Council History
Below you can explore the history of Council 1033 through various resources. We are adding more as we make history! Some of the materials you can download and use for nonprofit, charitable purposes consistent with Knights of Columbus ethics. However, we require you ask permission before using them for any other purpose, as many are not the property of Council 1033 but have been graciously lent by friends and supporters. Please respect their wishes.
Centennial Book
Ed Lemke, a faithful member for decades, compiled an extraordinary summary of our council's hundred-year history as a souvenir for our centennial celebration. Not only does it give an idea of our century of work, but it also demonstrates the selfless dedication of Ed--who has been an irreplaceable participant for at least half that time yet steadfastly refuses special recognition!
The downloads may be easier to read for those who have difficulty with small type, but the files are large because of all the pictures and may take significant time to download. You can right-click on a file to save a copy on your computer.
