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.

fund-raiser, King and Queen Election, Mardi Gras

The election is under way!

Every year we have an election/fund-raiser to find the new Mardi Gras King and Queen. This year we are changing it up just a little bit. To improve on the “fund-rasing” portion of the event we have expanded the time frame and area for voting. In previous years the only opportunity to nominate and vote for a couple was during the Mardi Gras dance. For this year’s election we will be asking for donations as well as placing nomination envelopes and ballot boxes in the backs of all three of the local parishes.

We have already started the race and have a few couples on the chart. Even though they have a small head start it would be easy for a new contender to jump into the mix.

Below is the pie chart with the nominated couples and their current election rankings. If you would like to get someones name in the running you can make a nomination and vote/donation All Saints Catholic School or at any of the local Catholic parishes.
