The 2010 Ohio Knights of Columbus State Convention
... Informative as it was memorable, the conference was held in Cleveland Ohio this year - Our Council took home three awards - Most notable is the "Pope John Paul II Award" for the Council that could meet and exceed its charitable goals placed before them. - It was collectively achieved through our Council members grass-root efforts. The award itself is based upon "criteria specific" parameters of charity, much as those our founder Fr. McGivney's set forth. We would like to think this award measures up to the standards we so admired about Pope John Paul II.
This year, we happen to be the only Council in the state of Ohio that was acknowledged with this award. It is indeed difficult to achieve. We thank all members who helped with any/all events in any way, large or small. After all, our recipients of these charities are the real winners.
