| Welcome Officers for the 2023-2024 Fraternal Year |
The 4th Degree Installation was held in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church Upper Hall. The ceremony went very well with our Arkansas KOC State Warden, Andy Anderson, presiding over the Installation. Forty-Seven people, to include many spouses, were in attendance.
Immediately following the installation everyone retired to the Church Lower Hall for an "Outstanding Prime Rib Dinner", prepared and catered by Home Plate Restaurant. Everyone said the dinner was wonderful, the fellowship superb, and they had a very good time. The festivities ended around 8:30 p.m.2023-24 Leadership

| Grand Knight Rick Phillips with Knight of the Month Ed Aucoin |
Congratulations to Ed Aucoin for receiving the April 2023 Knight of the Month Award for his Blessed Work with the Blood Drive!!
Ed has been involved with .Blood Drive for the past 12+ years.
On average,there are about 25 (roughly half) of teh donors are associated with the Knights of Columbus/Sacred Heart Church. There are an average of 45-50 donors per Blood Drive.
For the calendar year 2022, there were 30 gallons donated. This came from both the Knights and the members of Village United Methodist Church, an aveage of 40 pints per drive, and this average does not include the collection of double red blood cells which is 3-5 per drive.
New Donors are always welcome!! As with anything in the Village, the population is getting older and many donors have been lost due to health reasons.
A reward well deserved!!

Gerry Millhouse has a brand new - specially designed truck that is now allowing him to travel anywhere he needs to go. The special lift in the back of the truck was designed by a company in Canada and is operated by hand controls. Once his wheelchair is safely tucked inside the truck bed the hydrolic lid closes down.
