These knights are service driven, with family values. Where there is a need, you will find a Knight some how involved. Programs fall under 6 catagories Church, Community, Council, Family,Youth and Pro-Life.
All 4 councils are big supporters of Camp Still Meadows, a camp for the retarded. It is a day camp and has been helping, by improving, the quality of life for these special people for several years. One of the missions, that the Valley knights have taken on, is to help expand the camp and make it grow, so more people can share in the enjoyment. Of course all the Knights help, through KOVAR, (Knight Of Virginia Assisting the Retarted) This is the Tootsie Roll hand out in December, (around Christmas) and better known around the end of April. They hand out Tootsie Rolls and accept donations from those who wish to contribute.
