Baci Carpico, past state deputy of the Ohio Knights of Columbus and current member of the Ohio Charity Foundation, recently presented a check for $6,660 to Michele A. Santin, center, Diocese of Steubenville, director, diocesan Office of Catholic Charities and Social Concerns, and Ruth Ann Turner, executive secretary and social services coordinator. Carpico said the money is from the Ohio Catholic Social Services Endowed Polled Trust, initially established by the Ohio State Charity Foundation Knights of Columbus. The funds are used to assist citizens with developmental disabilities and the elderly. Carpico noted the $6,660 was presented to each Catholic social services operation in the six Ohio dioceses.
