Council 4828 held our
annual Pork Feed Dinner on Saturday, November 13th, at Moiola Hall. Although
we had a low turnout of only about 65 individuals, the meal was delicious, as
usual, and a good time was enjoyed by all. Several door prizes and
raffle prizes were also awarded by Br. Tom Lukas and Grand Knight Ron
Rudden. Similar to last year, the
top prizes consisted of dinners for two and overnight lodging at various
hotels, casinos, and restaurants in Special thanks go to
Brothers Tom Lukas and Bob Greer for chairing the event, once again, and to
Br. Maurice Hanifan for cooking the meat to perfection. Thanks also go to the other cooks, to
the waiters, and to all of the other Br. Knights who helped to set up the
hall and purchase, prepare, and serve the food. Br. Jim Shurtliff also
provided a pumpkin carving of Jesus Christ, for use as a centerpiece. CLICK HERE TO SEE

Rummage Sale Council 4828 held our
bi-annual rummage sale on the weekend of 12/13 June, but we actually started
collecting donated items several months earlier. As items were donated, a member
of the council would pick them up and deliver them to a temporary storage
building at Br. Ron and Mary Rudden’s residence. The week before the sale, several
Brother Knights helped transport the items from the storage building and a
few other locations to Moiola Hall.
The smaller items were then set up on (and under) rows of tables and
along the walls of the hall. The
larger items, such as furniture and bicycles were stored in one end of the
hall until the morning of the sale, when they were moved outside. Overall, several thousand items were
donated, consisting of kitchen appliances, furniture, books, arts and crafts
items, dishes, pots and pans, yard and garden equipment, computers equipment,
tools, luggage, camping equipment, bicycles, beds and mattresses, toys, and
other miscellaneous items. Although the sale was
only scheduled to last for a few hours on Saturday, when the day was over,
there was so many items left, that the Council decided to extend the sale for
a few hours on Sunday, too.
Saturday’s proceeds exceeded $1300 and Sunday’s proceeds
exceeded $300.00, for a total of $1645.
Hundreds of excess items were sorted and delivered to local thrift
shops that were grateful to receive them. The Council wishes to
thank Br. Ron Rudden for the use of his storage building, Brothers Tom Lukas,
Bob Greer, and Dennis Kathrein for coordinating everything, and all of the
other Brother Knights and their families who helped pick up and transport
items, set up the hall, run the sale, and dispose of the excess items. We also wish to thank all of the local
business and individuals who donated the items and all of the people who came
out to purchase items at the sale.
We appreciate your support. CLICK HERE TO SEE PHOTOS
