June GIFT Follow Up

Thank you for attending our June GIFT Gatherings: the Evaluation Sessions. Before these sessions, I asked all families to complete the Evaluation Form. If you have not done so yet, here is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UjE9N6tg63HOS5eo_Jgpli3ihpByjRY3VlUMIybSvXk/viewform?usp=send_form

A month or so ago, a parishioner, Michael Aronson, gave the parish a gift certificate for a week at The Legends Baseball Experience camp for a week this summer. A couple families entered the drawing. THE WINNER IS THE COREA FAMILY! Congratulations! Please get in touch with me to pick up the gift certificate.
