The Knights are marking the occasion with an open-house Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the K.C. Hall, located at 308 E. Ninth.

In addition to cake and refreshments, the meeting room at the hall will be filled with a 100 years worth of memorabilia including the original charter from 1906. The event is open to the public.

Several K of C members have spent the past few months preparing for the 100th anniversary by re-reading one-hundred years worth of meeting minutes. The information gleaned from those books has proven entertaining -- to say the least.

For example, publicity director Bob Burns has learned that the early meetings, circa 1911, included a monthly expense for a box of oysters and a box of cigars.

...I wish our meeting were like that :o)
