Mothers Day Spaghetti Dinner will be Saturday Night May 10 starting after the 5:30 Mass.
Please come and volunteer to set -up, serve or to help with clean -up
Also bring Mom and any friends or GrandMa’s to join us as we always have a great time.
We are going to do a Rockies Baseball game this Summer.
I am thinking a night game would be a fun change and we will pick a date later.
Anyone who wants to help with the planning please contact me.
It’s also time to Plan several outdoor activities.
My big interest would be a Overnight Camping / Fishing Trip. We are looking for a good location! If anyone has access to any Private land or knows a camping area that we could reserve. (less than an Hour for Denver would be great) let me know. Any opportunity that includes a place to Fish would also be good for the kids.
Also / or – We have many great trails to hike in Douglas and Jefferson County. Please contact me if you want to help organize or participate in a day hike, I will gladly accept volunteers to assist with these projects.
Third, we would like to do a Family Bike Ride on the Cherry Creek trail. There is some great riding from the parking lot at Cottonwood, South to Franktown. If you have’nt ridden this trail it is very fun and well laid out. Road, Mountain or 1 speed/ Cruiser bikes will work. We can all meet and choose to go out and back. 5 or 10 mile option exist with no roads to cross and light walker/ jogger traffic. All ages can participate.
Fund Raising:
Also, I spoke with Father Jim and he wants The Knights (us) to think of some additional fund raisers. We have an opportunity to help with the Parish Carnival coming up in June. Father Jim wants to do a Beer Garden and we all need to reach out to anyone who has anything to do with Craft Beer, to donate.
For the Carnival I am going to set up a Family Activity fund raiser. One thought is something exciting, like a “Cake Walk”. This would fit into the carnival theme nicely. Again, I need some creative volunteers to make this a success. I will contact the Carnival commitee and get us a Booth/ space and check with the Lady Nights for a conflict with a Bake Sale. We have plenty of people in the Council who could bring a homemade cake for donation. If we got 15 cakes I think we could raise $500. VOLUNTEERS??
Again, many of you have asked for ways to help me out with the activities planning and putting together events for the Family Activity Commitee. Give me a call and let’s have some FUN!!
Your humble servant,
Bill Hensen – Family Activity Director
