Wrapping Up the Holidays!

Holiday spirits were alive and well at Bass Pro Shops on Black Friday as TOO offered gift-wrapping in exchange for donations to our religious school. Many thanks to everyone who participated ! And it was great fun. Our donation total for just 8.5 hours is $295!

Is your name on the list for the next two wrapping days? We have Saturday, Dec. 21, 9am-7pm, and the big bonanza, Christmas Eve, 12/24, 9am to store closing. This was a huge day last year.

This is the easiest fundraising you will probably do and teens are especially good here.   So make sure you are on the schedule!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

The musical is coming to Blumenthal in a few months! Arlene was able to speak with a group sales representative and get us some great discounted prices, as low as $23.25 per person! We would love to go to the 3/1 1:30pm showing after religious school as a group.

Please let Keri know by Thursday, 12/4 if you think you might be interested, and if so, how many will be going. We will need to put down a deposit, and must have at least 15 signed up for the discount. kerihuneycutt@yahoo.com
