Dear Parents,

 

I hope you are making plans to attend our Spring Auction & Gala on March 8.  The evening promises an abundance of great music, exceptional food and drink, and the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes.  This year's theme celebrating the "old wild west" is sure to inspire us into donning our blue jeans and cowboy boots & hats while kicking up our heels to live country music by The Mason Rivers Band.  I am especially looking forward to meeting and/or getting more acquainted with our St. Cletus school and parish families at this wonderful event.

 

Please consider an Auction sponsorship, as tickets are included to the event along with your name/business listing in our ad book.  Thank you for your support and commitment to this important fundraising activity.

 

Sincerely,

 

Margaret M. Hayes

Principal  
 
Please keep the St. Cletus School Annual Fund in mind when you make your charitable contributions.  Additional information about the 2013-14 Annual Fund Campaign is available at:
