The Holy Cross Council No. 9969 Knights of Columbus of Moorpark would like to thank all the citizens of Moorpark who supported our annual Tootsie Roll Drive the weekend of Oct. 18 and 19.

Every year, on the third weekend in October, the Knights throughout the United States volunteer their time to raise money to help the mentally disabled people in the U.S., California, and our community. Because of your generosity, the Knights raised over $1770 that goes directly to the mentally disabled people of Ventura County (ARC).

We also would like to thank Vons, Albertsons, and Ralphs supermarkets for their support in letting us collect at their stores. Without their help it would be a much greater task.

The Knights will also be having their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive the weekend of Nov. 22 and 23 at the local markets. All collections go directly to the Moorpark Food Pantry for distribution to the needy of our community. Please support in helping the needy people of our community.

Thank you for your continued support. Tony Nelson Moorpark
