ALBEMARLE — Knights of Columbus Council 10495 recently donated $1,240 in L.A.M.B. funds to the Stanly County School System’s Exceptional Children’s Program. Pictured are L.A.M.B. chairman Don Barker and Adria Speights, district coordinator.
The L.A.M.B. (Least Among My Brethren) Foundation of North Carolina raises money to support or-ganizations that assist people in North Carolina with intellectual disabilities.
These funds come from a number of sources, such as corporate and individual donations and special events as the Belk Dept. Store Charity Sale events. Most of the money is raised by members of the Knights of Columbus throughout the state.
In addition to the Exceptional Children’s Program, Council 10495 has also financially supported the Special Olympics, Monarch, Life Span and GHA Autism Supports.

HUNTERSVILLE —Two students from St. Mark Catholic School crowned Mary May 13.
The second-graders Hannah Hoover and Johnathan Kelly-Bleiler, and their teachers, Lisa Yelanich and Stacy Desourmeaux, were able to come to the school to honor Mary with a floral crown.
They represented the rest of the school, who was unable to attend.
Hannah and Johnathan came dressed in their First Communion clothing. They are still waiting to receive the sacrament due to the COVID-19 restrictions that are in place.
Father Alfonso Gamez led the prayer service accompanied by seminarians Kevin Tran and Camilo Salas.
Principal Julie Thornley and Father John Putnam were also in attendance.
