Did you ever noticed the help we receive when we run our pancake breakfasts? You can be sure and find
Boy Scout Troop 54 serving food and cleaning tables. On June 8th during the troop court of honor ceremony - our Grand
Knight presented Troop Leader Bob Sammons with a certificate and a gift from the Council. Pictured below is Bob, GK
Symes and Eagle scout Samuel Zadrozny.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our web site. We are a council that is experiencing

The Knights of Columbus Council #6862 of Ballston Lake, NY has earned the distinction of a Double Star
Council for the 2006-2007 fraternal year. The organization’s headquarters, located in New Haven, Connecticut, made
the announcement. The award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of membership recruitment (reaching 200% of
quota, thereby making it a “double star”) and retention, promotion of the fraternal insurance program, and sponsorship
of service-oriented activities. The award was presented to the membership by State District Deputy Dennis Taylor at a
special ceremony held on November 6, 2007 at Our Lady of Grace Parish.
The Double Star award was graciously received by Past Grand Knight (PGK), Steve C. Troiano on behalf
of the entire council. PGK Troiano was grateful for the recognition the council received and thanks council members
for all their efforts to make this possible. The council also received similar recognition from New York State Council
with the State Star Council Award for 2006-2007. Pictured above from left to right is Grand Knight Vernon Symes, New
York State District Deputy Dennis Taylor and PGK Steve C. Troiano
