A note from the Captain:

October 11, 2008

My Dear Friends......

It's 2 in the morning and Syd and I have just returned from our Spartan Soiree, which was an overwhelming success.

I must thank all who helped make this our most successful fund raising eventin years! Officers, Officers' Ladies,Ft. Lts. and their Ladies, Krewe, Friends, etc. Thank you all who worked so hard.

I also want to thank our many friends from our community and from other krewes who supported our evening. I personally asked so many of you to get involved by being with us and/or buying raffle tickets....and the vast
majority of you showed your support for me....and for Sparta. I certainly know who my (and Sparta's) true friends are.....and I, as the Captain of Sparta, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you, again, to all who showed their support for The Knights of Sparta..........

Best........

"Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat"
The Captain and the Officers of The Knights of Sparta
