MUCH THANKS to those brother Knights who helped with this years Tootsie Roll Fundraiser. Event Chair John Bromen had this to say:

"I was a little concerned going into it since I wasn't going to be around and the number of volunteers seemed low. However, once again, God (and the Knights) provided!!! It appears that men and their families showed up out of the blue to help distribute Tootsie Rolls and collect donations, and we ended up having a record year. The preliminary numbers come in at about $3,800!! So, thank you all for your support to make this year's Tootsie Roll fundraiser the best ever!!"

There will be a National Demonstration in Saint Paul (and other American cities) of Catholics to bring attention to the current Health and Human Services regulatory mandates. These mandates require all Catholic Institutions that do not serve Catholics exclusively, to provided health insurance to all employees that includes both birth control services as well as abortifacient chemicals such as "day after" pills. This regulatory process is redefining contraception and abortion as 'medical services' and therefore 'rights' to be not only permissible but to be financed by all citizens, even those that understand that these are morally repugnant practices.

• What: RALLY FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
• Where: WARREN E. BURGER FEDERAL BUILDING PLAZA
  316 NORTH ROBERT STREET , SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA 55101
• When: FRIDAY, MARCH 23RD, NOON - 1:00PM

Questions?: Contact PRO-LIFE ACTION MINISTRIES at 651-771-1500 or e-mail them at RALLY@PLAM.ORG or visit standupforreligiousfreedom.com

The Degree Ceremony held Saturday, January 21^st at Faithful Shepherd was perfect. Thanks to all who helped and congratulations to those who entered full Knighthood!

Len and his lunch crew did an excellent job with the spaghetti. It was voted "best lunch after a degree ceremony."^* If you haven't had the chance to taste our KC spaghetti, make an extra effort to attend our next spaghetti dinner.

Every year more and more cars arrive at St. John Neumann in a convey of confusion and get sorted out good and proper by the hard-working gents of our council.

A HUGE THANKS to all the guys who put in the time and energy to make the event such a success! Couldn't make the event this year? No worries. Our intrepid GK Dan Dixon took a short video showing just how big this event was and what a great job this council did in helping it run smoothly.
