FOOD PROGRAM: The food pantry is down once again. Hunger is always up. PLEASE, each time you come to the council, bring an item of nonperishable food. A can of Soup, a box of Pasta, a can of Vegetables, a jar of Peanut Butter and/or Jelly, a box of Cereal, etc. Every item goes a long way in feeding families and individuals who struggle to survive. Bensonhurst Market is next door and I go in there and always find a sale. A couple of dollars goes a long was in helping those in need. Matthew 25:35: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. Fraternally, Bob Vezzuso, FS

FS News: Intent to Suspend notices have been sent to those who are in Arrears. Gentlemen, your 2015 Travel Card is no longer valid. The next step is suspension. Please pay your dues as soon as possible. The Knights of Columbus is a strong organization because of its members. Every member we lose softens our voice. We value your membership, even if you cannot attend meetings. Paying your dues keeps you current and, in the future, if you do decide to get involved once again, there will be no roadblocks. Also, keeping current, maintains your continuous service towards Honorary and Honorary Life membership. Fraternally, Bob Vezzuso, PGK, FS 718-234-1747

KINGS COUNTY KORNER HAPPY EASTER to all. I hope all had the opportunity to share this Easter celebration with their families. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Toigo Family in the speedy recovery of Samantha Toigo. Young blood always heals quickly. In February, the Kings County along with New York State Council, sponsored "Swish for Kids" at St. Ephram Auditorium. This event benefitted children diagnosed with some form of cancer. A great turn out from officers and members of the county. Approximately 45 children and their families were in attendance. Knights of Columbus Long Island Assembly Color Corp were present. They presented the Flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you all for your support. We are having a fund raiser for Special Olympics on Sunday April 3, 2016 at the Barclay Center. Ticket price is $45 to watch the Brooklyn Nets. Hopefully they will win. A free shooting shirt is included with this ticket and $10 per ticket will go to the Heart Share Foundation. Please support us and reach a out a purchase a ticket. A great afternoon is planned. One PM is game time. A Kings County Conference meeting is scheduled for Wed.13, 2016 at Cardinal Stritch Council at 8:00 p.m. All delegates and alternates MUST attend. This is an Election night. All are welcome to attend. A collation will follow. Congratulations to all our newly exemplified members of the Fourth Degree. Fraternally, John V. Arcate, PGK-FDD Conference Chairman Page 8 of 16
