Business meetings are held once a month on the second Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m. All members in good standing are invited -- and encouraged! -- to attend. We usually serve an informal dinner starting at 6:30 for only $5.

Our lounge is regularly open Thursday and Friday evenings for members in good standing and their guests. It also opens for special events and get-togethers, which are typically announced on our website and Facebook page. 

Our very active, award-winning* Council hosts and participates in a large number of activities throughout the year. Typical annual activities include: Lenten Fish Fry Fridays, Men's Beefsteak Dinner, adult and childrens' Christmas parties, the Carmel Holiday on the Lake / Parade of Lights / Our Christmas Village, Annual Dinner Dance and Awards Ceremony, Oktoberfest,  N. Westchester / Putnam St. Patrick's Day Parade and reception, annual golf outing, casino trips, summer and winter blood drives, Comedy Dinner Theater nights, construction of the St. James church nativity scene, the St. James parish feast, charity fundraisers, fishing trips, family barbecues, football Sunday and playoff game get-togethers, and much more!

As charity is the first principle of our Order, our Council is involved deeply in numerous efforts to raise funds, collect food and clothing, award scholarships, and do service projects for our Parish, and for national, state, and local charities. We rally behind our police, firefighters, and military when they are injured or fall in the line of duty, and we offer support to their families as well. We proudly support Special Olympics, the American Wheelchair Mission, veterans groups, the Stephen P. Driscoll Memorial Pipe Band, the Putnam County Humane Society, the Coats for Kids program, Carmel schools and sports programs, Make a Wish, the Putnam County SPCA, Gianna's House, medical research charities, and many, many more.

We make special efforts to pay our respects at wakes and funerals of deceased brother Knights and their families, including celebration of the Knights' Wake Service. We also offer our facilities and hospitality to the community for important events such as funerals and commemorative services for our fallen heroes.

Please see our "Upcoming Events" page for a listing of our scheduled activities, and see our "Breaking News" page for additional information.
