Get Involved!
Fall Fest

  • Craft Table and Bake Sale  We are hoping that folks are willing to donate the fruits of labor in the areas of gift and holiday items, plants and baked goods.  They are also looking for a couple of people to help set-up the area and handle the sales.  Call the Parish Center at 651/633-8333 for more information.

  • Adult Games  The games and volunteers are for the most part ready to go, just needing a chair to coordinate activities.  The chairs from years past are available to answer your questions and help you along the way.

  • Food Vendors  Do you own a restaurant or         catering business?  Would you like to run a food booth at the St. John's Fall Fest?  We are looking for food vendors to work both Saturday (9/16) and     Sunday (9/17).  Booth fee is nominal ($75).

  • Security  We need folks to help with security       Saturday night and Sunday.

Fall Fest Gala
We will again feature a silent auction of themed baskets, that thanks to your participation, was such a great success last year!  If you would like to participate, please think of a basket or item that you would like to represent yourself or your business, put it together and donate it to the Gala.  Some ideas for basket themes include: holiday, seasonal, foods, sports, hobbies, bath - the list is endless! 
Baskets or items can be turned into the Parish Center after Friday, September 1.  If you have any questions, please call the Gala Basket Committee: Sandy Leon
(763/780-3479) or
Lisa Nesser (651/636-4010).


Call the Parish Center (651/633-8333) to
volunteer or for more
information.
