St. Ignatius Martyr Parish

FAMILY AFFAIR 2007 is finally here on this Saturday, October 20th. Here is how parishioners can help:

Throughout the week please continue to donate 2 liter bottles of coke, bags of wrapped candy, new or slightly used dolls and stuffed animals, plants for the Plant Booth, items in brown paper bags for the Parcel Post Booth, and gift certificates and merchandise items for the Live and Silent Auctions. These may all be brought to the Church Office.

The set-up of the booths and tents on the church grounds will begin at 9:00a.m. on Friday, October 19th. All individuals are encouraged to please stop by and help. Even an hour or two will make a big difference.

All parish families are asked to donate at least one cake for the Cake Walk and other pastries such as pies, cookies, cupcakes, etc. for the Sweet Shop. These items may be brought to the Family Center kitchen anytime during the day on Friday, or by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.

If you have volunteered to work at a booth, please show up at this booth at your assigned time. If you have forgotten your booth or time, please stop by the Volunteer Table to obtain this information. If you would still like to volunteer and did not do so, please also stop by this table for possible open times.

Every Parish family received 10 raffle tickets in the mail. Please either purchase the tickets yourself, or try to sell to others. Please turn in ticket stubs and cash at Family Affair table after Mass today, or at raffle table at the Fair. Additional tickets may be picked up at the Family Affair table after Mass today.

Each Parish family also received 4 BBQ meal tickets in the mail. If you wish to purchase any of these tickets, please turn in stubs and cash at the Family Affair table.

October 14th is the last day to order Family Affair t-shirts. All shirts ordered today can be picked-up on the day of the Fair.

As soon as the Fair ends that evening, clean-up and takedown begins. The parking lot must be completely empty and clean for Masses on Sunday. Please plan to stay and help in this clean-up. Everyone will be tired from a long day, but the more help we get the quicker it will get done.

Most important of all, plan to attend the Fair that day, and to invite your family members and friends, and finally, HAVE FUN!!!!!!
