Greetings –First, we want to wish everyone and their family a healthy and happy Thanksgiving. We recognize that it may look much more different than prior years, but we hope you find ways to connect with family and friends and give thanks for the blessings we have received. Our next division meeting will be held virtually this Friday, November 20at 8pm. Look for an email in the day prior to the meeting for a link to the meeting and instructions. This will likely be our approach in the near term given the rising infection rates and broad fears of a second wave of COVID.

We are off and running with our 50/50 Fall fundraiser. In excess of 100 tickets were sold quite quickly, and we’ve recently seen increasing volumes in the online option for getting tickets. Please feel free to share with family and friends. Again, thanks to Sean Walsh and team for getting us such a quick start.

As part of the September and October meetings, we welcomed eleven new brothers:

• Redmond Burke, Jr. –Pearl River
• RobertKalaf –Pearl River
• Redmond Burke, III –Pearl River
• Timothy McQuade –PearRiver
• Martin Dolphin –Orangeburg
• John Neubauer –Madison
• Andrew Gulala –Ramsey
• John O’Malley –Pearl River
• Brian Hennessy –Pearl River
• Terence O’Neill –Pear River
• BrendanKalaf –Pearl River

It’s so encouraging to see our division growing, even amid the current challenging environment.

Good & Welfare –Please pray for the repose of the souls of member John Kennedy, Mary Parnow (my mother), and Kevin Ryan, son of member Liam Ryan. Please continue to pray for Kevin Donohue, Dan Callanan and Gene Flood who are in various states of recovery. Please also keep our law enforcement professionals and military in your prayers.

Yours in Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity,

Chuck Parnow
