Only one week left to reserve at the early-bird rate for our 45th Annual Dinner Dance & Awards Ceremony!

Our Annual is Saturday, November 5th at 7 p.m. in the St. James school gym.

The night includes a cocktail hour with catering by Aversano's of Brewster, with plenty of hot hors d’oeuvres, a great catered buffet dinner, dancing, a brief awards ceremony, and delicious desserts & coffee.

$65 each or $120 per couple in advance, or $75 each / $150 per couple after 10/28, including at the door. Contact GK Rob to make your reservation. Please give your check to Joe Groneman or mail it to his attention to: Council 6318, 10 Fair Street, Carmel NY 10512.

On September 29th our Council welcomed seven new brothers to our Order and our Council: Bryan Brooks, John P. Cody, Montgomery Delaney, Joseph Fleischman Joseph Kenna, Joseph Nicotra and James G. Oster.  Please join us in congratulating them, and welcome them when you see them.

Thanks to our in-house Admission (First) and Formation (Second) Degree Teams for another great job. We're planning another First Degree in December, so please forward membership applications to Membership Chairman Ralph Fleischman as soon as possible. 
Finally, two quick (but heartfelt!) notes of thanks.

Thanks to everybody who came to our Oktoberfest celebration on October 8th, and thanks also to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make it a great day, especially co-chairmen PGK John Adams and Mike Bock. Next year promises to be even bigger and better!

And thanks to our Ladies Auxiliary for running another wildly successful Pocketbook Bingo night on October 15th. It was another sold out house, where everybody had loads of fun. They also raised a lot of money for several worthy charities. Well done Ladies!
Once again, our sincere thanks for your support in making these council events a success. Our council continues to accomplish great things only through the participation and volunteer help from our members.
