KNIGHTS SAY "THANK YOU"



On behalf of my fellow Knights, I would like to thank

our Immediate Past Grand Knight Joe Langhauser for his

dedication to our council this past year. Joe's leadership

enabled Breese Council #2869 to once again be recognized

as an outstanding council in Illinois.

On a personal level, I would also like to thank Joe for

his leadership and guidance. Using the knowledge Joe

has shared, I hope I can fill his shoes as a superb Grand Knight for our council. 



Thanks again Joe!
