Summer Camp
Beaver Dam Knights of Columbus donate $500 to local citizen in need. If you ever wondered what happened to the money raised from your donations to the "Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive" this past spring, here is just one example. The $500 enables Mary Bruessel to attend summer camp designed for the intellectually disabled. I will assure you based on meeting Mary and her delightful reaction to receiving the donation, that your generous change and dollars are MOST apprecjated!
