Assembly 2563 placed flags on graves of Veterans

Worthy Brother Sir Knights -
On July 2, 2025, a member of Knights of Columbus Assembly 2563 placed flags on the graves of the veterans buried at St. Clare's Cemetary.  It is the Assembly's way of honoring the Patriots who served our country.  Nearly all of them served in one or more conflicts.  One veteran served in World War 2, Korean war, and the Viet Nam war. 

May their souls rest in peace in the arms of God!

Fraternally,
Rick Graff, DD-22

Worthy Brother Christopher - Last Saturday, Nov. 2, 2025, St. Francis of Assisi Council 11746, Blairsville, GA in conjunction with the American Red Cross, conducted a Blood Drive at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Marian Hall, 3717 GA 515E, Blairsville, GA 30512.   30 units of blood were collected, which exceeded our goal of 25 units.  I am the current Blood Drive Leader for the event.  I have attached three photos of the event, at the request of Worthy State Advocate, Michael Basak, who stopped by with his family to see how the drive was going along, and to visit his father's grave site at the church's cemetery located next to Marian Hall. Should you have any questions or desire additional information, my contact information is below. Fraternally, Rick Graff, DD22 hydraglide1951@icloud.com dd22@gakofc.org 706-970-5696
