FALLFEST GALA 2000

Get yourself ready for the Fallfest Gala by PUTTING ON THE RITZ.  Jazzbos and Flappers, mark your calendars for September 15, 2000.  Come to Bandana Square for     cocktails, dinner, rolling the cubes and viewing the baskets.  Watch for further announcements and remember (Speakeasy).

GALA SILENT AUCTION
Fallfest Gala Committee invites all parishioners, friends of St. John's, and business owners to participate in our Themed Auction Basket fundraiser.
The Gala Dinner will again feature the silent auction, with which we had success last year, thanks to your participation.  If you would like to participate please think of a basket or item which you would like to represent your business or yourself, put it together and donate it to the Gala.  Some ideas are holiday, seasonal, foods, sports, hobbies, bath, the list is endless.  The baskets were so lovely last year, we are sure you will be as creative this year. 
Baskets or items can be turned into the Parish Center after September 1.
If you have any questions please call a member of the Gala committee: Linda Mezzenga 651-766-9000 or Donna Shamp 651-631-2835 or the Basket committee: Sandy Leon 763-780-3479 or Lisa Nesser 651-636-4010.

IMPROVEMENTS TO ST. JOHN'S CEMETERY
Improvements are being made to St. John's Cemetery.  A new fence is being put around the perimeter with an    ornamental fence at the entrance.  Some trees were        removed, after it was determined they were at the end of their life expectancy, and were replaced with new trees.
