Memorial Day is fast approaching. The Council will once again be participating in the West Milford Township Memorial Day Parade. We still need someone to organize the Memorial Day Parade activity for the Council. Please contact GK Chuck Carbone at chuckerbone@optonline.net if you can help. It would be greatly appreciated.
The Council will also be holding its annual picnic at the Koch hall after the parade on May 30, 2016 at 2:00pm. Hamburgers, hot dogs, beer and wine will be provided. If you are coming, please bring a side dish for others to share. This event is open to all members and their families. It's a good time for all of us to get together before we break for the summer months. Please respond to PGK Ed Viellette at edmobr@optonline.net to let him know if you are coming so we can get the right amount of food to cover everyone and prepare for the day’s events.
