Parish Picnic
FUNERAL MEALS
If you have been to a funeral here at St. Anthony's, you probably stayed for a meal afterwards. Those meals are offered to all members of St. Anthony parish and their families. There are five coordinators, thirteen callers, and many more workers, cooks and bakers to list here. It takes a lot of people to put on a dinner. We are in need of new volunteers for cooking, baking and working. If you have signed up before and never been called, we apologize. Sometimes a name is lost between your sign-up and the coordinators. Please let us know if this has happened to you and we will work to straighten it out. Another problem we have is that many workers & those who are on our list to bring food have dropped their home phones & now only have cell phones. Please let us know your cell phone number! Our callers have had a hard time reaching people that were available before only to be told that a phone is no longer in service. Please call Judy Mielke at 517-869-2528 or 517-849-2273 to give us your new cell phone number, any complaint, or to volunteer as a new worker or to bring food. The office would appreciate your cell phone number also.
Thank you.
