The Holmen Knights of Columbus held our final highway cleanup of the
year on Sunday, September 24th. We met in the church parking lot at
1:30 to get our instructions from Jerry Glentz along with our vests and
equipment. We then drove to our spots and proceeded to clean the high-
way. Afterwards, we met at Features to have some pizza and beverages
while watching the Packers vs. Bengals football game. The road is clean
and the Packers won, thanks to the hard work of the KCs and families.
COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER 9, 2017 … Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the historic voyage and landing
of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492. The anniversary of his landing in the New World was first for-
mally celebrated in 1792, by the Columbian Order (Society of St. Tammany) in New York City. Today, Columbus Day is cele-
brated on the second Monday in October each year. This means the date changes each year and this year it is on Monday, October
9th. In Christopher Columbus’s day, scholars knew that the world was round; the fact dated from the ancient Greeks. People
assumed that a ship traveling west from Europe would sail clear through to Asia. However, many believed that such a westward
journey was impossible. Columbus, an Italian, was convinced otherwise and persuaded King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of
Spain to sponsor his exploration and search for riches. On October 12, 1492, Columbus landed on a small island in the Bahamas,
convinced that he had reached his destination of Asia. Although he was not the first European to discover the Americas (Vikings,
among others, had visited before), his journey sparked enthusiasm for European exploration of the hemisphere. The first celebra-
tion of Columbus’s landing in the New World took place in 1792. It was organized by the Columbian Order (Society of St. Tam-
many) in New York City. In 1937, the occasion was declared a national holiday by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Columbus Day
has been observed on the second Monday of October since 1971. Many celebrate Italian-American heritage on this day. The ob-
servance of Columbus Day is not without controversy. European exploration brought disease and devastation to the lives of the
indigenous people of the Americas. Some areas of the United States choose to honor Native American culture on this day. History

America. Columbus represents many early explorers and dreamers who reached for opportunity and not only dreamed, but acted.

FYI The Corcoran Friends and Family have set up a GoFund me page. A Go-Fund me is a crowd sharing site where people can raise money for various pro-jects or needs. The Corcorans goal is $10,000.00. More information can be

Bobbi Corcoran was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer at the end of July. While
their first course of action was to do a surgery to remove the visible tumors,
there were too many tumors that had spread throughout her abdomen and onto
her heart and lungs and it wasn't safe to start with surgery. They started her on
nine consecutive weeks of chemotherapy, with the hopes it would minimize the
tumors to the point it was safe to operate. Bobbi has been incredibly strong throughout her treatment, continuing
to work 40+ hours a week, despite her aggressive treatment and the toll it was taking on her body. However, as the
incredibly invasive and extensive surgery draws near, she will be unable to work for approximately 12 weeks post-
surgery, after which they will start another nine weeks of chemo. The loss of a second income with no end in sight
to medical bills will most certainly cause financial strain on their family. This is a family that would never ask any-
one for “help” from others, but would be the very first to give everything they have to help others. Let’s show them
how much they mean to all of us.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov-
erned….”
