ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACREMENT at Holy Redeemer – Please call Dan Endres if you can give some of your time.

WAUNAFEST 2009 is scheduled for July 24 – 26. Vern Meier, Keith Clemens, Darrell Kutchmarek, Dan Endres and Ben Wealti are getting everything organized. Sign-up sheets will be at the June meeting. This year we need 2 cabinets for storing utensils, ketchup and whatever else we can fit in them. They can be plastic or some other light weight material - about 4' high, about 4' in width, and about 16 inches deep, with a few shelves and drawers in them. Nothing fancy, we just want to be able to find things easily instead of always digging through the igloo coolers. Please contact Vern if you can donate the cabinets.
