Note: while we got together on February xx, there was no formal meeting, as everyone was consumed by the discussion of whether to become part of the regional school or to remain stand-alone. Of course, the decision in the end was to remain standalone.
March 23
This meeting was held on the 4th Thursday this month, because 8th grade confirmation was on the 16th.
8:17
o Meeting was called to order by George Grether.
o Opening prayer by Carl Herde.
o A brief discussion of the brochure that will be going out to parishioners and St. Regis Park neighbors.
o Discussion of "splitting" the split the pot, and maybe making the second drawing a reverse raffle, or the Nth one (such as, the 10th ticket drawn will get the other half of the half). Tabled until next meeting due to low turnout and low split the pot amounts.
o Discussion of re-starting the Father-Son breakfast. Will try to do it April 23. John Rousseau volunteered to put together the food (sausage, biscuits, scrambled eggs). Clancy, George, Pat Plamp, Greg Gorman, among others agreed to help with it. We will make sure to try to get the word out to Alumni of the old Father-Son breakfasts.
o Our thoughts and prayers are with Sam Tyler.
o If you have not turned in your stewardship forms,
please do so immediately. If the school has to go to tuition, instead of full stewardship, you will be allowed to change your pledge amount. Everyone came together last month to say how important it was to remain standalone; now, it's time to put the words into action.
o Fish Fry is a booster event that is mostly for socializing. We don't make much money on it, because our costs are so high for the food. Last week was down as much as 40%, due to the UL Game, St. Patrick's day, and the Archbishop giving dispensation for St. Patrick's day.
o Meeting adjourned at 8:59.
The Next meeting will be Thursday, April 20.
