baby bottlelThe Knights of Columbus Council 10208 and New Beginnings Pregnancy Resource Center in Benton, Arkansas thank each and all for your generosity in the campaign to purchase a GE Ultrasound machine.

In the 2016 campaign that just ended, a total of $7,758 was raised at Sacred Heart of Jesus.  We had previously raised $6,802 in the 2015 Ultrasound campaign and deposited near that amount in a "special" account.  In addition, during a recent gala in Benton, $11,500 was raised to benefit the Ultrasound Fund. So, thanks to you and other generous souls, we have now purchased a new GE Ultrasound machine for New Beginnings at a cost of $30,000 - paid for by our Ultrasound Campaign and $15,000 matching from Knights of Columbus Supreme. The balance left in the fund was returned to New Beginnings for start-up in the operation of the Ultrasound.  Additionally, the funds from the 2016 Campaign were distributed as follows:  $1,000 to Arkansas Right to Life, $1,000 to Change Point Pregnancy Center in Hot Springs, and $5,578 to New Beginnings to support their Ultrasound operation.  The machine was used the very first day, and has shown itself to be very useful on frequent occasions.  Many newborn babies and their mothers will be thanking you for years to come.
