If you joined us for our Mardi Gras party, you know what a great time we had.
If you missed it, you missed a REALLY terrific party. Really...
91 people joined us at St. Andrew on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012 to help raise funds to send 8 of our “Youts” and their 2 chaperones (Pastor Fred and the Youth Advisor) to the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer. The kids raised a total of $3555 with your support. THANK YOU!
Those 91 people (plus there were many who made donations but did not attend) enjoyed an evening of terrific New Orleans-style food (jambalaya, red beans & rice, gumbo, and of course, King Cake). We had karaoke with some very good voices (and some not so good but good-spirited), masquerade mask crafting, Guitar Hero and Dance-Dance Revolution games, and a very fun Crazy Hat contest.
But the big fundraiser of the evening was the Silent Auction. 56 items were up for bid, and there was indeed some very competitive bidding going on for a few of the items. Thank you to some of our local businesses for their support and the items donated for this event: (So please patronize their business and say “thanks” for supporting St. Andrew’s Youth Group).
Look out New Orleans!…. 36,000 Lutheran Youth are coming to your town in July and things will never be the same… for them … or for you!
Come and see what all the excitement is about:
