The Parish Beefsteak was a smashing success by every measure imaginable. We sold more tickets, had more per capita spending, had the biggest raffle and the biggest 50/50, and had the biggest net profit for the parish than any Beefsteak in the last ten years. THANK YOU to all who worked so hard to make the event a success. Good job by Gary Van Shaften is getting speaker Jim Burt, and a special thanks to PGK Jim Liess who traveled up north to MC the giveaways. A great time was had by all!
SAVE THE DATE for the Texas Hold ‘em, to be sponsored by the Council as our own fundraiser, replacing the St. Pat’s dinner/dance. The event will be held on May 20, 2011 at the Wayne Elks on Hinchman’s Drive. Details to follow.
Youth – SK Joe Tomaszek, PGK
