[dropcaps] W [/dropcaps]ow!!!   What a huge turnout for the first fish fry of the 2014 Lenten season.  Thirty six Knights of Columbus helped set-up, cook, serve and clean-up starting early in the afternoon and finishing around 7:30pm.  Not only was there a record turnout of Knights (36 – beat last year’s record by 6), there were also a large number of folks who came to partake of the meal – approximately 220.  As per tradition, Knights served catfish (hand breaded and deep fried), French Fries, baked beans, salad and drinks.

Many of these same Knights helped with clean up and restoring the gymnasium to its original condition.  This was more than a work detail – this was an opportunity to meet new Knights, catch up on what’s happening in each other lives and generally have fun.  What a gala event it was!!!!!
