Exemplifying “Fraternity and Unity”, he continually volunteers his time and efforts for the good of the Knights. As Financial Secretary, all reports, financial records and other Council requirements are completed in a timely and exemplary manner. He and Ann were chosen Council Family of the Year for 2009-2010. Our Council could not nominate a better Knight of the Year than Gerald Krawczynski
