Beacon Herald Phone Books

2017, March, Thank You

The Final Push January 14

It seemed like an easy way to raise funds back at the October meeting when Grand Knight John Price threw out the idea to deliver Beacon Herald phone books. It didn’t get going until early in December.Six weeks later after snow storms, rain, cold, and a break for Christmas, 12,000 books have been delivered. Thanks to all who helped: brother knights, spouses, relatives, children, grandchildren,friends, neighbours.
