On December 7th we held our first FREE beer tasting  hosted by Michael Sanderson, Brewing Manager at Samuel Adams in the Meyer Center.  Brother Knight Mark Ramirez prepared several delicious appetizers for the group.      Our plan was to use this event to recruit new male members from the St. Susanna parish to learn more about our organization, the charity work, and Catholic fraternity. GK George Denman delivered a powerful speech describing Knights of Columbus history and sharing some of the benefits of being a member including access to an insurance portfolio of life insurance, long-term care and annuities.  We raffled off some nice door prizes at the tasting including 6-packs of Sam Adams and Kroger gift cards.

Turkey Fry.  In November, Brother Knight Mark Ramirez, volunteered at the St. Susanna Turkey Fry.  This is an annual event to cook Thanksgiving turkeys for November’s Turkey Dinner Ministry to feed Mason’s struggling families. Way to go Mark!  Thank you for your service and representing the Knights.

Wine Tasting Fund Raiser.  Nothing brings people together like wine. On November 15, the St. Susanna Knights of Columbus proved that raising money for worthy causes like St. Joseph’s Orphanage and St. Susanna Outreach Ministries can be a very enjoyable, entertaining, and rewarding experience.   It is only the second wine tasting event held by the Knights, and we already doubled attendance over the first event as people brought more friends and word has begun to spread about this fun evening!  We were also blessed to have Father Bishop join in our fellowship.
