The Council traveled to Southbury on Tuesday, December 20 to provide the residents of Cottage 16 their annual Christmas party.  Brother Tom Pleva issued the following report on this visit:

This years Christmas Party on December 20, 2011 was a blessed, happy and merry one.   We had 124 Knights participate in buying gifts, a new record.  The gifts were fantastic and the residents really appreciated seeing Santa and receiving their gifts.

I really am blessed to be able to participate in this event and help bring joy to a group of special people we have come to know and love.

I thank Southbury for allowing our Council to visit Cottage 16 and I thank all my Brother Knights for contributing to making this the most blessed and merry Christmas we have had in the 41 years we have been visiting Southbury.

God bless, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Tom Pleva
