THE " 30 - 20 - 10 " CLUB DRAWING APPROACHES

The Council has recently organized a " 30 - 20 - 10 " Club, with the dual objective of raising money for Boyd, as well as

providing a lottery for the membership. The title explains the payout: 30% of all monies collected goes to the first prize winner,

20% to the second prize winner, and 10% to the third prize winner. In addition, prizes 4 through 8 will consist of a free entry into

the next drawing in the fall. Tickets are being sold for $25.00 each until June 16th.

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 drawing will be held on June 16, 1994 after the Council elections at our office at

1008 McLean Ave.

Fr. Duffy Squires Reunion

The first ever Fr. Duffy Squires reunion was held on Friday, April 8th, and by all accounts was a rousing success. Squires from

five decades were in attendance as Guest of Honor and keynote speaker Ken McLaughlin delivered a riveting characterization of his

48 years as Chief Counselor of the Fr. Duffy Squires. It was a nostalgic and memorable evening that ended with Grand Knight Jim Maher

announcing plans for another reunion in two years to mark Ken's fiftieth anniversary with the Squires.
