CRESCENS LODGE
DONATES TO FIREFIGHTERS!
Crescens Lodge #33 started it's 22nd Holiday Festival in
mid October with a two day bazaar, pork Bar B Q, Chili Cook Off and Car
Show. The event was the biggest it has ever been with a record
number of chili cookers, a record number of bazaar displayers and a
spectacular 114 car/truck show! The kitchen ran out of food.
Many items had been donated by our friend at Walgreens. Other
items were sold to us at a reduced price or donated by Kroger.
Thanks to their generosity and the hard work of the New Castle
Firefighters Union we were able to raise a record amount for their
Children's Christmas Fund. We especially thank Knight Dave Cook
for all of his hard work in spearheading the efforts of the firefighters
and for the support of the firefighters at the event. We were
proud to invite Chief Jeff Murray and a contingent of firefighters to
the post parade dinner where the official presentation was made of
$1,600. That was an increase of $600 from 2010. SANTA DELIVERS FOR PEYTON MANNING HOSPITAL!! When Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived into town Saturday in the Knights of Pythias Christmas Parade, they proudly delivered over $600 worth of toys on behalf of Crescens Lodge #33 and Brotherhood Lodge #3-5-7. The toys were delivered to Grand Chancellor Steven Breedlove and Grand Chief Stephanie McKee in support of their programs for Peyton Manning Children's Hospital. Needless to say, a sleigh full of toys will go a long way to make a lot of sick kids happy at Christmas!
__________________________________________________________________ The 22nd Annual Knights of Pythias All American
Christmas Parade stepped off Saturday afternoon, November 19th in New
Castle with Grand Marshal Anna Goodwin leading the way. High
School bands from Tipton and Knightstown plus the singing group The
Twilights thrilled the hundreds of spectators who braved the
unpredictable weather of the day. The giant balloons battled the
wind, the race cars roared, the floats were beautiful and even our
Supreme Chancellor was on hand to make this parade a great success.
Santa and Mrs. Claus delivered over $600 in toys to Grand Chancellor
Steven Breedlove and Grand Chief Stephanie McKee for the Peyton Manning
Children's Hospital courtesy of Crescens Lodge #33 and Brotherhood Lodge
#3-5-7. A wonderful meal was prepared post parade which was
enjoyed by a room full of Pythians and guests including a contingent
from the New Castle Firefighters. Prior to the dinner, the members
of Crescens Lodge presented the firefighter's Childrens Christmas Fund
with a check for $1,600 which was raised at the recent bazaar, chili
cookoff and car show. Supreme Chancellor Ed Wright assisted
in the presentation. We were honored to have he and Past Supreme
Chief Joyce here as our guests for the weekend! This was
Pythianism at it's highest! LATEST FAMILY OUTING ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS!! The latest Family Fun Outing saw another good crowd for this monthly function created by the Sisters of District #3 and the Knights of District #4. It has proved to be a very fun event as it gives us all a chance to "catch up" on each other once a month and a reason to get together somewhere in east central Indiana! We met at the W. G. Smith Auditorium in Memorial Park in New Castle on October 16th. We met earlier at 2:00 pm due to the timing of the days activities. This was the start of Crescens Lodge's Holiday Festival and featured a Fall bazaar, chili cook-off and giant car show. The bazaar filled the auditorium with vendors with all kinds of things from homemade fudge to knives to candles to purses to handmade Christmas items to an array of items from the 'Tis The Season Gift Shop and some of Sherry's beautiful fall florals. The chili cook-off had a record 9 contestants with Grand Prelate Richard Neal taking home top honors and the $50 1st prize. The food sales went very well all weekend with the kitchen being almost totally cleaned out! The car show was absolutely awesome with an all time record of 114 cars and trucks registering! This is a good reason to take a road trip for the day and come and have some fun and share some Pythian fellowship! We hope all Knights and Sisters and their Families and potential members had a good time! we thank you for the support of the New castle Firefighter's Children's Christmas Fund. Next outing will be Wednesday, November 2nd at 6:30 pm at the Sirloin Stockade in Muncie. As we always say... Be there or be square!! ________________________________________________________________________________________ ANNUAL CONVENTIONS

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
DINNER/DANCE IS AWESOME!! -
The 4th annual
Volunteer of the Year Dinner & Dance is now history as it was held on Sunday, April 1,
2007.
WE WERE CERTAINLY HONORED TO HAVE SUPREME CHANCELLOR
DAVID MEAD AND HIS LOVELY LADY NANCY IN ATTENDANCE!! Some 60
Knights, Sisters and guests attended this gala affair! The tables
were adorned with blue, yellow, red & white table covers. They had
baskets of flowers in lodge colors and candles burning in lodge colors.
PDSC Sir Dennis Adams led the group in a very moving invocation which
incorporated thoughts about Palm Sunday and Holy Week. A delicious
buffet dinner was spread by Julie Miller Catering and enjoyed by all.
PC Karl Gregg played wonderful dinner music during our meal.
Following dinner, PDSC Adams introduced Knight and Sister dignitaries as
well as the Officers of Crescens Lodge #33. He then introduced the
2004 Volunteer of the Year Sir Jess Adams and the 2005 Volunteer of the
Year PGC Richard Messer, who took over as Master of Ceremonies.
The lights in the room were extinguished, a spot light came on, and our
great country's flag appeared for presentation. A very stirring
rendition of the National Anthem, sang by Celeste Bramlett, was played.
Following the presentation of the colors, PGC Messer explained how
difficult it was to select the Volunteer of the year. Assisting in
the selection of the candidate from the crowd was PC Jodi Goff of Venus
Temple #50. PC Richard Neal was selected from the crowd and given
a standing ovation. He was presented with a beautiful plaque, a
balloon bouquet and a special gold coin from Supreme Chancellor David
Mead. In a surprise move by the lodge, PDSC Sir Dennis Adams was
honored for his many years of service and dedication to the lodge and to
the Order. He was presented with a beautiful "Lifetime
Volunteerism" plaque and his wife, PGC/GS Maridene with a lovely corsage. Supreme Chancellor David
Mead also presented Brother Adams with one of his special gold coins.
Both Brothers gave short talks and thanked the lodge for the honors
bestowed. But the evening was FAR from over! Supreme
Chancellor David Mead addressed the assembly with a very nice talk about
Pythianism. He also spoke on his Honor Lodge Program. He
then surprised us by naming CRESCENS LODGE #33 as one of his HONOR
LODGES FOR THE UNITED STATES!!!!! WOW!!! What an
HONOR!!! We were blown away , and at the same time VERY
humbled and HONORED! THANK YOU SUPREME CHANCELLOR! Following photo
sessions, music and fellowship was enjoyed by all. It was a GREAT
evening!!
