Knights to sponsor
dinners for Iraq, Afghanistan vets
The St. Agnes Cathedral Knights of Columbus and The Carltun at Eisenhower Park have teamed up to offer a “Welcome Home/Appreciation Dinner For Two.” This dinner is being offered to St. Agnes parishioners and/or Rockville Centre residents who have served military duty in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11/2001. The Carltun will provide a dinner certificate, which can be used at the veteran’s discretion.
Thanks to the commitment and generosity of the Knights of Columbus and The Carltun, these brave men and women who have served their country in its time of need, putting themselves in harm’s way, will receive the tribute they deserve. This dinner is a small token of appreciation for their dedication and service.
