Support Our Parish Carnival
We need your help to make the 2004 Blessed Sacrament Carnival a success!
The carnival is our school and parish's largest single fundraising event. At the 2003 carnival, the faculty, staff, parents, parishioners and friends enjoyed a fabulous weekend with international cuisine, rides games and wonderful live entertainment. But most importantly, we raised over $60,000 (net). This year, we hope to raise even more money, celebrate an even more sensational party and reach out to even more local businesses and families for assistance with our fundraising efforts. The 2004 Carnival will be held October 22, 23, 24th.
As a non profit school and parish, Blessed Sacrament relies upon all of its families to join in the effort to raise money towards the facilities, social services, education. There are many creative ways that you can participate in and we welcome all suggestions for possible contributions. We hope that you will find it possible to help us in any or all of the following ways:
Volunteer your time: We can use your help soliciting donations, planning and installing decorations, setting up before the weekend event, preparing food, running the game & raffle booths etc. Whether you can spare the time to ask for donations now or you can help us for a few hours during the weekend itself we would be grateful for any time you can give.
Contribute items: We encourage you to request donations from local businesses that you frequent, and to ask your friends and families if they can help us. You can get letters to use when soliciting donations from the rectory office.
Come to the party and enjoy: We will send you more information thru the bulletin as the weekend draws closer but don't forget that your raffle ticket purchases is one very important way that you can help defray the costs of planning the carnival and make sure that as much money as possible goes directly to help the school and parish. We encourage you to invite your colleague's friends, and families to join us for the weekend. Its fun when you bring a crowd and it's a greater way for prospective families to learn about the school and parish. We will be offering a limited number of discounted ride tickets when the weekend draws nearer. So be on the look out.
We are excited about the chance to top our fundraising records from previous years and we are looking forward to a terrific weekend with food, games, entertainment and friends. We would be thrilled for you to help us make the 2004 Carnival, Concert & International Cuisine our best yet. Continue to read the bulletin for meeting dates and be a part of one or more of the committees.
