Spectacular - $1,000,000
& Beyond!
What a night! In a classic team effort, the
Leadership Committee, Team Captains and Volunteers of St.
Robert's all contributed to another outstanding Report
Meeting! The tremendous response of the St. Robert's family
continues, as nearly $180,000 in gifts and pledges
was reported this week! Our amount of gifts and pledges
has climbed to $1,025,737!
A most sincere thanks to all who have participated so
far, and a reminder that there are many members of the St.
Robert's community who have not yet made a gift! Keep in
mind that because of this excellent response, the funds
raised from this point forward will enable us to use less of
our own savings. Let's not miss this great
opportunity!
How high can we go?
This campaign began in mid-January, when the days were short
and Spring seemed an eternity away. Now, (just two months
later) as the new season arrives, we are in the campaign's
final weeks! We've come so far in such a short time, and a
significant question remains - how high can we
go
$1.2 million, $1.3 million, etc.? If you have
not done so, please make your own gift to "Building for a
New Century."
A Very Special Thank
You
There have been many people whose
participation has been instrumental in this campaign's
success, and we have tried to recognize them in our weekly
updates. In addition to our campaign volunteers, the parish
administrative staff of Kathy Hanley, Judy DeMartini, and
Lilo Quintana has played a critical role. From helping
with the daily operations to producing the many mailings and
preparing for the weekly meetings, their support and
assistance have been incomparable (not only that, but
Kathy and Judy have also participated as campaign
volunteers!).
Approaching each task with a wonderful spirit and an
optimistic attitude, they have been key to the tremendous
success we've enjoyed. A most heartfelt thanks to each of
you!
Oops!
Last week, we listed our campaign Volunteers. Much to our
regret, however, we wrote an incorrect first name for one of
these wonderful workers. We apologize for that error and
recognize her correctly below:
Mary Bourne
Please Pray for the Success of this
campaign!
