C & B = Charitable and Benevolen

C & B = Charitable and Benevolent
The money raised is for Charity.

Our 2007 goal is 311 C & B books.

Not a lot for some councils, but a lot for 311, which had been a quiet council for a number of years. Our resurgence and growing roster should make 311 books - more than double last year - a somewhat easy goal to reach. But we will not reach it without your efforts, brother Knights.

Knights of Ossining Council 311 are working to expand our service to at home and in the greater community; C & B allows us to do that. C & B allows the New York State Council and Supreme to do charity work in our home state and throughout the world.

November 18, 2007 - Message from C&B Chairman, Mark Lederman:
Brother Knights,
     We have sold 290 C and B books for a total of over 3600 dollars.
We need 21 more books to meet our goal.
     Thanksgiving is coming up and if we all ask our family members we should easily meet our goal. Since the window is now narrowing please send proceeds and books to Kevin Gaffney ASAP.
     Since September, we delivered checks of $500 each to Life Project for Africa to build and support hospitals in Tanzania and the Midnight Run to support the homeless. And we plan to do more!
     Have a blessed Thanksgiving and thank you for making this years C and B drive a tremendous success.
We truly did the Lord’s work by giving the proceeds to those in need!!!

KNIGHTS: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED.

There is never enough money around to do the charitable work we want to do. We Knights are never short of great ideas or the desire to help, however, we mostly do not have the funds to actually accomplish all of those wonderful ideas. And that is where C & B comes in.

As a Knight your help is needed selling C & B books. You can sell a book of 14 chances to win as much as $25,000 for only $10.00. Surely that is not too much for your neighbors. Tell them how worthy the cause is, how much good work we do, especially right here in Ossining.

This year there are a total of $50,000.00 in prize money; a grand prize of $25,000.00, 2nd prize $10,000.00, 3rd prize $5,000.00 prizes, plus TEN $1,000.00 prizes.

The C & B program has been around for many years, and has been the source of funding many, many worthy projects. Projects that impact individuals in our town and beyond. A number of our Knights are working hard to help Fr. Stephen Mosha and his Life Project for Africa organization, which is directly helping save lives and educate children.

Brother Knight Mark Lederman is running the C&B program this year, contact him via-mail .

It is your turn at bat, you're up.

Make us proud.
