Brother Knights,
Andale Knights of Columbus will meet at the K of C hall on Wednesday, March 12th at 8:00 pm. We will start with a rosary followed by the Council meeting and conclude with refreshments.
Bingo has begun for the 2025 season. This year we will begin at 6:30 pm. Bingo will be on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, January through April. The bingos are a great community activity that the whole family can come out and enjoy. Hope to see everyone there! Please contact Bryce Seiler (316) 518-8054 if you would like to help or pick up volunteer hours.
Our Council held a 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree ceremony on February 22. We welcomed eight new members to our Council. The new members are:
| Ryan Bergkamp Gabriel Ferguson Mathew Focke |
Taylor Harp Ivan Lies Ben Setlock |
Jan Strunk Kevin Veith |
If you know of other men in our community that we should invite to join our Council, please send the names to myself, Pete Hilger or Tony Veith.
The students at Andale and St. Joseph, Ost have been working on their entrees for the Knights of Columbus vocation poster contest. We will judge those posters and select a winner for each age group at our March meeting.
If you have not paid your annual dues for 2025 (or prior years), please pay as soon as possible. Our dues allow the Andale Council to support many charitable causes in our communities. Contact Tony Veith with questions, (316) 648-7180.
