Picnic Thank You

On Sunday, September 26th, we held our Annual Parish Picnic.  It succeeded again in its primary goal of socializing with our faith community and was made possible by Debbie and Rich Fass, with the help of Dawn and Mark Salerno and Doreen Opeikun. 

Thank you to the Colalillo family and the Clinton ShopRite for their generous donation of hot dogs, hamburgers, rolls, and waters, and to Carol and Tony Rocha for arranging the pickup.

Thank you to Chris Wade for his generous donation of the ice and birch beer kegs and to Bash Donaruma for arranging the pickup.

Thank you to Ken Mandoli for generously taking care of our needs for the picnic, coordinating with our entertainer and being our Master of Ceremonies.

Thank you to Katharine Lawrence for helping with the creation and printing of our picnic tickets, sign-up sheets, and e-mail blasts.

Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for helping with the setup of the tents, tables, and chairs.

Thank you to Donna Baker and Janise Nelson for picking up the ice cream and running the stand.

Thank you to Rob Preston for the photography/videography.

Thank you to Lori and Dave Wunder and Eddie Wojtal for volunteering to be our game supervisors.

Thank you to our food servers, grillers, 50/50 salespeople and ticket sellers after all the masses.

Thank you to our numerous 8th grade confirmation candidates for your help and presence with us.

Thank you to the picnic committee who attended all the meetings and volunteered without hesitation to help with anything that was needed to make this picnic and carnival a huge success.

And last, but not least, thank you to all the others volunteers not mentioned above—from crafts/face painting to adult/children’s games and activities.  All are truly appreciated. We are grateful to you in making the picnic another success in our parish life.
