Volunteers Needed for Zippy Bun Booth

St. Mary’s Parish will be holding its 86th annual festival on Sunday, August, 20, 2017 and as usual, the festival’s Zippy Bun Booth will be set up and run by members of the council. (For newer members not familiar with a zippy bun sandwich, it’s nothing more than a pile of roast beef between two bun halves dripping with aus jus and is one of the most popular food items at the festival.) We’re still in need of a few volunteers to man some of the two hour shifts. If you can help at the booth, please contact GK Adam Struck at (916) 914-5041 or struckam@hotmail.com.

Another Fantastic Tri-Tip Dinner!

Our team hit a home run on Saturday, August 27, 2016 with a wonderful group of workers and supportive friends that came to the dinner.

I want to thank our kitchen crew of David Carboni, Dick Claflin, and Steve Mills. Peter and Anthony Piccardo prepared the fabulous Tri Tip Bar B Q with samplers in the parking lot during the happy hour. The weather was mild and many of our friends mingled around the Bar B Q and viewed the Model A car show in the front parking lot.

Peggy Piccardo organized the Christo Rey High School servers. Our set up crew consisted of Larry Schneider, Jerry Cassidy, Lewis Munos, Grey Wolf, And Dr. Lee Brown. Dr Lee Brown, a member of St. Mary’s parish donated all the items for the silent auction. I encourage everyone to support our generous East Sacramento donors.
