Raconteur Radio stages theatrical presentations of vintage radio plays, classic works of literature, and pop culture parodies for live audiences. Their productions are staged around art deco and feature theatrical lighting, period costumes, vintage commercials, Golden Age radio equipment, and extensive sound effects.

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS is set in Grover Mills, NJ, the play is a loose adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic. The simulated “news bulletins” of the original broadcast suggested to many contemporaneous listeners that an actual alien invasion was currently in progress and, as a result, there were instances of panicked evacuations throughout the US, especially in New Jersey!

Our Council sponsored a “Baby Bottle – We Support Life Drive” with the proceeds going to Birth Haven. Birth Haven is an independent, non-sectarian, non-profit organization that provides shelter, support, and education for homeless, pregnant women and girls. The agency provides a safe and nurturing environment in which to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term, while additionally helping the resident learn the tools necessary to achieve greater self-sufficiency. Individuals served by the organization include both those who intend to raise their child after delivery and those who opt for adoption placement.

Director of Birth Haven Tina Figurelli is present a check by Grand Knight Joseph D Ozoniak.

The Knights of Columbus fundraiser run by Chairperson Joe Ozoniak called it a Baby Bottle Drive because we distributed baby bottles during the weekend Masses at St Thomas the Apostle Church in Oak Ridge, NJ and asked each family to take a baby bottle home and return it with their spare change and cash donations.  The generous parishioners responded of which the Knights are very grateful.

The Knights of Columbus have been a supporter of Birth Haven and have made significant donations to them over the years.

The Joseph F. Lamb Council 5510 of the Knights of Columbus of Milton-Oak Ridge presented a check from their annual fundraiser in the amount of $2,475 from their Annual Intellectual Disabilities Drive to the Department for Persons with Disabilities.
