On the weekend of August 22nd, the State Council hosted the annual K of C State Camporee at Wooded Acres campgrounds in Houghton Lake, Michigan.
This year's event was probably the biggest camporee that we have had in a while. We had over 60 Brother Knights and Families taking up over 20 campsites and everybody showed up for our Mass that we had Saturday evening. Everybody had a great time there were a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.
We hope to see you there next year!

Youth of the Month Appreciation Dinner
On August 26 the Knights of Columbus Au Lac Council in Ira Township honored the January through June 2025 Youth of the Month Award winners and their families with a pizza dinner in the parish hall. We thank them for sharing their faith through service to their church, school and community. We also thank their parents for leading their children by example. These young people are the future of our church!
Au Lac Council started the Youth of the Month Award program in January 2023. Each month we recognize one student in grades 3-12 for demonstrating their faith through service to others. Every six months we host an appreciation dinner for the honorees and their families. The program has been a big success and the only problem is choosing just one out of many deserving young people each month!
