Thanks for an outstanding Oktoberfest: “2020 Modified”
A hearty thanks to our wonderful volunteers, sponsors, donors and to-go diners for making Oktoberfest 2020 Modified better than most people could have imagined. With this year’s challenges, our parishioners did their best to keep the Oktoberfest momentum going in our 20th Anniversary year! While realizing our profits would be much less, our goal was to still have some of the Oktoberfest “community” fun. And the response was overwhelming and affirming! We are still tallying receipts and expenses, but we expect to have a final profit amount to share with you soon. The proceeds from Oktoberfest go to the Capital Development Fund to help pay for our church building. A special thanks goes to this year’s lead team members: Peggy Snyder, Judy Bugger, Mandi Huelsmann, Rita Zinn, Shirley Seipp, Joy Warren, Jaclyn Gross, Pat Kinsella, Darrell Raynor, Roy Rogge, Sam Klein, Carl Lurk, Ken and Jeanne Smith, Mark and Mary Huller, Jane Dotson, Ruth Holdener, Kim Knaust, Frank Morski, Alicia and Ryan Luechtefeld. We truly appreciate the women and men who made the meal, and all of those who worked at the to-go dinner. A big help this year were many of our Confirmation students, who served as curbside food runners and got a first-hand look at the importance of volunteering at a big church event. We are looking forward to returning to our huge Oktoberfest next year, and remember you are always welcome to join team Oktoberfest! In gratitude, Father Jim Deiters Tom Knaust, Oktoberfest Chairman
