For eight weekend evenings during October Pavia Council Knights converged on Blue Jay Orchards to asist in the operation of the Bethel Jaycees Haunted House.  This volunteer work earned $1100 for the Scholarship Fund.
Breakfast FlyerOn Sunday, October 7, more than 200 Knights, families and friends shared breakfast with Bishop Lori - the honored guest and featured speaker during this year's Communion Breakfast.
In October dozens of brothers donned vests and solicited donations for individuals with mental retardation.  More than $1700 was collected for this cause - which appears to be a record for this annual drive!
Donut eating contestThe 2001-2002 fraternal year started with a family picnic in August.  Let's hope we can make this a yearly tradition!
