While council meeting attendance is voluntary, the active attendance of our membership is a vital component to the continuation of our Council. By simply attending you will learn what's happening at Fr. Joseph Boylan, Jr. Council, come to understand how the Council works, meet new people, and discover ways that you can assist in the Council. Our Council Officers volunteer a tremendous amount of their time and energy. Meeting attendance is the best way you can show your appreciation for their efforts.
