The Greene County Knights of Columbus, Council 13808, kicked off their annual Charity Raffle on Aug. 1, to support local charities in Greene, Putnam and Hancock counties. This year marks the eighth year for the charity raffle with more than $185,000 raised in support of various charities in the tri-county area.
