Comedy and Cuisine

Plans are already underway for a fabulous evening of dinner and entertainment that will highlight 2010 Comedy & Cuisine.

Mark your calendars and “save the date” for Saturday, March 27, 2010. The event will be held at the Fr. Henry J. Sullivan Center at Creighton Prep High School. Comedy & Cuisine is a semi-formal dinner that includes live and silent auctions. The event is the primary fund-raiser for Saint Cecilia Grade School and has raised more than $1.2 million since it was first held 12 years ago. Event chairs for 2010 are Kimberly and Michael Joyce and Julie and Mike Swartz. Chairs for 2010 are Chris Burbach and Judith Nygren and Brian and Lynn Rhoten. More details will be available in the next issue of The Chimes.

The Kick-Off Party for Comedy & Cuisine is planned from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Parish Center in the Monsignor Ernest Graham Building.

We need more volunteers to help prepare for the 2010 event so please contact the Joyce family at 932-7290 or joycek[at]boystown.org or the Swartz family at 556-5250 or mjswartz1[at]cox.net. Your time and talents will be of great help. We will soon start acquiring items for the silent auction so please look for sources of donated items. Categories include home, kids, art and jewelry, sports and the outdoors, and gift certificates for goods and services. We also will need vacation, dining, home improvement and other special packages for the live auction.
