The Flamingo Game

How it works:

You purchase a flock of flamingos! 

Mission Trip teens migrate the flock to a yard of your choice with instructions for removal.  Those receiving flocks pay a small removal fee.  Flamingo Insurance can be purchased to protect you from “flockings.”  And that’s when it gets interesting!  Anyone can play the game, but please choose yards where flocks will be welcome.  This is a great way to build community with parishioners, neighbors, friends and co-workers.  Have fun!

 
Game Time Frame
June 7- July 16 Detailed Game Directions and order form
Orders can also be placed by contacting the Flamingo Information Line: 
651-784-3065 or by e-mail: DeniseW@saintjosephsparish.org or JudyD@saintjosephsparish.org.

All proceeds support the teens’ mission trips to Sault St. Marie, MI  and  Wausau, WI

  • A team of teens and a leader will deliver the birds to the given yard as soon as possible once payment is received.  Thanks for your patience!
  • The game will be played June 7- July 16th so get your order in today!

 
Pricing and Insurance

  • Flamingos must be purchased in a flock.  Cost: $20.00.  The price of a second flock is $10.00 for those who are purchasing more than one flock for  the same yard.  (Total cost of 2  flocks $30)  Payment is required before flocking will take place, including phone orders. 
  • Once in the yard, the recipient will have instructions on how to have the flamingo flock removed (phone number will be provided, and a team will come and retrieve the flock, costing recipient $1 per bird unless insured). 
  • STANDARD INSURANCE:   For $10.00 you can protect your yard from one flocking.  However, if your friends are ambitious, they can purchase 2 flocks ($30) for your yard and the standard insurance will not protect your yard from being flocked.  You will wake up to several flamingo friends in your yard.  Insurance forms available after masses or from the office. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
