St Mary’s Freeport Illinois
Hi Michael,
Barry and all the IVS
I wanted to
let you know that St Mary's is flying high right now, and no, we haven’t come down from the clouds yet! As a matter
of fact, we're flying a little higher now we have figures in from the benefit. Ten Thousand!!! Wow!!. I didn't expect to clear
so much for the Parish Center. The churches in our area and the whole Freeport community really came through to help us. The Ladies
Guild is ecstatic because half the money will be for the new kitchen
But, most of
all, we are still getting word about how enjoyable the evening was for people that attended and the question being asked still
is when are the IVS coming back to Freeport. Now that's a testimony to your wonderful group. |
