25th Anniversary Dinner KOC 9053 -
Preliminary Planning
In October 1985, a group of men got together and finalized the charter for the Knights of Columbus
Ocean City Council #9053. In the succeeding years these men built the Council Home and the fraternal
organization we currently enjoy. In their honor and for all our brother members over these twenty-five
years we intend to celebrate with a gala anniversary dinner in October 2010.
To keep the cost down we plan to have the dinner at a hall in one of the following: the Council
Home, Holy Savior, St. Andrews or Most Blessed Sacrament depending on the number of participants.
If you plan to attend, please send a $10.00 deposit per person to the Council Home by March 15th 2010,
so we can determine the number of guests and plan accordingly. Make the check out to KOC 9053 and
send check to:
- KOC Council 9053
- 9901 Coastal Highway.

Help Haiti through Catholic Relief Services
Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic

buildings."
"I've been in earthquakes before, but I've never felt anything like this," Zelenka said, speaking from
the city of two million people. "This was a major hit. And it was direct. We should be prepared for
thousands and thousands of dead and injured."
To donate, please call 1-877-HELP-CRS or text "RELIEF" to 30644. You can also donate online at www.crs.org
or send a check to Catholic Relief Services, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21203-7090. In the memo portion
