Dear Brother Knights and Family, February is here and winter is definitely hitting the Tidewater area – everyone please be careful through all the winter weather. Please welcome and introduce yourself to our newest Brother Knights from our 1st Degree on January 28th: Nick Ellis, John Arroyo, Greg Erb, Michael Powell, and Jusup Hansen. Thanks to Brother Steve Vetter and the 1st Degree Team for another successful ceremony. The AFC/NFC Playoffs were a great success. Thanks to all that worked and attended. And thanks to all that worked and attended our Sunday breakfast in January. We had about 35 people for breakfast and it really was great to see people coming to the Knights to socialize before and after Mass. A special thanks to the Columbian Club for the new fence that they installed over the last couple of months. You can feel the excitement in the air as we approach Ash Wednesday, Lent, and St. Patrick’s Day. There are many events coming up so please take note of the calendar. Keep in your prayers: Fr. McGivney, our troops and veterans, and all the sick and/or in distress Brothers and family. Go to Mass and pray the Rosary often. Gach mhaithe le Dia Patrick Nash Grand Knight

LOTKA News The Ladies’ Auxiliary met in January and enjoyed the various homemade soups, desserts and other items brought in. There was no Bingo game since I was sick that night. However, they talked and visited with each other and had a good time. The month of February is “Death by Chocolate” and anyone can bring in a chocolate item to share (or anything else if they don’t like chocolate). There is a “Sweetheart Dinner” on Friday, February 7ththat sounds wonderful !!! Tell your spouse, signif-icant other or just a friend that you would like to go………..tickets are on sale now. It would be good to support a Friday night dinner and get everyone back into the club to socialize again. Hope to see you there !!! Laura Reese
Bingo Keys
Since Bingo is no longer in effect, the Columbian Club has asked that all brothers with keys (set of 3) to the hall for Bingo, please return them to PGK Ward Holmes or the Grand Knight. Thank you.
Club Back Yard
Recently, we have had several incidents and com-plaints about members driving and running their dogs in the club back yard. The Columbian Club has asked that the Brothers no longer drive their vehicles or run dogs in the back yard in order to make the back yard presenta-ble for rentals.
