BJJYA!... is the heart of Fallfest, and we need cash donations to help pay for all the ingredients. Please mark an envelope with "Booya Donation," and place it in the Mass collection or mail it to the Parish Office. Thank you.

FARMERS' MARKET: We need you spare veggies, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbages, etc. We also need  you pies, cookies, and breads of all kinds. And don't forget your green plants, annuals, and perennials; we need those, too! Call Bernice at (763) 784-7889. Thank you.

BOTTLE BONANZA is back again. This Fallfest game will consist entirely of donations from the parish. Please fill jars and bottles with various "fun items" that would mostly appeal to children. Each bottle should be thoroughly washed clean and have a lid intact. The dollar amount on the contents of each bottle is left up to the discretion of the donor, but should be worth at least $1 and not to exceed $5. Examples: candy, coins/bills, small trinkets or toys, school and art supplies, holiday items, new socks, lottery "scratches," etc. Cost to play the game is $2 or 2 tickets. Call Mary Anne, (651) 633-8333, ext. 1220.

RING-A-POP is a Fallfest favorite, and we need donations of 2-liter plastic bottles of assorted non-alcoholic beverages. Please drop them off in the designated crates next to the entrances to the Parish Center. Please call Ann if you have any questions at (651) 604-9341.

HELP OUR YOUTH RAISE MONEY for World Youth Day 2008: Do you like to save money on dining, movies, car washes, playing golf, etc.? Then buy a Happenings Entertainment Book from our youth on Fallfest Weekend! They will be selling these discount books at the pop booth.  You may also pre-order a book for $30 by calling Monica  at (651) 481-8805. As with all of our fundraising for this trip to World Youth Day in Australia, a portion of the proceeds will help defray the costs of our very own pilgrimage spiritual director, Father Magnuson. Bless you.
