Once again, the council successfully operated the Zippy Bun Booth this past August 18th at the St. Mary’s festival and had a good time doing so. As always, this event depends on the volunteers without whom there would be no ZBB. We would like to acknowledge those who helped out and extend a sincere thanks for their efforts.

Setting up the booth on Saturday morning were Matt Lucien, Fred Struck, Hector Garcia, George Kriske and this years co-chairman, Terry Corcoran. Special thanks goes to Matt who, in the absence of the other co-chairman, went to the hall and retrieved all the necessary equipment for the booth. Those who chipped in during the two hour shifts throughout the day include: Ricardo Saldana, Dick Cutting, Floyd Wells (who, every year forgets that if he comes to the booth immediately following 8:00 am mass, is going to be put to work slicing buns), Matt Lucien, Al Piccardo, Frank Phillips, Kevin Simpson, Andy Thielen, Dominic Ileati, Hector Garcia (who also showed up for the 6-8:00PM shift and then stayed for the take down-thanks Hector), Michael Lopez-Garcia, John Watling (who also stayed around for several additional shifts), Adam Struck, Alex Kachmar, Lewis Munoz, Bill Renard and Joe Miceli. Hector, Joe and Bill also stayed around for the take down. And, as always, a major shout out to our Master of Au Jus, Dave Carboni who stumbles into the kitchen around six in the morning to prepare the elixir without which our zippy bun sandwich would be just a sandwich.

A hearty thanks to all. If I’ve missed anyone or failed to mention your special efforts, I apologize. Let me know and I will certainly mention you.

Co-chairmen,
Terry Corcoran
George Mills
