* 1934 Bonita Avenue (building exists, hall space renovated into business)
* 1145 Gilman Street (current home, this is Saint Ambrose Parish Hall)
Meetings are held on the third Sunday of every month.

Leviticus Nelson Everell Lyon, the subject of this sketch, was born in San Francisco
in May, 1894. He was educated in the public schools of Oakland, after which he
took a course in general history and economics at the University of California in
Berkeley. It was while attending the university that he discovered that he had a talent
for music, immediately placing himself for voice culture under the instruction of Miss
Katherine Urner and Dr. George Bowdin, of the University of California. The last
named was a former professor from London, England.

Soon after the above was penned and mailed to Mr. Lyon for criticism he was
solicited by some friend to appear in a song recital at the Knights of Columbus Hall in
Oakland. The following appeared in the Oakland Bulletin of April 17, 1918: "Customs

world war one participation
The following contains a list of members who served
in World War One. There had to have been other members
who remained at home unable to participate in this
particular way, and therefore are not yet identified.
This is real progress in identifying early Council members.

---page 440---
Knights of Columbus in peace and war (cf C.
E., VIII-670d).--When the United States of America
declared war against Germany in April, 1917,
the Knights of Columbus, through their Supreme
Board of Directors, passed the following resolution:
"The Supreme Board of Directors of the Knights
of Columbus, at a regular meeting, held the 14th
day of April, 1917, in the City of Washington,
realizing that the crisis confronting our country
calls for the active co-operation and patriotic zeal
of every true citizen, hereby reaffirms the devotion
of 400,000 members of the Order in this country
to our Republic and its laws, and pledges their
continued and unconditional support to the
President and the Congress of the Nation, in their
determination to protect its honor and its ideals
of humanity and right." In keeping with the spirit
of this resolution the Knights of Columbus offered
the services of the Order as a unit to the Government
in war work. An appeal was issued to the
public for $1,000,000 for this purpose and an
assessment of $2.00 per capita levied against its
membership. In time the war fund in response to this
appeal far exceeded the expectations of the Knights,
amounting in the end to something over $14,000,000.
Later on the Knights of Columbus participated
in the fund from the general "drive" made jointly
by the seven officially recognized welfare organizations
doing war work, its share, out of $170,000,000,
being $30,000,000, which in turn was shared with the
National Catholic War Council. The first task
was the establishment of a Knights of Columbus
service in the United States and its insular possessions.
Secretaries and chaplains were placed in all
the camps and cantonments; buildings were erected
and community centers were established. In all
260 buildings were erected, 1134 secretaries were
placed, and 309 camps were operated. Headquarters
were established in Paris for the Order's overseas
activities, with branches in London covering
the British Isles, and after the Armistice in
Coblenz, for the Army of Occupation. The number

determination to protect its honor and its ideals
of humanity and right." In keeping with the spirit
of this resolution the Knights of Columbus offered
the services of the Order as a unit to the Government
in war work. An appeal was issued to the
public for $1,000,000 for this purpose and an
assessment of $2.00 per capita levied against its
membership. In time the war fund in response to this
appeal far exceeded the expectations of the Knights,
amounting in the end to something over $14,000,000.
Later on the Knights of Columbus participated
in the fund from the general "drive" made jointly
by the seven officially recognized welfare organizations
doing war work, its share, out of $170,000,000,
being $30,000,000, which in turn was shared with the
National Catholic War Council. The first task
was the establishment of a Knights of Columbus
service in the United States and its insular possessions.
Secretaries and chaplains were placed in all
the camps and cantonments; buildings were erected
and community centers were established. In all
260 buildings were erected, 1134 secretaries were
placed, and 309 camps were operated. Headquarters
were established in Paris for the Order's overseas

1918 Bonita: Berkeley Bay Commons (bay side)
Designed in an architectural style more familiar in New England,
the building was originally used as a warehouse.
At one time there was a second floor hall where the
American Legion,
Knights of Columbus,
Knights of Pithias and the Daughters of the Golden West met.
The building has been used as office space since the depression.

the above-described red brick building is currently occupied by Rubicon.
It happens to be just one block north of another meeting hall

September 3, 1986 - Officers' Meeting at the Hall, 7:30 p.m.

