Please be sure to stop outside the Weigand Room after Mass and pick-up an envelope. Included are 10 calendars [selling for $10 each] and a letter explaining this easy & exciting fundraiser. Each calendar gives you a chance to win a cash prize every day in January! [They make great gifts and stocking stuffers.]
