The St John production of Jesus Christ Superstar will start on Thursday night at 6 PM with a Dinner, prepared and served by the Knights. We need some help with the Knight's portion:
- If you can help set up the Hall with tables and chairs at 1 PM on Thursday , please stop by.
- The cooking team has already been recruited and is organized.
- We need servers at 5:30 PM so we can set up service lines, discuss the serving process and man our stations for the crowd that will arrive to eat at 6PM. Servers should wear black slacks and white shirts. During intermission we will serve dessert. 200 tickets were sold and there will be about another 40 including performers who will be fed (singing for their supper).

3. Our AccomplishmentsThe St Johns School parents and staff could not say enough good things about the Knights team at their Catholic Schools Week Open House on January 30th. Tom Zaegel's team provided traffic and parking control in the morning, followed by coffee and sweets for parents in the Council Home. Then they picked up pre-ordered and pre-paid lunches for parents and students at McDonald's and Roma's. The parents came into the Council Home to pick up lunches and some also ate there. We controlled traffic when the children walked over to church and later returned to school, and we directed traffic as everyone left school for the day. The Knights made a lot of friends and we showed off our Council Home to possible renters. We had lots of help and Knights enjoyed fraternity while working.
Six Members took their 3rd Degree at Dundalk Council on the 31st. Congratulations to Chip Anderson, John Reed, Ted Hartka, Ted Danecki, Nick Greaves and Tom Rowan Jr.
Our Super Bowl Party was a big hit with 21 fanatics in attendance. The Raven's Super Bowl Championship was a special celebratory evening for Baltimore that we celebrated together at the Council Home with cheering and high fives at each Ravens touchdown. We enjoyed great food thanks to Cassie Wenderoth, Chuck Bogdanowicz and Pat Donohue. Thanks to all who have supported our Tailgate parties this year.  Our tailgates have not only defrayed operational expenses of the Council Home facility, but more importantly these events built community and fraternity for shared interest in Raven's football.Â
Best of all, this fund raiser was conducted right here in our Council Home and with a modest amount of effort.The Council's annual Basketball Free Throw contest was Sunday afternoon (Jan 27th) at John Carroll HS. Thanks to John Canoles, Bob Renshaw and John Bushman for conducting the activity.
4. Coming Attractions

The next attraction will be a review of the Council Web Site on Friday February 22nd at 8 PM by webmaster Bob Elliott. This will be a chance to learn about www.kofc8736.org features and capabilities and to offer feedback to Bob.
Hall Rentals: Have folks coming to visit for the Holidays but not enough room? Consider renting our Council Home for a family get together. Contact Grand Knight Joe Wenderoth 410-592-9718 or joewenderothsr@gmail.com to talk it over or reserve a date.
