To the Editor,
Masconomo Council 1232 Manchester by-the Sea Knights of Columbus recently successfully concluded its annual fall fundraiser. That signature Council program supports a wide range of charitable activities for Cape Ann and beyond, of which Council 1232 can be justifiably proud.
Grand Knight Stephen Kuhn said, “The generosity of parishioners from The Visitation Parish, comprised of Sacred Heart, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and St John’s, Essex, as well as that of well-wishers from throughout Cape Ann and beyond enabled the Council to raise substantial funds this year. That will allow us to strengthen our charitable outreach.”
“Our fundraising success is attributable both to the support of the raffle by Cape Ann residents and to the generosity of Cape Ann and North Shore restaurants and businesses that have supported the raffle with goods and services since its inception. This giving program would not exist without the loyal support of our contributing businesses.
“We are indebted to the following area businesses for their commitment to the community and Masconomo Council 1232 Knights of Columbus:

Grand Knight Kuhn emphasized Masconomo Council 1232’s drive to raise funds to support worthy causes is a group effort with every member fully engaged. He called out two brother knights for special attention and thanks for the fundraiser’s success.
“Richard Sullivan is the catalyst, and the inspiration for this fundraiser’s resilience. We owe Richard a debt of thanks especially in a time of personal adversity.”
“Until he was sidelined by serious illness this year, Tony Bullock was a tireless fundraiser on behalf of the Knights’ Raffle. He was a force of nature promoting the Knights. It’s a pleasure to see him now recovered and in good health.”
