Happy Veterans' Day!  Take a moment and thank a veteran for his or her efforts in keeping the United States safe and wonderful place to live.

Thanks to everyone who donated their leftover Halloween candy and also to the Food Drive.  Now more than ever, we are beginning a season of giving back.

We give a HUGE thank you to Gina Tramelli & Michelle Keady and all their fabulous helpers for an amazing achievement with the Denim & Diamonds Auction.  It was so much fun and everyone had a wonderful time.  But turnabout is fair play...Gina & Michelle would like to thank everyone in the Immacolata community for their great spirit, support & generosity for the success of the auction.  They feel truly blessed.  They would also like to thank Byron & Peggy Luber for being the Diamond Sponsors and are so sad that Peggy had to miss Saturday night, but hope she really will enjoy the trip to Spain. Ole!

In other Auction news:  The Immacolata T-shirts that can be worn on Fridays will also be sold at Friday Night Lights for $20.  Also, those darling Immacolata Teddy Bears will be sold for $25 at the Christmas Program on Thurs, Dec. 3.  If for any reason, you just can't wait that long, you can contact Michelle Keady (862-6765) or Gina Tramelli (692-2172).

Don't Forget:  Dec. Hot Lunch orders & money are due this Fri, Nov. 13.   Get this done ASAP, because you know you are going to be busy with the upcoming basketball, Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, and other everyday activities such as projects, homework, and yard work.  Life is busy.  Get this out of the way now.  Questions, call Peggy Luber (432-6271).

Ladies, we all love the holidays and it so much fun thinking of creative ways to add that extra pizzazz.  So, put all those wonderful ideas together with a couple of friends and host a Advent By Candlelight Table on Sun, Dec. 6!  For more information, contact Mary Corrigan (mlcorrigan@sbcglobal.net or 991-3359).