GRAND KNIGHT'S MESSAGE
My job as your incoming Grand Knight has been made much easier
with the splendid cooperation on the part of the main corps of officers.
For instance, by now, all assignments have been made, including that of
the various directorships that have to do with fulfilling those aims
which the Supreme Council prescribes as essential - they are your thrust
for impetus as a Council, in the year ahead. Elsewhere, you will see
these assignments listed.
I would hereby request that the chair officers strive to attend the
2 monthly meetings, if it can be done, recognising, of course, there are
mitigating circumstances, as we caln all understand. We have lacked a
quorum, on a number of occasions, during the more recept past. We will
endeavor to hold the line on any lengthy meetings; only the bare essen-
tials required to handle tings, will be the by-word.
Thanks, again, for your cooperation.
Al Viarengo, Grand Knight
CHAPTER AGENDA IMMEDIATELY AHEAD
As relates to the Oakland Diocese Chapter, whereby we gain informa-
tion that affects us, of the area we are in, and of wath is transpiring,
these (3) Chapter dates occurring in September, follows:
Friday, Sept. 19 - Monthly chapter meeting, at Our Lady of
Mercy, 301 W. Richmond Ave., Pt. Richmond,
8 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 21 - The installation of the '86-87 Chapter offi-
cers occurs at the 8:30 a.m. Mass, St. Marg-
aret Mary's Church, 1219 Excelsior Ave., Oak-
land. Breakfast follows at the Edgewater Hyatt,
Oakland. Outgoing letters & tickets will flow
in the immediate weeks ahead. Richard Dey, 427-
5329,is the general chairman.
Sunday, Sept. 28 - The annual Chapter B-B-Q fund-raiser, 2 p.m.,
St. Agnes, Concord. Some thought is being giv-
en to having Councils buy 10 tickets, to sell,
or, however, to help assure its success.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
At this writing, Father Francis Geisser, of Japan, who is on a
month's visit to his native Switzerland, had not, as yet, stopped by
this way. We presume he went on directly to Switzerland. There is al-
so a Bethlehem Fathers Mission House, in Colorado, he, presumably,
would visit. We will await futher word.

York steak barbecue priced @ $8.00 is occurring, 1-5 p.m. The proceeds
from the event will be used towards financing construction of a long-
anticipated ramp alongside the building for side entrance to the beaut-
iful church. A neighbor church, the Methodist Church, is graciously de-
nating a portion of their property so as to make this project possible.
DO YOU REMEMBER?
Perhaps, you retain a cher-
ished memory of your activity in
Berkeley Council, over the years.
Your editor would like to hear of
a memory you cherish. With base-
ball season still upon us, a few
brothers may recall attending a
Quarterly Communion Mass-Break-
fast, at St. Mary Magdalenes,
where, at the breakfast, the
speaker, obtained through the
efforts of Frank Murphy, was the
Giants' Walter Mails. The date,
early February, in the mid-60s.
CONTACTS
The Chapter's Blood Bank
chrmn. is now John Dion, 848-0321.
John is also the Council's Credit
Union representative. He wil be
pleased to help you in both of
these vital areas.

BERKELEY COUNCIL 1499
Berkeley Council 1499 was instituted on Sunday, November 6, 1910 at
St. Joseph's Church, Berkeley. Gleaned from the monthly record of St.
Joseph's Church (which was founded in 1879) as read from the pen of
Father F. X. Morrison, Pastor and First Chaplain: "We have been looking
forward to this event for the last few years, we consider it an epic in the
life of the Church in the City."
"The Knights of Columbus now constitues [sic] the largest catholic organi-
zation in the country." It is of great interest that one of the members of
this Council, Ernest H. Woodfeldt, Grand Knight, 1930-31, was State
Deputy in 1943 and he has an Assembly in Contra Costa County named
for him which was instituted on April 18, 1953. One of the members
served the Junipero Serra province 4th Degree for three terms, 1932-1938.
Robert Emmet Roony [sic] has the oldest assembly in the jurisdiction named
for him, formerly Serra, which was founded on October 6, 1913.
