Knights of Columbus St. Anne – Oratory Council 6756 has been busy with its activities to support chosen charities, and on June 21, 2010 had the pleasure of distributing the fruits of those labors.
At its Awards Night at The Rock Hill Oratory in June, the Council distributed $1000 each to the York County Family Connection and the Special Olympics, the result of funds raised from its Operation Hope efforts, chaired by Brother Rene Zayas. A young Special Olympics Gold Medal winner was present for the event, and treated attendees to a speech about his life, which all agree will serve to inspire in future efforts to raise funds.
Additionally, that evening Sir Knight Larry Facelli was proud to present 380 stuffed animals collected in a joint effort he chaired for the Council and the Father Henry Tevlin Assembly 2108. The toys, collected from members of York County's Catholic parishes, were distributed to the York County Sheriff’s Department and the Rock Hill Police Department to provide comfort to children in times of crisis.
Also distributed were the proceeds of a Family BBQ at St. Anne Church on June 12th, chaired by Brother Joe Berger, with a profit of almost $1000 donated by the Council to St. Anne Church.
