Salutes the Arlington Hts. Knights of Columbus

Posted January 29, 2011 10:00 pm

My name is Chris Beiersdorf and I am writing this because I want to give a special thanks to the Knights of Columbus of Arlington Heights.

They do so much for the community from helping the mentally handicapped and hosting a dinner dance for them each year, to helping wounded service members with an organization called Salute. Salute is run by my parents, Will and Mary Beth Beiersdorf, and it's an organization that helps injured military members and their families.

The Knights of Columbus are very generous to Salute, and also to Clearbrook. Clearbrook helps handicapped and mentally challenged individuals, and the Knights of Columbus host two dinner dances for the Clearbrook residents each year. The dinner dances give them a chance to get out and have some fun.

I am proud of the Knights of Columbus for all they do for our community and those who need help.
