This St. Vincent de Paul Society sponsored event was a success at Pete Crivaro Park on September 18th. We thank all who walked, volunteered or pledged. We had great food and beverages for our catered picnic as well as desserts. Wonderful live music was provided by Jim Wachuta! The day was blue sky, warm and perfect, except for a few pesky bees. Disc golf winners won $100 Caseys cards (Sara Sinclair) and many door prizes were won. Kevin Sinclair won a $25 gift card to Chuck’s Restaurant. Jenny Sinclair won a centerpiece and Sue Miller won a pedometer. We had about 100 participants.
The event brought in a total of $4,300.00.00 with expenses of about $600 (public relations and fees). Many conferences were represented. We enjoyed our farthest away attendee from Omaha, Barb Slaven, our Mid-West Region representative.
The traveling “Big Shoe Award” (for most money collected) went to St. Elizabeth Seton of Carlisle conference. First runner up was the district and 2nd runner up was Christ the King conference.
