Dear Saint
John’s School Families,
Could our
Saint John’s Parish/School Galas get any better? Unanimously, the response was, “This years’ was truly the very best
ever”.
God saw that
it was good and blessed us with the most beautiful evening. For those of you who were unable to attend
yet contributed to the success, and for those who did attend, thank you. It indeed was our biggest social event and fundraiser.
The venue
was extraordinaire. Gathering in a barn,
shopping for the amazing auction items while enjoying special hors d’oeuvres
and cocktails was only the beginning of the delightful evening. Many smiles, compliments and “chuckles” were
exchanged as friends greeted and admired one another wearing their best western
wear.
Silent
Auction Mobile Bidding for the first time!
Did you get the item, basket or package that you wanted? Really, if you were outbid, you could be
notified via text message?
Thank you,
Father Sam for being our master of ceremonies and leading us in prayer prior to
enjoying a delicious dinner. The Country Music Project provided live music for us to enjoy and made
it truly an authentic, western occasion, with later line dancing and all.
Soon it was
time to present the annual Saint John’s Eagle Award. Cheers sounded as our very own Roberto Lopez
was called to be recognized. “Congratulations”
Roberto. We all appreciate you.
What could
be more western than to hear the voice of the auctioneer, Kurt Campbell, who
caused the live auction to bring in serious, and generous $’s for our parish
and school.
Lexy
Donnelly and the Gala Committee “hats off” for the fabulous event you made
happen for Saint John the Evangelist Parish and School. To each of you sponsors of our Gala, your philanthropic, generous gifts are making
a difference to our children and parish.
THANK YOU.
Shalom,
Mrs. Schmitt
