To My Brother Knights, Sister Columbiettes and the entire Delaney Council Family,
“Peace and Joy” We celebrated The K of C Founders Day with a Prayer service and rosary, we enjoyed a wonderful Holy Week and Easter Sunday. Our Annual Woodloch weekend was once again a great time sharing some fraternity and family time together. As Grand Knight I was honored to represent our Council with my brother Knights at the New York State Council Convention. Voting in our own Nassau County Brother Anthony Ippolito to the high honor of State Deputy. We finished out the month with a great time experienced by all at the Columbiette’s Spring Fundraiser. Thank you “4-Ways to Sunday” and our sister Columbiettes. Our upcoming months will bring the Living Rosary and May Crowning of Mary on May 18th, the Memorial Day Weekend where we Honor our fallen Veterans at Pinelawn Cemetery with flag placing and a living rosary followed by breakfast and look for Delaney Night Karaoke and a Western Night in the coming months. “Truly, I say to you, … Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will not pass away.” Mk13:30-31. I quote this as I think how fast this year has passed and how much things have changed and yet how the success of the Council continues. As this Columbian year passes It will start again with our Election of a new Grand Knight and his officers for the 2023-2024 Columbian year. I must remind all our members as we have so many times before made pleas for assistance and call out for your participation in bringing our Council to a productive and prosperous year. Find that one thing you can do and offer your talents to the Delaney Family. I would like to thank my officers for all their hard work and dedication to the Delaney Family, to PGK Anthony Scuderi for his patience and great advice, for our calling post Disc Jockey PGK Dennis Winkler, and our House Chairman Tom Rea that kept us all fed, they made my time so much easier. And my gratitude to the Nominating Committee for taking on the challenging task of gathering new officers. I wish the new Grand Knight and his officers a very peaceful and productive year. My appreciation to those stepping down from their positions. Rich Tucci Corp. President, Jeff Manchisi Corp. Treasurer, Bob Yurasits Banquet Manager, and Andy Panetta Bar Chairman. These brothers dedicated numerous hours and days and some even years to serving this Council. A blessed Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to all our members and their families I wish you a pleasant summer.
Always yours in Christ, Matt Antonucci, Grand Knight
