New glass was put in our storefront window and door, and the new window is adorned with Christmas lights and an illuminated American flag. Along with the external improvements, some much needed house cleaning and reorganizing was done inside the council which has created more space for members and guests. Check out a few new pictures of the council by clicking on any of the photos below.
Thanks to CHARLIE FOLLO & JOEY BLESSINGTON for all their time, efforts & expenses for our new clear windows on the door and the top of the window and our new sign! On behalf of ALL the members...WE THANK YOU!

Council's headquarters is located on Manhattan's west side in a midtown
community known as Clinton, which is affectionately known by many area
residents as Hell's Kitchen. The Council is conveniently located
near Times Square and within walking distance of hundreds of fine
restaurants, theatres, art galleries and other shops and tourist
attractions. There are several Catholic churches located near our

DeSoto Council was founded on March 20, 1898. It is named after the famous
Spanish explorer, Fernando DeSoto, who explored much of
Southern North
America (the Mississippi River area in 1541). Many of the early councils
of
the Knights of Columbus were named after explorers.
DeSoto Council #327 works closely with Sacred Heart Parish and the
community
of Hell's Kitchen, providing support to local senior citizens, the youth
of
the community with our dedication to the Joseph Horvath Memorial
Scholarship
Fund, and many other neighborhood causes.
