Council 2217     Andale, KS 67001

Aug 2024

Brother Knights, The Andale Knights of Columbus will meet Wednesday August 14th at 8:00 pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall.  We will start with a rosary followed by the meeting and conclude with refreshments.

We are once again participating in the “Pro Football Frenzy Raffle Ticket Fundraiser”.  We only have a month to get these sold this year.  This fundraiser is our biggest fundraiser we do for our council over the last several years and it really allows us to be generous with our donations.  That money has stayed in our community and helped a lot of good causes, so please help sell tickets and support this cause. Not only does the money go towards good causes throughout the year but updates we need at the knights hall. Last year we were able to purchase 100 new plastic chairs for the hall and this year we are hoping to make improvements to the exterior of the building. If you would like to purchase or sell more tickets, please contact me or Robby Spexarth. We will work with you to get you as many tickets as you would like Tickets stubs and money will need to be turned in by Labor Day. I can be reached by email andale2217@yahoo.com or cell 316-207-7032. Robby’s cell is 316-207-3028.

A subject of conversation that has been talked about at recent meeting is painting the exterior of the hall at this months meeting I am hoping to vote on the subject of painting the hall exterior, set a committee and get a plan started so we can get this project done before winter. If you would like to volunteer for the committee or just volunteer as a helper please contact me and I will relay this to the chair head. Pending the vote of the council.

A couple of changes we are going to try out a new system of text message alerts with a link to the newsletter, along with the emails. This way we get the newsletter hopefully to everyone who wants to receive it. If you did not receive a txt this month please contact Brother Tony Veith or myself. If you wish to not have txt alerts please do the same and contact us.

If you have not paid your annual dues and have misplaced your dues notice, please contact Brother Tony Veith and he can provide you with the information. His phone number is 316-648-7180.

Brother Justin Reichenberger and his family are taking care of cleaning and booking the hall for rentals. If you need to rent the hall or know someone who does, please give them

Justin’s number 316-258-1170.
