FALL SHOW
|
|
 Adapted from Reginald Rose's drama
12 Angry Men, St. Francis DeSales High School will bring
12 Angry Jurors to the Little Theatre stage this November. The play involves the deliberations of the jury of a homicide trial. At the beginning, they have a nearly unanimous decision of guilty, with a single vote of not guilty. Throughout the show this one dissenter sows a seed of reasonable doubt. Join the cast for a night of entertainment, and see what the verdict will be!
Shows are November 18 at 7:00 p.m. and November 20 at 3:00 p.m. in the St. Francis DeSales High School Little Theatre (4212 Karl Road, Columbus, 43224). Tickets are $8, and are on sale at the high school from 10:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. or at the door before the show.

FRIENDS IN THE COURTYARD WRAP UP
|
|
Parents, alumni, past parents, faculty and staff, and friends gathered on Wednesday, September 28 in the gymnasium at St. Francis DeSales High School for the "Friends in the Courtyard" Wine Tasting and Auction. The gymnasium was transformed into a beautiful, rustic outdoor vineyard winery; a big thank you to Ciminellos Inc. Landscaping and Garden Center and Westcamp Printing for helping with this transformation! The community came together to sample the finest wines from around the world plus a variety of beers from local breweries. Guests also enjoyed fabulous hors d'oeuvres from Carfagna's and were able to bid on 200 silent and live auction items. New to the event was the selling of the wine that was being tasted at the event; 376 bottles of wine were sold. The event raised over $44,000 (net). Proceeds from "Friends in the Courtyard" provide financial support to our co-curricular programs including athletics, band, drama, and over 30 scholastic and interest-based clubs.

We are grateful for the help of our dedicated volunteers, donors, and sponsors for making "Friends in the Courtyard" Wine Tasting and Auction a successful and fantastic event. A special thank you to our event chairs; Sam and Jeannene Carfagna, Nicole Clayton, Mike Murray, Karen Stone, and Michelle DiMaccio plus all the other committee volunteers. They all worked many long hours in the organization of the event.
