Calm before the storm.  Fr. Rudy Rosales and Frank Pierson grab a minute to talk to diners before the big rush at the Knights of Columbus’ taco dinner last Friday.

   The Knights of Columbus  are grateful for the tremendous local support  for their taco dinner last Friday to benefit People With Intellectual Disabilities (PID) according to chairman, Frank Gonzales.

   “We tripled our success from last year,”  he said. 

   PID funds will help the nearby ARC program in Kearny.  A portion of the funds raised will also benefit Arizona Special Olympics according to Gonzales.

   “Fr. Rudy and his visiting relatives from Eloy sat in the San Manuel home stands, but it didn’t help the Miners enough last Friday,” Gonzales said. 

    “I graduated from Eloy, but I’m a Miner now,” Fr. Rudy Rosales said.
