Just a reminder that in order to ensure delivery in time for next week's ski outing, all Timber Ridge (Marcus Resorts) orders should be received by 10:00 AM on Tuesday, January 24.
Last year, the GLScrip delivery was delayed one day due to a snowstorm and many families did not receive their orders in time for the outing. So while there may appear to be one more chance at ordering Timber Ridge certificates, you might be taking a chance they won't arrive in time if you wait until next Monday to order.
Due to the weather, Bingo is cancelled for tonight, January 20. Stay safe and warm and we'll see you next week!

After many years of dedicated service, Bingo operators Jodie and Mike Canova will be retiring when their youngest child graduates this year. There are openings for two operators who will work as a team to take over for the Canovas. Typically, a married couple will be a team, however two unrelated individuals are also welcome to apply together. Operators must be current Bingo workers. Factors considered during selection will be combined experience and demonstrated commitment to Bingo, as well as past participation in other school and parish activities.
There are also several other current Bingo workers who will be rolling off when their children graduate, and new Bingo shift workers are needed as well.
Please contact any of the Bingo operators for more information: Jodie/Mike Canova, Tina Knight, Lori Gatta, Tracy/Pat Pfaller, or Marcy/KC Liberty.
