Natal Day Hot Dog Sale! Thank you to Rev. Nita for a great job organizing this event and to everyone for your generous support. A huge thank you to all persons involved. Donation generosity and the helping hands of the volunteers made this Hot Dog Sale a success. We did not sell as many hotdogs as in past years due to the crowd size smaller than usual and the addition of a rainy day, but in the end $430.00 was raised with a bit more to come from cash donations. A full review of the sale will be submitted to the Guild in September. The amount raised covered the cost of the purchase of the new BBQ with about $100.00 on top of this amount to go toward other parish initiatives. We anticipate the new BBQ will be available for use for many years to come for the Hotdog Sale and other parish events.
