Christmas Tree Lot

 

The Tree Lot had another successful season. We ordered 320 trees and had 3 left when we officially closed. Thanks to all who volunteered for setup, working shifts, and teardown. We raised a lot of money for charity. Great job, one and all.

Nativity Scene on Maui

Our own Adam Smith found this nativity scene on Maui. There's a good chance this set came from our program, but it's possible someone else made it. Any way you slice it, great to see it. Have fun in Hawaii, Adam!

Who wouldn't like to be on Maui right now. It's brrr in Chicago.

Here's a blast from the past for your enjoyment.

Our very own Tom and Jerry make the most of a very rainy Founders Days. Past Grand Knights have all the fun.

Add the 2013 weather, and Founders Days has not had the best luck lately. This only means we're due for some great weather for several years, right?
