Five Brother Knights from council 1491 came together last Saturday to clean up a structure that had been severely damaged by a recent fire. They worked on moving burnt and salvaged wood, clearing the concrete slab of ashes and debris. In addition, they sorted out metal, segregating iron and aluminum for recycling at Crow Wing. Jeff and Tandra expressed their gratitude for the help, with special recognition given to Doug St. Aubin, Bruce Conkin, Cody Poster, Pat Lipke, and Leonard Skillings, the Grand Knight.
The St. Francis Knights of Columbus spent a few hours picking up trash off the highway. Great job guys! Thanks for helping our community look its best.
