A jerky fundraiser

Fr. Daniel has sent out an e-mail and put up a sign-up sheet for a fundraiser for St. Bartholomew's next week. As he noted:

A local business associate of Dee's will donate the next weekends’ proceeds from his Beef Jerky stand at a local fairground to our parish. The ‘catch’ is that we need to enlist the help of several volunteers to operate the booth, while HE goes fishing (literally).

Location: C-Fair Charity Horse Show at the Evergreen State Park, Monroe WA. Equestrian Park #100

Days and Times: 8-2-06 to 8-6-06 (Wed to Sun)
   Thurs - Sat 8am to 10pm
   Sun 12pm to 4pm

People have been asked to sign up for 4 hour blocks if they can. Already several people have signed up. (Hm. Sun 12pm means somebody misses Mass.)

Just like the old days, when we manned booths at various fairs and festivals to help raise money to build the church. Not long ago somebody set out in the Parish Hall a photo album with pictures from back in those days, including some of our booths and fellow parishioners.

Note to self: check calendar. AND will-power: that commercially-produced all-natural jerky (no preservatives) is good -- WAY too good!

8/05 Update:Just fixed the mess with text color. Blogspot usually warns me of "unclosed tags," but this time it didn't. Hm.
