Here is a quick parents update: Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m sorry I have not gotten this information out to you sooner but I just received word that we have the opportunity to do a great fundraiser. We will be doing the HoneyBaked Hams and Turkeys sales for Christmas. We are taking this fundraiser over from the school who did it last year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Included in this packet is pre-order form, and info. sheet.
This Fundraiser will be an opportunity to help support students individual accounts as well as help support the overall cost of Retreats and other youth group activities. As you may or may not know the money paid for these activities only covers part of the costs the parish picks up the other part. The Money will remain in your account until August 31, 2015 and is good for any activities between now and then. These activities include Confirmation Retreat, Spring Break Service/Ski trip.
50% of profit will go to students accounts
50% will go to retreat fund for retreats and other overhead costs.
The more you sell the more money goes into your account!
Volunteers needed: I need help making announcements at all the Masses this weekend! (Thanksgiving weekend) If you are able to speak at a Mass this weekend please let me know. I also need teens to help sell after all the Masses this weekend and the following!
The Ham and Turkeys are a bit pricey but they are delicious and will save you a great deal of time and energy preparing food for your Christmas gathering. You will also be bringing many smiles to the faces of those who eat the delicious Hams and Turkeys! All order forms are due to me by Dec. 15th 3pm.
I will also need help to pick up all our order on December 22 in Spokane. As well as help with the delivery process (order pick up) in the Dillon Hall on the 23rd of December. Please let me know if you are able to help with either of these tasks.
Please help us to sell the delicious Honey Baked Hams and Turkeys. Sell them at your Thanksgiving celebrations this week and at work. Please get your orders in soon to insure we have enough product!
A couple service ideas are coming up in over the next several months;
December 10th is a half day for most high school students I am currently working on lining up a service opportunity for that Wednesday. I will keep you posted.
January 10th babysitting, we are offering day care during parents retreat that day.
Finally for Confirmation Please remember to have completed service hours in as well as mass reflections in no later than December 15! I also need Confirmation sponsors by that date for Second Year!
