(Le Mars) — The Le Mars chapter of the Knights of Columbus presented a check to Life Skills Training Center during their breakfast held Sunday morning. The total of $37,088 and 41 cents was the amount raised from last fall’s K-C phone-a-thon. The amount represents 90 percent of the total raised, as the remaining ten percent goes to help support Iowa’s Special Olympics. Justin Freking, the president of the Knights of Columbus and Bob Peutz, the chairman of the phone-a-thon presented the check to Life Skills Training Center executive director Rose Nicols and Marketing and Development Director Shelly Thomson.
Santa Claus was on hand during the Knights of Columbus breakfast to listen to children’s Christmas wishes. The children had the opportunity to make crafts, and face painting was also offered to the children.
