Knights of Columbus
Pancake Breakfast
January 20th
The Norwalk Knights of Columbus will be holding
a paDCake breakfast on‘YSunday, January 20th from
8:00 a.m. to 11:00 am. at St. John the Apostle
Church, 720 Orchard Hills Drive in Norwalk.

sausage, scrambled eggs, fruit, coffee, juice and milk.
The proceeds will go to benefit the Level 3 Special
Education Class at the Norwalk Middle School. The
Level 3 class students are learning life skills to help
them later in life. Many of these skills are ones many

known that this was being taught. So come and join
the Knights to support this great cause, and more
importantly make known in our community that this
cause exists.
Thanks to the community for all their support of
the Knights and our young people.
Notice of Rate Increase
Next month, there will be a rate increase
implemented for N/ Warren Town and
County News subscriptions. In February,
the rate for a yearly subscription to our
newspaper will increase from $18 to $20
for a standard subscription, and from $15
to $17 for senior citizens 65+. The
additional $6 charge for mailing to counties
other than Warren and Polk will remain
the same.
Due to the growing cost of postage, paper,
and printing, a small increase in our
subscription rate is necessary. We have not
had a price increase for subscriptions for
well over a decade despite every year
postage rates being raised, sometimes
twice in one year.
Anyone who wishes to add an additional
year or more to their subscription at the
current cost may use the form on the
classifieds page to send in a payment. This
is available until the rate increase takes
place in February. '
