DeKuji!—Thank You! Danek! On behalf of the Spring Gala Chairpersons, Mary Ann Krenek and Irvin Ullmann, I want to thank everyone who had a hand in making the Spring Gala 2017 a profitable success and wonderful evening of Fun, Delicious Food, and Dancing! The final reports indicates that the Gala’s net income was $39,371.05 dedicated to the parish Build-ing Fund. And, none of it would have been possible without the very hard work of very fine and dedicated volunteer parishioners who provided the decorations, organized and operated the live and silent auctions and the U-Pick-It, cooked the steaks, prepared desserts and cleaned up afterwards. I believe a very good night was enjoyed by all who attended and anxiously look forward holds. To all of the parishioners, many thanks for your support and generous spirit! If you would like to have a hand in planning the future, please attend to have a hand in planning, please Spring Gala Wrap-Up Meeting on June 1 at 6:30p.m.in the CCD Building kitchen. Father Bob Knippenberg
