The highlight of our year may just be our Italian Night Party which was held in October.  It was held for the third time in the Marian Room and a great time was had by all.  All of the food was donated and cooked by our very own Excutive Chef Gino Barbuti.  We had to cutoff the reservations at 80 persons.  Many thanks to all who worked tirelessly to put this together and especially Gino.  Please visit his outstanding restaurant in NYC, "La Boite en Bois".

In April we attended the Annual Nassau Chapter Charity Ball, held again at Leonard's Palazzo in Great Neck.  The Annual event and fundraiser is now named "The Ted Newkirk Nassau Chapter Charity Ball"  in honor of the Council's PGK & the Chapter's Past President, who passed away in 2023.

We had a very good year selling the NYS Council C&B Chance books. We were able to sell the chances after mass again but the membership really stepped up and purchased more chance books than usual. Unfortunately we were unable to send a team to the C&B Bowling Tournament due to illness, injuries and unavailabilty. We totaled 500 books and Doubled our Bonus.

Our “Keep Christ in Christmas” car magnets  sold over  9,600 magnets to our full box purchasers (other councils) and individual sales (eBay).  Our website, www.kofc2122.org made a difference as we accepted credit card and Paypal payments which enabled our shipping department to ship the orders the next day. We look forward to another banner year in 2026.

We now sell them in Spanish.

We sent a Foursome to the Nassau Chapter Golf Tournament. This year for the first time it was held on the North Shore at Harbor Links in Port Washington.

The council supported the Parish Blood Drives.

Our third year program from Supreme was a resounding success, called ASAP (Aid & Support After Pregnancy) where in the month of of October we collected Diapers and Baby supplies. We also raised $2,000 which was presented to the Gianna Center.  Our Annual Coat Drive happened in November and generated nearly 400 coats! Our Annual Shoe and Sock Drive was an overwhelming success with boxes and boxes of shoes delivered to the INN in Hempstead and bags of socks donated to Paul Miller of St. Ann's in Newark, NJ.

The Annual Christmas Party had to be postponed due to inclement weather and will now be rescheduled for January 2026.

Our Degree Team was very busy this past Spring welcoming 11 new members to our council and therefore earning STAR Council Award.  The Old Degrees are now combined into one single degree that is completed in under 30 minutes.

PGK Thomas Mayerhauser became our District 16 Deputy for his second stint as District Deputy.  The District comprises the councils of Port Washington, Norton Council in Glen Cove, San Patricio in Glen Cove, Mackay Council in Roslyn, and Bevins Council at the Merchant Marine Academy.

Anthony Racioppo was elected our Grand Knight in June and takes over for Mark Sauvigne who served the council with honor and enthusiasm for the past three years.
