2. Monday, February 16th: Family Bowling at Centre Bowl we only have one lane left; however a few spots are available on other lanes. In the spirit of fraternity feel free to drop in as Centre Bowl is licensed and the council will provide a free pizza and pop for you to sit and watch the bowlers in action. Sitting space is limited for around 20 people so come early! Bowling will begin around 1:00 pm and end by 3:00 pm.

3. Friday Night for Knights at JOJO's Restaurant: Drop in for a fun time as brother Ash Pereira will be hosting a variety of games, karaoke and food for us to enjoy. This is an open invitation for all Knights, their family members and friends. This event will begin at 7:30 pm and end at 1:00 am. Again, another venue to spend some time getting to know your fellow brothers in a secure environment.

4. 2nd & 3rd Degrees: Brothers are encouraged to attend these degree sessions as observers. If you are a 1st Degree member and would like to take your 2nd Degree, please call me at 905-507-8773 ASAP. This degree will be hosted at St. Patrick's Church located at 921 Flagship Drive, Mississauga. Candidates must arrive at 2:00 pm and the degree begins at 3:00 pm. You should be done by 4:15 pm. On Saturday, February 21st our council will be hosting a 3rd Degree Exemplification; this will be a great opportunity for all 2nd Degree members to complete their journey to Knighthood in the 3rd Degree. Please contact our Membership Director, Bro. Alan at 647-988-3557, or 905-607-3557 so we can make the necessary arrangements. Remember both degrees are free of any charges as the council picks up any cost associated with these degrees.

5. Sunday, February 23rd: This is our regular 1st Degree Exemplification which is held at St. Francis Xavier Church every fourth Sunday of the month. Please show our degree team your support by attending this degree. We are always looking for members from our council to be observers.
