For our Children's Breakfast
and Christmas Hamper Program
A promotional fundraising evening was held in St Justin's Parish Hall on
Saturday, Sept 8, sponsored by our St Justin's St Vincent de Paul Conference to raise
funds for our Children's Breakfast Program and the Christmas Hamper Program. The
event raised more than $3000. for our Conference programs and was deemed a success...
Some 200 guests were entertained by the 'Fitzgeralds', with vocalist Emily Flack
and Nate Douglas on guitar performed a routine of song, fiddle and dance to the delight
of all who attended. The group was made up of six exceptionally talented young people
all in university and with some studying both music and religion. The rapport among the
six performers was very evident in their expressions towards one another of their musical
appreciation.
Members of St Justin's Knights of Columbus administered the bar and various
confectionary items including pizza were sold at nominal prices. A 50/50 was held and
the winner selflessly donated her prize of $255 back to our Conference.
Many thanks go out to the parishioners and guests who supported the
event; to the Knights and our own Vincentians, especially our President,
John Gruggen who volunteered their time and talents to making the
fundraiser a success.
