As a result of a Council vote during the October Special Council Meeting, the meeting nights for the Council have changed. The Officer's Meeting will be the 2nd Tuesday of the month and the General Business Meeting will be the 4th Tuesday of the month at the Faith Formation Center. Please reference the Calendar for the times.

 

As many of you are aware, our Council is having a raffle for a new Sony 46" Television. Two raffle books were mailed to each member in the Council. If you have not returned your books, please either mail them back in the envelope that was provided, or bring them to one of the weekend masses. You do not have to return them with money, but each ticket needs to be accounted for, per state gaming regs. Thank you for your cooperation.
