Tootsee Roll Drive at Sacred Heart Parish

Council 953 was able to hold a tootsee roll drive to benefit local ID guests at the Sunday Masses at Sacred Heart Church in Sacramento.  Through the efforts of the volunteers, we collected $330.00.  By combining this collection with the funds collected at St. Mary’s Church allowed the Council to exceed its goal of $1,000 for this program.  The 953 Knights participating were Fran Mugartegui, Zac Rivera and young Bill James along with chair Dick Cutting PSD.  The event was assisted by volunteer Chuck Parsons from a neighboring Council; Don Baumgartner a parishioner and Dick’s two grandchildren Annie and Steve.  We thank them all for their generous help.

MR Drive-Thanks

On Oct. 15 & 16, 2011, the council conducted its annual “Tootsie Roll” Drive after all the masses at St. Mary’s. Following are those who helped man the doors of the church handing out tootsie rolls and collecting donations: Dale Edwards, Frank Philips, Floyd Wells, Bill Sheean, Dominic Ielati, John Bashore, Bill James and Terry Corcoran. Through their efforts we collected $680.76, one of our best collections for the past few years. Congratulations and thanks, brothers!
