The meeting of our volunteers for the Spring Fling on Wednesday, April 8, was very well attended. We are truly grateful to all who came, as well as those who were unable to attend but who will volunteer. Everyone is welcome to help make this tremendous parish undertaking a success! Our Spring Fling will include a Gigantic Flea Market, Bake Sale, Food Stand, Tricky Trays, and Cash Raffle.

Bake for the Bake Sale: We welcome donations of baked goods! Items may be dropped off at the hall on Friday afternoon, May 15, or early on Saturday, May 16. Please do not use returnable pans or dishes. Suggested items include: cakes, breads, cupcakes, brownies, pies, fudge, Rice Krispie treats, and more.

Donate to the Tricky Trays: Donations may include: cash, gift certificates, lottery boards, children’s gifts, small appliances, household items, themed baskets, etc. Please drop off donations at the parish office by the first week of May.
