The envelope company that the parish uses for postal mailings made an unfortunate error with this year's bazaar raffle ticket mailing. Here are the details and our fix.
It has been our long-standing practice to have five booklets with three tickets in each mailed to parishioners. However, the envelope company mailed only one booklet with five tickets. If we used these, we would simply lose money.
Here is the new plan:
Disregard the first mailing and throw everything in the recycle bin. If you sent in tickets and payment already, we will refund you and dispose of the tickets.
You will receive a second, correct mailing by Monday, September 16. You will have until Sunday, September 29, to return them.
We will pull the winners on Monday, September 30.
The new, salmon-colored tickets will also be available at the bazaar and at the entrances of the church.
