Patchogue Knights of Columbus, Council 725, are Celebrating their 105th Year of Service to our Community.
*
Most of us are too busy trying to “make a living,” and consequently do not have the time to pay attention, to what is going on around us. The Patchogue Council of the K of C, has been giving to our Community for over a Century, but have received very little credit for their generosity.

In 1961 the Patchogue K of C, purchased the old Patchogue Roller Rink, on Railroad Avenue; and turned it into a "World Class Catering Hall." I'm sure that you remember Dominick Carrabus; he was the manager of the that facility.

*

The hall was beautiful, and everyone wanted to rent the "K of C Hall," for their functions. The hall was considered to be a status symbol! They did make "tons of money" by running that catering hall!

*

Guess what they did with all of the money?

*

They gave it away to charity! This is beyond belief!

*
The residents of Patchogue Village, are and have been very concerned with "Quality Of Life" Issues; the K of C has been doing something about it for over a hundred years!

*

Kudos to the Patchogue Knights of Columbus, Council 725, for their generosity to our community!

About two weeks ago, this Rainbow suddenly appeared over our village. This Rainbow appeared and disappeared in just a ten minute time span. I wasn't the only resident taking Photos.

*

I cannot remember ever seeing a Rainbow that was as beautiful as this one!
