Christmas Party Helps Gather and
Grow Food Shelf The Waconia
Knights celebrated Christmas on
December 17th together with over 80
brother Knights and family members.
Through free will donations that
evening, the Knights raised $1,000
that was donated to the Gather and
Grow Food Shelf. The goal of Food
for Families is to ensure that as
few as possible go to bed hungry
each night. Many in our community
are struggling through hardship and
are unable to provide food for their
families.
The Knights of
Columbus are committed to helping
end hunger through the Food for
Families program, which donates to
our local Food Shelf.

event. We were able to add seven new
members: Cesar Merino, Matt Bell, Eric
Menth, Erik Olson, Josh Sell, Chris
Carlson, and Kevin Carlson. We also had
three new members that joined the Chaska
Council # 9141 and had two of our own
1st Degree Knights who completed their
3rd Degree status: Dave Philip and Logan
Haskins. Congrats to all!!
