Next Breakfast

We have a few dates before March to have a breakfast at SJF.  Contact Mike Devlin to help us decide on workable dates.

Ted-
Here are the Sundays suggested by the school and parish for Knights breakfast activites

January-  12 and 19
Feb.  -  9
March-  1, 8,15

Please poll the group as to if anyone has a conflict for any particular Sunday.  I will only be unavailable on Jan. 12th.

My suggestion would be to take the Feb. 9th and either the March 8 or 15th for a total of two events.  I believe the Jan. 19th weekend is MLK holiday.  Also, better chance the new parish center will be opened by Feb. or March than during January.
Respectfully,
Mike Devlin

    Thank you to all who volunteered for the Breakfast

    This one turned out to be one of our most successful ever!

    $713 Gross, $605 Net, $303 to St Clares.

    Thank you to Lynn Vanek for the donation of spoons to the spoon drawer in the school that enabled us to use silverware.


    And thank you for everybody who showed up, especially our pancake flipper Scott Young.  Scott is a member of our parent council 3591 in Tigard, though he is a parishioner of St. John Fisher, and he has worked extremely hard for both councils over the past 8 weeks- cooking for 5 breakfasts in that 8 week period.
