From the Grand Knight: August 2011
Our new year has begun and we are working on several important projects. We need the help of all Knights to make this year very successful. We are preparing a budget for over $40,000 which is our biggest ever. We have completed the fireworks fundraiser and used over 5000 man hours to make this event the best. We paid out over $6000.00 to local groups for their help. These groups included the Boy Scouts and Youth of St. Andrew’s, Moore High School cheerleaders, Westmoore High School PomPon squad, the Rainbow girls, the Navy chiefs from Tinker and St. Marks council.
Come join us for great things to be announced in the future.
