Answering the call on October 22 from District 10 Deputy Ed Miller were eleven other knights who traveled to Malvern to help clean up the parish grounds of St John the Baptist Church.  The local Council 10208 has been working with DD Miller for more than two years in trying to get a viable Round Table established in a parish which had an active Council (6942) in the 1970's.  

In a recent visit with Father Innocent Okore at St. John's, Ed noticed that the parish grounds could use some work to spruce up its appearance.  Father Okore accepted Ed's offer to have the knights from his own council clean up the area.

The knights trimmed the hedges, cut dead branches from trees, raked the lawns, cleaned the gutters, and power washed much of the brick church.  Working with the knights were parishioners from St. John's, who also served a lunch at noon.

Knights assisting Ed Miller in this effort were Ray Ambrozich, Tom Auel, John Bodensteiner, Bob Bowman, Dave Johnston, Mike Murphy, Jim Passe, Pat Perilloux, Steve Schramer, Bill Welch, and Dave Witchger.

Grand Knight Dave Johnston, District Deputy Ed Miller, and Membership Director Ed Cudworth will visit St, John the Baptist on Sunday, October 30, to talk to Father Okore and men of the parish about the Knights of Columbus.
