The Council grew from 80 men to 90 through the year. They meet monthly on third Thursday of each month to plan the good deeds that benefit the community, council, parish, youth or the Roman causes. At year-end, the council accumulated over 600 hours of service, related to these events. This does not account for the additional hours and efforts extended for general work that the council performs to remain a sustainable force.
