The weekend of May 27/28, the Knights bikes program of Council #8500 delivered 15 free bikes to Bishop Kenneth L Tate of The Body of Christ Church in Detroit. Bishop Kenneth Tate is an anchor in the community in many different ways, including a food drive he runs almost every Friday throughout the year. You can listen to Bishop Tate from Tuesday to Friday mornings on WMUZ FM, radio from 4 AM to 5 AM. We have supported Bishop Tate for many years, and plan on continuing to do so in the future. To God be the glory we have  given away 1192 bikes as of today!

If you know of anyone who needs a bike, or if you have a bike to donate, please let us know.

Thank you Gary Cornellier  Fr, John Howard Council #8500 Highland Michigan.

Our Knights of Columbus Au Lac Council #10724 does a lot of great programs and activities throughout the year, but the best ones are those that help make life better for people in need.

This week several members worked for two days to rebuild a deck for a wheelchair bound person so he could enjoy being outdoors at his home. Thank you to those brother Knights for demonstrating what being a Knight is all about.
