Welcome to our newest member, Brother William Van Straaten. That surname should ring a bell for members as Will now joins brothers Mike and Steve in the Order. Will farms near Sebringville with his Dad. Brother Jim Gaylor is thinking up a plan for a Van Straaten take-over of the Perth West region for State Charity ticket sales.
Also, we welcome Brother John Bettridge who has been reinstated.

Two weeks prior to the scheduled annual mass at the St. Anthony mission church, vandals smashed the door, entered and broke windows and damaged the altar. Thanks to many brother Knights and others who worked on repair and clean up, the church was ready and very presentable for mass on September 13, celebrated by pastor Father Bester. Thank you also to the brother Knights who served refreshments afterwards.

Please welcome Alan Grapes to our Council. Alan joined the Knights 1965 in Hagersville, later moved to Galt and in the mid 1970’s took a leave from the Order.

Welcome Alan!!
