Elise Maloney wants to be a Little Sister of the Poor so as to give her life to the service of the Church and the Elderly Poor. Mother Provincial Loraine Marie Clare has already granted her permission to enter this October on the condition that Elise be free of her substantial college debt of $75,000.

New Officers Installed, Despite Rescheduling and Power Outage
posted July 17, 2010
Neither the calendar or Virginia Power could prevent Thom Galvin from becoming our new Grand Knight. The officers were installed July 15th at the council meeting. Afterwards Thom was joined by brothers in the Council Home to celebrate. Knights John O'Neill Sr. [seated, PGK], James Walthall [PGK], Vince Long [PGK, PDD] and Bob Dannemiller [Immediate PGK and current District Deputy] were on hand to toast the Grand Knight as he takes the ceremonial sip from the EDW stein. An identical stein, owned by George Saegmuller, was used as the model for the construction of the mansion's water tower in 1896.

Clarke's Pool Lounge
reviewed May, 2010
Looking for kid-friendly al-fresco dinning? Too tired to cook and not willing to change out of your flip-flops? Try Clarke's Pool Lounge in the building behind the pool -- or just follow Owen's yellow shirt.
On a recent Friday night the family went for a swim and dinner. The kids raved about their chicken strips and fries. Washed down with ketchup and lemonade they were ready for another hour at the playground. For the wife, the famous crab cake sandwich perfectly paired by Clarke's sommelier with a crisp pinot grigio. For me, the Steak and Cheese, loaded, with a side of onion rings and a Long Board draft. After some relaxing conversation in the evening air of historic Reserve Hill the kids were ready for a round of root beer floats and Sponge Bob pops.
You don't need to be a Knight or Pool Member to eat or drink at Clarke's, either outside at the Snack Bar, or inside at the always cool bar. Get the menu and more on the Clarke's Pool Lounge and Snack Bar page. |
 Please keep in your prayers our nation's veterans, many from our own Council, who have served and continue to serve. |
