Plans were made for the covered dish social, which will be held in the Community Center on Saturday, August 18, after the 5 o’clock mass.  It was decided set-up time would be at 9 am the morning of the 18th.  A phone call committee will be making phone calls to members of our committee, asking for their help with set-up and with serving the meal.

 

The committee then moved on to finalize initial plans for “ Family Day in the Park” which will be held on September 23, 2007.

 

We will ask Fr. Ken and the pastor of the First Baptist Church to lead the meal prayers and/or say a few words before the meal.  The members of the First Baptist Church have been invited to participate in any event or sponsor any other event of their choosing.

 

The youngsters will have fun with a bounce house, an obstacle course and slide combo bouncer and a basketball throw bouncer.  The committee decided to ask the Shy group to be in charge of patrolling the bouncers, with 2 shifts each, with 4 at the obstacle course each shift and 2 at each of the other two bouncers each shift.

 

Fred and Elaine Koesler will be serving their famous… Kettle Korn.
