Thank you to all volunteers who have already signed up to work or have
donated items to the Festival – or both! We request that if you
have not yet contributed to the Festival, please consider some of the
following ways you can be involved:
- Sell your Grand Raffle tickets. If you have sold all
your tickets pick-up more, they are available after Masses or at the
Parish Office.
- Bake a pie for the Chicken Dinner – Drop off in the kitchen
Saturday (all day) or Sunday (before 10:00 a.m.). Boxes are
available at the church.
- Bake a cake for the Cake Walk – Drop off as above
- Volunteer to work a shift in the kitchen, dining hall or
games. Sign up as a family! It is a great way to spend a
few hours of quality time together while helping contribute to the
success of the Festival.
- Donate a basket for the Silent Auction – Basket ideas are
located on the ‘idea tree’ in the Gathering Space. Pick a tag and
return it with a basket of items related to the suggestion. Or,
come up with your own idea. It’s another fun way to involve the
entire family!
