The last week

Let's get right down to business . . .

- We need two volunteers, one Tuesday and one Wednesday to watch the classrooms during lunch from 12:10 - 12:40. Please reply to this email if you are available!

- For VIP the 8th grade will no longer be wearing their Confirmation robes and mortar boards, but instead will be wearing jeans and a t-shirt from the high school they will be attending. They will need this for the Wednesday and Thursday performances.

- Tuesday, May 27th at 8:30am is the Cap and Gown Mass with the school. This is a beautiful service incorporating our graduates, their teachers and their schoolmates.

- We are in need of volunteers on Thursday, May 29th to decorate for the dinner dance. You can come any time between 1pm - 5pm to help. This is a small window of time to get the decorating done so the more volunteers we have the sooner we can all get home and prepare for the big night!

- White Sox game ticket order forms went home last week and are due back to Bill Jarecki tomorrow Tuesday, May 20th.

- A big thank you to Beth Harbauer and Marta Spiezio and all those who contributed their time or made food donations for the hot dog and taco lunches that the kids had over the past several weeks. And thanks to Mrs. Stasi who purchased graduation plates and napkins and the Class of 2008 wristbands you may have seen your student wearing since Thursday's lunch.

Best of all the kids had a great time and have been so polite and appreciative for everything they've recieved.

- One last note, in case you didn't notice it in the eMessenger. St. Joe' s is looking for volunteers to make dinners for Father Jerome and our new associate. Father gave up his cook shortly after arriving last year in order to save the parish money, so they are looking to help him out.

If you would be willing to share your family's meal by preparing a little extra and dropping it off a few times per year, Father Jerome and his new associate would be most grateful. If you are interested please contact Therese Lucas 630-493-0832 or pblucas3649@msn.com .

Someone also suggested sending over a menu from a local restaurant and letting Father Jerome, and soon Father Dennis actual choose what their meal is going to be.

- Thanks for all your help and support!!!
