Due to a scheduling problem, we were not able to schedule an onsite blood drive this quarter. Vitalant, who gives these drives, has offered us a "virtual blood drive. 
Basically, we can sign up using the link below to donate anytime between February 1st through March 30th at an area location and at a time that is convenient to the donor. Donors need to pledge at https://northeast.vitalant.org/LP=28?drive_code=3675&division=NORTHEAST®ion=CLE
 
Vitalant also has a donor center at 18100 Jefferson Park Rd Suite 102, Middleburg Heights, OH 44130.  This center is located off of Engle Road behind the location of the old Bagley Road K-Mart Store.  The Center is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday morning and some Sundays.

For every 35 pints of blood collected, Vitalant will donate $500 to Saint Charles school. Please help us in this important program!

The profits from our Car Show on 6/22 have now been distributed to our targeted charities. On 8/24 our Financial Secretary and Car Show Captain Robert delivered a check to the Cyrenian ministry of Saint Charles which makes peanut butter sandwiches for the homeless. Today Robert delivered a check to Edna House! We are already looking forward to next year's show!

Once again, we sponsored a Knights of Columbus car show to benefit the Cyrenian ministry at Saint Charles, (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless) and for Edna House which helps women with drug and alcohol rehabilitation. We had around seventy-five cars and were blessed with wonderful weather. Thanks to all the brother Knights who helped with the event, and especially to our financial secretary Robert who organized the proceedings! 

On June 26th, our Council sponsored our second "annual" (We took off 2020 due to Covid) car show to benefit some charities at St. Charles that help the homeless, and others in need. This years' event raised $800 for 2 specific charities: The Saint Vincent DePaul Society, and the Cyrenians. The Cyrenians make sandwiches to be distributed to the homeless, and St. Vincent DePaul society helps those families who are in need. And as an added bonus, a newly married couple came to the show which was going on at the same time of the wedding!

Many thanks to Brother Robert Porvasnik who worked to pull this show together, and the Knights who volunteered to work the event!
