Your Holy Thursday Treat

tbartke — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:15:41 +0000

Only you know if you really “deserve” this treat. Remember, I promised to post this to celebrate the deadline for turning in auction items and ads for the auction catalog.

Well, the deadline is today, and if you have not turned in these items yet, you can still get them in

Just deliver them to the Boles house in Arcadia… meanwhile, here is your treat (which by the way is just a preview to an even bigger treat that the St Monica Academy High School Choir will deliver at the evening of the auction!):

Invitation Math – “His Yoke Is Easy…”

The goals for this year’s auction are higher than ever before. But don’t let that scare you – we are more families, and with a little “Invitation Math” you will find that your share of the load is not that big after all…

Also, an exciting treat awaits on Holy Thursday – if you observe the auction item and ad deadline.

Why Are There Two Blogs?

tbartke — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:20:27 +0000

“I’m confused! Why do we have to have TWO blogs for the auction?”

This video answers this common question.

In a nutshell: This blog right here is to inform and rally parents about organizational things.

And the blog at http://StMonicaAuction.com is the one where you want to send friends and guests, because we don’t want them to see all the hustle and bustle that’s going on “behind the scenes.”

Play the video and leave a comment to let me know what you think!
