2020 CONCESSION STAND FUNDRAISER
It is official, St. Mary’s has been given the opportunity to operate the San Saba Football Concession Stand again this year. As you know, this is a great fund raiser for us and A LOT OF WORK! We are so grateful for the leadership of Lewis & Susie Garza for the past two years. They have been instrumental in the success of this event. They have been our leaders, mentors, and teachers. This year they are taking a much-deserved break and are turning over the role of Concession Stand Coordinators to other volunteers. Thank you, Lewis & Susie, we could not have done it without you!
As with all successful projects, it takes a great team. We send a huge thank you to all those who have given their time to the concession stand to manage all the miscellaneous jobs it takes to make it happen. In the past two years our parishioners have donated over 2000 hours to this project. Because of our dedicated volunteers we have been able to raise over $40,000 in the past two years.
For the 2020 Season, how the Concession Stand is operated will be adapted in order for us to stay within the guidelines of COVID-19. We have a steering committee that is reviewing State and Local requirements, our menus, our logistics/spacing, and alternatives ways to provide refreshments for the football spectators. And of course, WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
A schedule of home games and Concession Stand tasks is at the entrance of Church; on Facebook (St. Mary's Catholic Church - San Saba); and on our Website (www.stmaryssansaba.org). See below links.
Please take a few minutes to look at the dates and volunteers needed.
Contact the office if you can help out.
