Chris Mongielo, the chief cook, serves up a turkey and biscuit dinner to patrons at the Grand Island Knights of Columbus on Election Day as John Donner, chairman of the event, looks on. More than 200 diners enjoyed the offerings. Proceeds from the dinner, held annually, benefit the Grand Island Neighbors Foundation, Hospice and sponsor the education of a seminarian at Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, who will be ordained a Catholic priest in December. Look for another fundraising dinner at the Knights of Columbus on Whitehaven Road in January. (photo by Larry Austin)
