   Straight From the Pen of the Grand Knight

       
    Brother Knights,

I would like to thank the Ladies Auxiliary for a successful Valentines Party for the Adult Mentally Challenged on February 12th.  The smiles on their faces said it all. I also would like to thank all of the Brother Knights as well as St. Fabian's Youth Group for all their help with this event. All of your hard work is what made it a success.

Our annual Chili Dinner will be held on Sunday, February 26th.  The event is from 3:00 to 6:00pm in Kash Hall. Along with great food we will also be raffling off a signed Bo Jackson football. I look forward to seeing you there and know it will be a success.

Following that will be our annual Easter Party on Sunday, March 25th at 3:00pm. Come on out, meet the Easter Bunny and join us for a hot dog, soda and treats.

If you are available and can help with any of these events it would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to welcome our newest members. We are always looking for help and new ideas. Feel free to step up and offer an opinion or suggestion on how to improve our council.

God Bless you all.

Fraternally yours,

John Legg

    Feed My Starving Children is an organization that feeds the children in Haiti, Indonesia,
North Korea, Zimbabwe and many other countries and they are in need of volunteers. You can help by donating items on their wish list, monetary donations or by giving a few hours of your time to help pack food to be sent to these countries. It only takes a little time, but it could mean life or death for millions of starving children. Please help out. There are two nearby locations. One in Aurora and the other is in Schaumburg.                                                                                               For more information click on the logo above.
