SAVE A SEAT ... SAVE LIVES
Protection of the unborn is a touchstone of the Knights of Columbus. This is our chance to help protect those lives.

We are hosting a Private Pre-Release Screening of the movie “Unplanned” - the story of Abby Johnson’s transformation from Planned Parenthood director to ProLife activist.

When: March 27th 2019 at 7 pm
Where: Regal Hacienda Theater, Dublin
Tickets: $15

Important: We have reserved a 289-seat theater for this private event. It is not listed or advertised anywhere online. If you want to participate, you have to reserve a seat with Nick Libby - you can not buy tickets for this private Knights of Columbus pre-screening event at the theater.

The goal of having you attend this movie is simple: This a fundraising event to support the purchase of an Ultrasound Machine for the  Support Circle Pregnancy Clinic  of Oakland. If we can help raise half the amount of money required to purchase the ultrasound, the Supreme Council, through their Ultrasound Initiative, will match the funds to complete the purchase. We want all knights in Tri Valley to view this movie and help raise the money needed to purchase this ultrasound machine!

Executive Director of Support Circle, Albert Lee, will be our special guest. After the film, Albert will give a brief presentation on Support Circle, their work, and their need for an ultrasound machine.
Nick will send payment instructions to RSVP's for the event.

We will accept donations after the event. If you want to contribute now or cannot make it to the movie, contact Nick at the link above to arrange a donation. 
Red, Blue and Gold - 4/26
Join our many fellow Livermore Knights and Knights from around the TriValley for a evening honoring our first responders on April 26th. At $55 per ticket, this is a great deal for a dinner celebration at Blackhawk Country club. You will love it, ask anyone who has gone in years past!
Suggestion: This would be a great place for all of our new 4th degree Knights to get together and show support those who keep our communities safe.
4th Degree Exemplification - 4/27
Calling all 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree Knights! You may have seen the Catholic Voice article this week? The Rohnert Park ceremony was fun and moving. If you want to join your 4th degree brothers, let us know! The next 4th degree exemplification is scheduled for 4/27 in Sacramento. You can progress through the degrees, learn the important lessons taught in the ceremonies and become Sir Knights in our order.
Hold the Date - May 4th Retreat
Brother Mike Taranowski has arranged a retreat for May 4th. It will be at Mission San Jose and is shaping up to be a wonderful date. Mark your calendar and watch for details soon.
RCCBB Update

The 'Word' from our Sponsor

"All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."                             
Ecclesiastes 3:20
Did you hear the one ...
Submitted by a Brother Knight...
Q: Who were the three other people in the tomb with Lazarus?

A: I don't know either, but there must have been three because Jesus said, " Lazarus, come fourth!"
