GRAND KNIGHT’S REPORT As 2016 draws to a close, I would like to reflect on this past year at EDW and give thanks for a great 2016.

From a simple idea - how can we help with the Christians in need and who are being displaced because ofwar? We sold olivewood crosses and raised over $12,000 for refugees from the war torn Middle East. Our Supreme Knight Carl Anderson mentioned our Council in his address at the Supreme Convention in Toronto. It was a very proud moment for our council.

We have, for the 32nd year, provided Thanksgiving for many people who would have not had a meal or a place to go for Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving is an “All Hands” event. Thanks to all who participated this year. This past year, our Council Home, pool and grounds and facilities were shared by many

members and guests. We are fortunate to have what we have here at EDW. I hope you take a minute to appreciate that we are lucky to have the facilities and grounds at EDW.

Our Council is working well. We are taking forward steps to keep our Council active and vibrant. Our Columbus Club Board is also working well together and is “firing on all cylinders”.

On behalf of all our members, I want to thank everyone who makes EDW the best and most unique Council in the entire Knights of Columbus. Thank you to the Officers of our Council. Thank you to all the Past Grand Knights and Officers who have provide guidance and support. Thank you to all the committee chairmen who give their time and effort to our Council, and represent us on a State and National level. Also, thank you to our Ceremonial Team, ”The Seven Saints”

Thanks to the Columbus Club Board for the work you are doing to make EDW a fun, happy, safe, and inclusive place for all our members.

I am proud of the work we are doing on the Council and in the Club. Thanks to all who have stepped up to be leaders in our Council and Club. It is not easy to stand up in front of your peers and ask for their votes. I appreciate all who do.

Thank you to all our Columbus Club Employees, the people in the office, the folks who cook and clean and set up, the bartenders at the Council Home, the staff who work in the Deep End and Snack Bar, the Camp Counselors who make EDW a fun and safe place for our Summer Camp. Also thanks to the people who run our pools and keep us safe as well.

Thank you to the Volunteers who selflessly give their time to help our Council and Club. Thank you to the Red Coats, the guys who write, edit, stuff envelopes and mail the Knight Life, the Volunteers who cook and serve Family Breakfast every month. Thank you who cook and serve the BBQ and pour beer for KOVAR at the summer picnics. Thank you to all who cooked Jambalaya and to everyone who came up and donated to our friends in Louisiana when they were flooded. Thanks to all who volunteer for Honor Flight and those who make our Car Show happen. Thanks to the people who organize, run and attend events at EDW, The summer BBQ’s and Masses, our memorial Mass in November, the Nationals game, the Easter Egg Hunt, the kids and adult Halloween parties, Breakfast with Santa and New Years Eve. Thank you to the Knights who answer the call in our Parishes too.

Thanks to the people who cut and care for our lawns and grounds, and the folks who plow and shovel the snow. Thank you to the organizations with our Council, the Fish Club, the Ladies U-Knighted, the retirees, the tennis players, the Bridge players, the golfers for your support and commitment to making EDW fun for our members and their families. Thanks to the Holy Mackerels for your great season too!

Thank you to our Chaplain Fr. Joe and to all the Priests, Deacons and Religious who serve our Parishes and take care of our spiritual needs. Thanks to our Knights of Columbus Insurance Field Agents who help us with our financial planning.

And thank you for being a Knight, and a member of The Edward Douglass White Council. I hope you are as proud of EDW as I am and are committed to making 2017 be even better.

I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours very truly, Christopher Bannon Grand Knight

SICK AND IN OUR THOUGHTS Please remember the following members and their families in your

daily prayers. If you have time, give them a call or drop them a note.
