The public is cordially invited to this gala event. In the Derby spirit, attending Ladies (and Gentlemen) are invited to wear their most gorgeous bonnets and enter the prestigious “Bonnet Contest”. There will be a cash bar starting at 5 p.m. (watch the Kentucky Derby on a large screen). Following the Derby a buffet dinner will be served and the Knights will begin the first of ten Horse Races and announce the award for “Best Bonnet”. A huge number of door prizes will be handed out and fantastic gifts will be raffled. Admission is $20 which includes the scrumptious buffet. All funds raised will be used for local charities and good causes such as: Burnley Workshop, The Arc of Pennsylvania, Shepherd’s Maternity House, the Special Olympics, C.A.M.E. Food Pantry, Barrett Paradise Friendly Library and many others. PLAN NOW to attend, to have a good time, to do a good deed, and to wager on a good horse!

Live Nativity Dress Rehearsal & Cast Christmas Party - on Sunday, December 20th our Knights treated the cast of the Parish Nativity Play to a Cast Christmas Party. The budding thespians feasted on pizza and soda, and were delighted with the bags of presents left by Santa for the Knights to distribute. Click here for pictures of the rehearsal and the Christmas Party.
Burnley Workshop Christmas Party - on Friday, December 11th several regional Knight's Councils joined in putting on a Christmas party for the employees of the Burnley Workshop. This heart warming experience is a great way to welcome the Christmas season. Here is a story written by one of our Council member's wives about last year. (By way of follow-up, when asked if he was spoiling his mother this year, John responded "Well, my Dad sure is."). Click HERE for pictures of this year's party.
