Pre-Christmas Yard Sale

I would like to thank Dale Edwards, Bill Renard, Alex Kachmar, and my friend Cindy Leggitt for helping during last month’s sale. I also would like to thank Alex and his wife Joanne for helping pack up leftovers after the sale, and George Mills and Dale for taking two loads of leftovers to St. Vincent de Paul on Monday 12/1. We raised almost $400 for the Hall Board.

Tootsie Roll Drive Results

On Nov. 8th & 9th, the Council conducted its annual “Tootsie Roll” Drive after the masses at St. Mary’s to raise funds for the intellectually disabled. The event was a success, raising $635.00, thanks to the volunteers who greeted the departing parishioners with tootsie rolls and accepting their donations. They are: Al Piccardo, Adam Struck, Bryan McKrell, Larry Schneider, Mike McVean, Keith Schiele, Terry Corcoran, Alex Kachmar and Dale Edwards. And thanks to two of our members who agreed to make themselves available if needed: Bill Sheean and Bob Willet.

Again, thanks to all.

The Council also held the annual Tootsie Roll drive after all masses at Sacred Heart on November 15th and 16th. Thanks to all who helped at Sacred Heart as well. Our efforts there raised an additional $360.00.

Council Makes Donation to Boles Fire Victims

On September 15, the Boles Fire swept through the town of Weed in Siskiyou County and destroyed Holy Family Church and the adjacent St. Michael’s Community Hall, where Mount Shasta Council 2599 is based. Both the parish community and Council 2599 lost everything in the fire. In response to a request for assistance from the Northern California Chapter, Council 953 made a donation of $250 to the relief efforts at the October Business meeting.

Please continue to pray for the Holy Family Community and our Brothers at Council 2599.
