We do a lot of good things as Knights, but the most rewarding ones are when we extend a helping hand to those in need.

 

On October 23rd, the Brother Knights of Au Lac Council 10724 built a handicap ramp for a developmentally challenged young man. His mother was unable to continue carrying him up and down the stairs of their home. These Brother Knights dedicated several hours to building the much-needed ramp for his wheelchair.

 

 

Thank you Brothers for exemplifying the true essence of being a Knight.

 

Your selfless actions serve as an inspiration to us all!

Au Lac Council 10724 in Ira Township received the prestigious Double Star Council Award for the 2022-2023 Fraternal Year at their October meeting. In addition to meeting the requirements for program excellence and hosting fraternal benefits events, the Council gained twice the quota of new members during the year. It is believed to be the first time that the Council achieved this award which very few Councils ever do.

 

Accepting the award is last year's Grand Knight Jeff Wooten (L) from District Deputy Ron DePestel (R).

The Au Lac Council men's church softball teams wrapped up their season on July 21st with an exciting game, followed by a cookout for all the league teams and their families.

Located in Ira Township, the Au Lac Council has been proudly sponsoring a men's softball team for several years. However, this year marked a special milestone as they expanded to two teams.  After the game, everyone gathered to enjoy a delicious meal, prepared and served by the members.  It was a fantastic opportunity for players and their families to bond and enjoy some quality time together.

Any Councils that are interested in joining the Friday evening men's church softball league in St. Clair next summer may contact Mark Kehoe at PD10724@mikofc.org.
