Mark Cepon reported that postcards have been sent out to all local KSKJ members regarding our Joliet KSKJ Lodges Christmas party to be held on Dec. 3 at Haunted Trails in Joliet. Registration begins at 10:00a.m.

Joyce Vicich reported that St. Francis Lodge #29 had its Halloween party on Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Croatian Club with 37 children and 73 adults attending.

The National Basketball Tournament to be held in Cleveland on March 17–18, and the National Bowling Tournament to be held in Milwaukee on April 21–22 was discussed.

Alan Mihelich announced that St. Genevieve #108 is having a Matching Funds project called “Wreaths Across America,” and is asking for sponsors to purchase wreaths to be placed on graves at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill. Please contact any Lodge #108 officer for details.

The winners of the #240 Sports Raffle were Paul Kaiser and Jim Klick.

Our next meeting will be held Tuesday, Dec. 6, at Town & Country Lanes.

We hope and pray God will bring our men and women home from the war safely.
