Hello Ladies,
You ladies never cease to amaze us. What a wonderful day we had. The room was beautiful and what a fantastic group of talented ladies! We had beautiful music and decor, a raffle to be proud of, plentiful baked goods, a terrific café and the crafted goods were beautiful. Thanks to everyone for your contributions to make this a successful day. Also, thanks to the men who made the setup and breakdown a lot easier. We appreciate you also! The numbers are trickling in and it looks like we did even better than last year. We will have more news on that after Thanksgiving. Check out the blog for pictures in the next week.
Helen is looking for some ladies to sell raffle tickets after the next two weekend Masses. If you think you could help out (it takes about 20 minutes or less) than email hlimina@ems.com If you would rather call, Beth 588-2076 can collect messages and forward to Helen.
Thank you and have a Happy Thanksgiving. If you are traveling for Thanksgiving, we wish you a safe trip.
Best Regards,
Denise & Beth
