theatergoers to their seats inside the auditorium.

Thank you!

Brownie Troop 70237

Dear St. Gregory the Great Academy parents and staff,

As part of our service hours for Confirmation, during the months of

February and March, Nick and I will be collecting shoes to help a boy

named Zachary. Zachary has a goal of collecting 25,000 pairs of shoes

for children in other countries who don’t have shoes to wear. Some

people do not have the fortune to own a pair of shoes, so they have to

walk on dirt with their bare feet! You can help by donating new or used

pairs of shoes, sandals, or sneakers that you may not wear anymore or

perhaps may have outgrown. You can donate these shoes in the box at

the front of St. Gregory the Great Academy.

*Please note that all shoes must have soles and be wearable.

Thank you for your help! And God bless you.

-Luciano Verduci(7B) and Nicholas Merlino(7A)

BINGO WORKERS NEEDED!

Help is needed –

please consider joining a Bingo Team!

Bingo is held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the

St. Gregory the Great Parish Center

All proceeds from the Tuesday and Thursday Bingo go directly to the Academy.

It is important that we have plenty of workers to help us staff this fund raiser.

We are in desperate need of Bingo Workers who can commit to working every month

or every other month.

Interested in helping?? There are THREE ways to join:

Option 1 - A monthly commitment on either Tuesday or Thursday Evening - you would

be assigned a team, etc 1st Tuesday – 2nd Tuesday etc. same for Thursday.

(4 points per night) - Bingo hours are 5:30 pm until 10:15 pm

Option 2 - A Bingo Buddy - You would only be required to work every other month.

You would share the yearly responsibility with your Bingo Buddy.

You still receive 4 points per night,

but, it is a 6 month not a 12 month commitment, but is a yearlong commitment.

Option 3 – Single Bingo Buddy – You would be required to work every other month.

You would commit to either working every even month of the year or every odd month

of the year. You would not be able to switch.

You still receive 4 points per night,

but, it is a 6 month not a 12 month commitment, but is a yearlong commitment.

Please keep in mind, Bingo is a 12 month commitment (either by yourself or with your

buddy) – if you miss 3 or more Bingos in a year, you will no longer be considered a

bingo worker. Working Bingo is NOT a “drop-in” volunteer service – no one is

allowed to show up at any Bingo because they need a few extra points – you must be

assigned to a team.

If you cannot work your scheduled Bingo night, it is important that you contact your MIC

to let him/her know why you cannot attend.

Please contact Mrs. Patty Pierson to sign up to work Bingo at
