POT OF GOLD POTLUCK
On March 17, 2012 at the St. Rose Parish Community Center after the 6:00pm Mass there will be a Pot of Gold Potluck Party. There will be games for kids, there will be drinks to buy, people are bringing their famous dishes (it is a potluck), and Cliff Cody will sing at 7:00pm. At 9:00pm there will be one drawing for one prize. The lucky name on the winning ticket will receive $5,000. This fundraiser is for St. Rose Catholic School, almost 100 years strong. Please consider buying a few raffle tickets. Each ticket is $20. One person can buy all six for $100, and the winner need not be present. If a 2012-2013 St. Rose student’s name is written on the ticket for the Leprechaun’s Bonus, that student’s family will receive a $500 tuition coupon for the 2012-2013 school year. This is an incentive for our families to sell, sell, sell. Any questions, please call Fr. Jim at 740-342-1348. We truly are grateful to God for you and hope you buy some tickets! Please return purchased tickets to the rectory (309 N. Main St., New Lexington, Ohio 43764).
