THE EXECUTIVE CLUB IS BACK

In an effort to both raise capital and increase member participation, the council is

re-instituting the Executive Club. Only 100 tickets will be sold at $50.00 each. Prizes will

be distributed as follows: 1st prize - $1,000

2nd prize - $ 750

3rd thru 5th prize - $ 250

6th thru 15th prize - free entry into the next drawing.

Contact chairman Ed Crean on the hotline (914) 237 - 2747 for further information. Help your council and quite

possibly fatten your own wallet at the same time. The tickets are already on sale, and the drawing will be held on

June 17, 1993 at the Fraternal Night held at our office on McLean Ave.

Yonkers Raceway Night

On Saturday evening, March 20th, a group of members, their families and friends attended the annual

Night at Yonkers Raceway. The evening, which was enjoyed by almost 70 people, featured a Prime Rib Dinner,

and a race named in honor of W.J. Boyd Council. The night was a huge social success, but if the moaning and

grumbling were any indication, not too many members of our group achieved any of the financial gain they undoubtedly

envisioned. Many thanks to Dennis Farley, who once again provided the attendees with a great evening of entertainment

that came off without a hitch.

Upcoming Degrees

1st Degree - April 29th - at Aquinas Council

3rd Degree - April 16th - at St. Raymond's Council

"Hotline"

When you would like to know about upcoming events, give us a call at

(914) 237 - 2747. We are trying to use our telephone answering machine as a kind of bulletin board - a way to keep

you informed of any curent council news, as well as providing the general membership with a point of contact during off-hours.

Fraternal Nights

On the first and third Thursdays of every month we have been hosting Fraternal Nights at our office at 1008 McLean Ave.

There are poker games and/or dart matches featured on these nights, with beer, soda and hot dogs for your refreshment. If cards

or darts don't interest you, then come by anyway and just enjoy the company of your fellow Knights. There is a $5.00 charge for

refreshments and the fun begins at 7:30.

1993 Dues Reminder

dues notice and remittance envelope for those members who are still in arrears. The dues are as follows - $30.00 for regular members
