K OF C DONATES TO TEANECK ARMORY FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP
Township of Washington, NJ, October 22 – Knights of Columbus Council #5427
invited representatives of the Teaneck Armory Family Support Group to speak on
September 14 about how their organization assists the families of our troops in
the armed services who are in need.
Sergeants Minnie Hiller and Janis
Shaw and Chief Warrant Officer Stephan Gaunt briefly outlined their nearly 120
years of military service in theaters all over the world. CWO Stephan
Gaunt then spoke on the purpose of this family assistance program.
Families of service personnel not living on a military base often face monetary
hardships and may be in short supply of food for the table. Also eligible
for help are men and women who have had military service, but need a helping
hand. What
branch they served in makes no difference; only a military ID is needed, no
other questions asked. After these brief remarks the Knights of Mother
Seton Council in the Township of Washington presented a $250 check and made a
commitment that this was not the last time assistance would be offered.

HAILSTORM AND FLOOD DAMAGE ORDEAL IS OVER
Township of
Washington, NJ, October 6 –
The
hailstorm of last June did significant damage to area homes. One family in
Washington Township was hit particularly hard. The hail and resulting flood
broke the garage door and flooded the garage and basement. The family car was
totaled, the heating system was lost, and sections of sheetrock had to be
replaced. Unfortunately, insurance did not cover everything. When Mother Seton
Council Knights of Columbus in Washington Township heard of this catastrophe,
one if its members, Shawn Cowie, enlisted the help of his colleagues in the
Pascack Valley Master Plumbers Association to lend a hand in bringing the
damaged home back to normal. The John M. Hartel Company donated a new heating
system and Shawn’s company, Loretto Plumbing, donated other material. Shawn and
fellow plumbers Drew Breitenbach and Tom Myack installed the new heating system.
Other friends and neighbors have also helped with the needed repairs. The family
thanks the Hartel Company, The Knights of Columbus (and Shawn Cowie in
particular), and all the others who so generously donated their time and talent.
