Senior League One Big Game- Angels/Dodgers vs Cubs/A's

June 9 Breakfast was a resounding success

 We may serve fewer breakfasts at SJF, but we earn more per breakfast.  52 breakfasts served, $487 net.

 We served 189 breakfasts at St. Clare's.  127 of those were from the first Mass, which is amazing because the Cafeteria only normally seats 96.

We grossed $908.

Thank you to everybody who volunteered.  Come back next week to volunteer with Mike Devlin at SJF!
