We have great news!!
The King Cakes we will be using for our King Cake drawing will be partly sponsored by a local bakery. The Esparza Bakery will be baking our King Cakes this year which is a bit of a change for us.

In previous years the cakes had always been baked by volunteers and school parents.  The very much appreciated assistance with the cakes is going to take a lot of pressure off or our helping hands.  This also guarantees a comfortable hiding place for our very sought-after babies.

Remember we only have 12 babies and if you find one in your piece of King Cake you will be placed into a special drawing for a prize. Rumor has it that this years King Cake drawing prize is going to be great and if it’s anything like last years barbecue grill you might want to get your cake early.

Just around the bend.

With the All Saints Mardi Gras dinner and dance only days away the crunch has started.  Our parent volunteers and teachers are working frantically to get prize packages organized. Teachers and classes are finishing up their amazing art projects which will be placed into the silent auction and we are still receiving donations and gifts from our spectacular community of friends, family and carrying businesses.  Here are a just a few of the Roswell businesses that have given to our fund-raiser.

Roswell is not the only place we have donations from. All Saints has also been lucky enough to be given an entire collection of certificates to restaurants in Ruidoso.  Businesses located in our lovely mountain neighbor to the west have been extremely generous and we have a wonderful compilation of meals just screaming to be had.

 

Donations! Art and burgers?

We have had a wonderful response from the community to our request for donations.  We have received so much so quickly it’s hard to keep up with the list of donors. The slide show is just a few of the sponsors that have provided products or donations for the silent auction or door prize giveaway. We have donations of artwork, jewelry, electronics, cookware, sporting goods, perfumes and so much more. Prints from local artists Paul Drum and David Blair are only some of the pieces that will be in our silent auction.

One donor who is not in our slide show yet but should be recognized is our local Wally Burger. Now every year we receive a generous number of gift certificates from a variety of restaurants in and around the Roswell area. Now all of these meals are very much appreciated and are always used, but this year Wally Burger has done one better.  We have in our possession a gift certificate for one year of Wally Burgers. This certificate isn’t for one burger a month, (which would be great). It’s not for a burger a week, (that would be even better). We’re talking about one burger a day for a year. Now I know what you’re saying. “It’s just a burger”, but your wrong. It’s not “just a burger”, it’s 365 burgers! You won’t have to “Wimpy-it”, and offer to pay on Tuesday. You can have a burger any day you want! This certificate is worth over $1,100.00 in wonderfully grilled to perfection beef beauty.

Now that’s a gift certificate, but it’s certainly not the only one. One of the All Saints classes has managed to compile a gift box with around $500.00 worth of gift cards and certificates to businesses around Roswell. There is a veritable shmorgishborg of meals, services and products to be had at this years Mardi Gras and not all of them will be in the silent auction. Many of the donations will be given away as door prizes or won in a number of different drawings that will be held that night, like the King Cake Drawing and the King and Queen Election.

So you see, you may go to Mardi Gras for a great dinner and a little dancing but you could go home 365 burgers richer and royalty. Who knows?

The Votes Are Rolling In!!!

We are into the last few weeks before the King and Queen Election final results and the votes are starting to add up. The winners will be announced at the Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance on the 18th so you still have plenty of time to vote for your favorite couples. Remember if you don’t see someone on the chart you think should be in the running you can still vote for them.  Take a donation to the All Saints Catholic School office and vote, every dollar donated equals one vote. You don’t have to vote for someone you see in the chart you can vote for anyone, even yourself.

The winners will receive a number of prizes from local buisnesses as well as free entry into next years Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance.

This is a fund-raiser so you can vote as many times as you like and for as many people as you wish.

If you have a donation you would like to vote with but don’t have the time to get to the school you can e-mail us and we can coordinate a pick-up.

As you know this type of event hinges on donations and gifts, and the willingness of the community to provide these.  Well, we have good news. Some of the local businesses have already come thru with some extreme generosity.

For starters, Amy’s Fireworks has delivered a few very nice pieces.  One of which is a beautiful wooden desk.  So you may want to keep an eye out for that while you are looking thru the silent auction room on February 18th.

One of the other items that has been donated is a bit more techy.  Twincorner Art & Design has donated an Imation Link Video Extender. What is that exactly? The Imation Link makes it possible for you to display your laptop screen onto you HD television.  Pretty cool! Take a look at the video for a little more info and maybe you can get the real thing at Mardi Gras.

We may use the Imation Link as the prize for the mask and costume drawing. Remember if you come to Mardi Gras with your Mardi Gras mask or in costume you will be automatically entered into the drawing.

Those are not the only donations we have and they certainly won’t be the last. We have also been given a beautiful print from the local artist Paul Drum and we typically receive a piece of jewelry or work of art from one of the local jewelers.

Keep checking back and we’ll keep updating.
