The Knights of Columbus Helping the Community
Special recognition is needed for the leadership of Ken and Terry Davis and Fidel and Lulu Valdez who begin the initial inventory weeks ago in order to prepare for the event and since then it has not stopped.
At one point Saturday evening, Brother Davis said, "looks like a well oiled machine." This is as I look up and we have 14 people in the booth working diligently at the task at hand, not speaking a word to each other...except those greeting customers at the window. I know of no other organization at the Fair that could pull this off. The volume of prep work and daily execution has paid off this year again...God continues to Bless Us!
I do not have a total; however, the totals will be made available in our Monthly Meeting and in the Minutes. Please join us then.
Congratulations Council 3355 for another job well done!
Appreciatively
Benito A. Montoya
District Deputy for District 17
