K.O.C. fundraiser for flood victims

SOUTH OGDEN -- Knights of Columbus Council 14399 of Holy Family Catholic Church donated $2,000 to assist the Minot, N.D., Catholic schools in recovering from a devastating summer flood.

Three members of Council 14399 are former residents of the North Dakota city of roughly 40,000, which endured the worst flood in its history in late June, causing an estimated $1 billion in damage.

Grand Knight Joe Hudak said the council approved a $500 donation and issued a challenge to Knights of Columbus councils throughout the world to match it. Donations from other council members and parish members brought the total to $2,000.
