2021 - 2022

Zach Bevins

Brother Zach Bevins was named 2021/2022 Knight of the Year for his many years as the Council 2117 grill master and chef. This past year included preparing pulled pork, chicken and racks of ribs for the summer BBQ fundraiser, grilling for farewell receptions and the officer installation.

Zach was also key to our beer sales success at Greentree where he was tap master for the entire day at the busiest booth at the event.

On top of his cooking and tapping efforts, Zach generously donated a large space in his shop to assemble and store the Nativity Set for last Christmas’ successful fundraiser.

Finally, Zach stepped up to be the Presenting Sponsor of the upcoming 2022 Summer BBQ where his significant financial support of the event virtually assures us a successful outcome for our event featured charities.

We are fortunate to have such an ambitious and generous Knight as our brother…
Zach Bevins was most certainly the Council 2117 Knight of the Year!

Ray Buehler

Brother Ray Buehler was named 2020/21 Knight of the Year in recognition of his many efforts in developing and leading the programs designed to reach out and involve members and, most notably, for launching the Drive Thru BBQ fundraiser for Sts Teresa & Bridget food pantry when the pandemic restrictions made holding in person activities nearly impossible.

Despite the obstacles presented by the pandemic, Ray was able to organize a COVID-safe event which produced delicious BBQ and significant funds for the food pantry.

Congrats to Ray Buehler for this well deserved recognition!
