MAKING A DIFFERENCE. The Knights of Columbus recently raised funds to benefit worthy causes by holding an oil raffle. Pictured is Knights of Columbus Committee Chairman Bob McKenna, left, handing a check for $1,000 to support fuel assistance efforts to Lorna Ryan, director of the York Community Service Association, while former Grand Knight Gary E. Smith and Grand Knight John Flanagan look on. Ryan said the need for fuel assistance is out there because, even though fuel costs have come down, they are still high and by this time of year many families have gone through their first tank of oil already. "People who have fallen on hard times and we just give them a boost," she said. For more information on fuel assistance, contact YCSA at 363-5504. See next week's edition for a special feature on the Knights of Columbus, the work they do and charities they support.
