Pastor Letter – Car Raffle for School Operations 2022 – Emailed September 2, 2022

    Dear Parishioners,

    It is back-to-school time and one important school activity that must go on is fundraising. Under the best of circumstances, school operations’ fundraising is a fundamental need. This year I introduce to you once again the IHM elementary school’s FOURTH annual car raffle.

    Getting this car raffle “off the ground” I have had the great assistance of Julie Bowling, our parish office secretary, Barb Riggins, our parish office assistant, Jeff Andrea, Financial Services for the church and school, Danny and Laura Karam, Rochelle Casalandra, Melinda McIlroy, Kathy Friess, the school secretaries, and Thursday folders volunteers.

    Our parish / school fundraiser has been blessed with the incredibly special financial support of Mike Iemma (parishioner) of Park Ford, Linda and Chuck Ingersoll (parishioners) of Ingersoll Landscaping, and Tracey and Marwan Touma (parishioners) of Smoothie King.

    I am happy to report that the Car Raffle plan is in place and here are the details:

    • Prize: 2022 Ford EcoSport or $15,000 (winner chooses)
    • When: Drawing will be on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022, at the 4:30pm Mass. Tickets on sale will begin soon and through Thursday, December 1st, by 12 noon.
    • How Much: Tickets are $20 each
    • How: Turn in sold and completed ticket stubs to the parish office or in the collection basket.
    • Incentive: For every 5 tickets you sell per month, your name will be in a monthly drawing for $500 (Drawings at the 10:00am mass on Sundays, October 2nd, November 6th, and before the BIG drawing on Saturday, December 3rd. Each month starts fresh.)
    • Perk: A coupon on the back of every ticket for $2 off a smoothie at Smoothie King.

    The 2022 Ford EcoSport, courtesy of Park Ford, will be on display on Portage Trail from September until the drawing. An unlimited number of tickets will be sold.

    I am asking all parishioners to please consider help with this especially important event and school fundraiser. In the next week or so, we will be mailing five tickets to parishioners for your convenience and encouragement. Also, additional tickets will be available in the parish office during normal office hours.

    Many blessings,
    Father Jim Singler
