Lexington Council 293

Dear Friend:

Thanks to the support of people like you, the Knights of Columbus has provided more than $500,000 in support to the victims of the flooding that devastated the area of Baton Rogue, La. Recently Supreme Knight Carl Anderson and Supreme Secretary Michael O’Connor visited the site and saw the massive amount of work that still remains to be done. Imagine if all of the items in your home were destroyed and you had to bring them to curb to be carted away. This is the situation many of these flood victims face.

Your efforts have helped these people start to put their lives back together and for that you should be proud.

The recovery is begun, but there is still much to do. Please DONATE what you can to help these efforts continue and to make a difference for these people in need.
