Our 3rd annual Spaghetti Fest fundraiser was held on October 4, 2009. A delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, salad and dessert was served.
A cash bar provided a variety of soft drinks, water, wine and beer. There were carnival games with prizes for all children, a bean bag toss tournament for anyone over 21, a split the pot bingo for all ages, and a continuous basket raffle. Our goal with this fundraiser is to provide an open and welcoming environment for all! Parishioners, friends, school families and neighbors took the time to meet each other, enjoy a good meal, and share the fellowship of a Christian community. |
