Attending the event were just under 230 people in total. There were 16 St. Rita Knights of Columbus families attending the dinner, many of them for the first time. $305 was awarded in the 50/50 raffle with all proceeds going to the St. Rita Parish ($305 raised for Parish).
Special thanks to Carol Twohill for handling ticket reservations and seating. We had well over 20 St. Rita Knights helping out in some way throughout the weekend. Joe, Jim and John Dacey, always giving of their time to support St. Patrick’s Day events at St. Rita, brought their expertise and fraternal brotherhood from Fr. Donaher Council #3733 in North Haven.
Regarding Knight of Columbus membership, during the dinner we acquired a transfer, received a commitment from two gentlemen who will attend a first degree on March 23rd at St. Mary’s, and had three additional Gentlemen express interest in joining the St. Rita Knights of Columbus.
