The Lake Current - August 2023
Welcome to the August 2023 edition of our Council newsletter!

As usual, here are a few quick but important items up-front before we get into the news.

  • Our next regular business meeting will be Wednesday, August 9th, starting at 7:30 p.m. All members are welcome. We'll be serving a great hot dinner for members at 6:30.

  • Admission Degree for College-Age Men! We are holding a special Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity for the college-age sons and grandsons of our members, along with their friends, on Friday, August 11th, at 7 p.m. Candidates should arrive no later than 6:30 p.m. Current members should attend to observe the degree in support of our newest members!

  • Bring your C&B raffle ticket stubs and payments to our meeting on Wednesday for a chance to be entered in the Early Bird drawing. Additional tickets will be available at the meeting. Proceeds benefit many important charities in our state as well as our Council directly. There are multiple chances to win for both ticket buyers and sellers, with a top prize of $25,000. Speak to our C&B Chair Kevin Shea for more information.
Comedy Night Returns on Saturday, September 16th!

Join us for another night of fine food and big fun as Comedy Night returns to our Council on Saturday, September 16th.

This time, the proceeds will be donated to another important charity -- Wreaths Across America -- which coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 3,700 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea, and abroad -- including right here in Putnam County.

All the details are on the flyer below. Make sure you make your reservations and prepay before it's too late. These events always sell-out and there are no walk-ins.
Oktoberfest 2023 is on October 7th!

Join us on Saturday, October 7th, for authentic German cuisine, German beer, and live German music from the famous Austrian Boys Band!

We're still finalizing the details, but you can expect to have all of the same great food, great music, and great fun that you've come to expect from this annual event, including a hearty buffet dinner, dessert, live music, and draft German beer.

Watch for full details and ticket information in the near future. But until then, save the date!
Fourth Degree News

The next meeting of Mother Cabrini Assembly will be Thursday, August 17th at our Council.

The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. All Fourth Degree Sir Knights are welcome and encouraged to attend the meeting.







  • Putnam County’s observation of the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th attacks will be held on Monday, September 11th, at the Putnam Heroes Memorial located at Cornerstone Park, 1 Fair Street, in Carmel. More details will be upcoming, but please plan to attend this very moving and solemn remembrance held annually across the street from our Council Hall.

  • Annual Dinner Dance - Sat. 11/4: OUR EVENT OF THE YEAR! SAVE THE DATE! Back by popular demand, we will be holding The Annual at the Ethan Allen Hotel in Danbury. We expect to once again receive a block of discounted hotel rooms, and plan to offer the private hospitality suite with refreshments for our enjoyment both before and after the dinner in the catering hall, which was such a hit two years ago. Watch for the formal announcement shortly. And don't forget to take (and help sell) ads to the souvenir journal. Our journal is a fantastic keepsake and greatly reduces the cost of the ticket price.
Remember, a full calendar of events can always be found on our website: carmelknights.org under the Upcoming Events tab. And don't forget to "like" our Facebook page for up-to-the minute announcements, photos, event listings, and items of interest.
