Due to COVID-19 restrictions and regulations, the Cranford Knights of Columbus will not be able to hold our Annual St. Patrick’s Dinner Dance this year. In lieu of being able to hold this Worthy Event, the Cranford Council will be holding a Corned Beef Dinner Sale on Saturday March 20th as a fundraiser to support the Will DeGregorio Memorial Scholarship established by the Cranford PAL. Will was a fine young man and a great athlete who we lost way too early to Cancer.

To support this worthy cause, we are accepting pre-orders only that must be received by March 16th. The cost is $15.00 per Dinner and there is a Family Plan of 4 Dinners for $50.00 that includes Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes & Rye Bread. Dinners can be picked up at St. Michael’s School Cafeteria from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on March 20th and we can also deliver Dinners to your home. We can accept payment by check, cash or through Venmo or Zelle and that account information will be provided when you place your order. Credit Cards cannot be accepted on any basis.

To place an order please contact either:

• Deputy Grand Knight – Jerry Conheeney – [email protected] – 908-416-3464

The Cranford Police Department Community Outreach Unit is announcing its newest initiative called “Meet The Department” with its first session being held on March 31st, 2022.

Much like Coffee with a Cop, the purpose of “Meet The Department” is to host meet-and-greet sessions with the specific divisions, bureaus, and units that make up the Cranford Police Department. As the police department consists of a Patrol Division, Investigative Division, Training Division, Community Support Services Division, Detective Bureau, Traffic Bureau, Juvenile Bureau and Community Outreach Unit, “Meet The Department” will be scheduled throughout the calendar year at the Cranford Community Center so residents may address questions or concerns with specific division commanders, bureau supervisors and their respective teams.

The first “Meet The Department” session will host Chief Ryan Greco, Captain Guy Patterson and Captain Edward Davenport of the Police Department Command Staff.

There is no need to RSVP for this event, and light refreshments will be served.
