Our Thanks ....
QUEEN OF APOSTLES INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2011
To the Teachers, Staff, Parents and Parishioners of Queen of Apostles:
The Queen of Apostles International Festival Committee wishes to thank you all so much for your generous support of our recent International Festival which was held on Saturday, May 14th.
Despite the rain, and threatening thunderstorms, we were incredibly pleased with the large turnout and the immense participation from the Community to our school and parish.
We were particularly blessed to have the assistance of such hard working and dependable volunteers both on Friday night and all day Saturday, starting as early as 5am. Because of your kind efforts and contributions, the International Festival showcased homemade exquisite foods from all Continents, as well as amazing multi-cultural entertainment from around the World. We could not have asked for a better line up and the children all seemed to have fun at the games.
The unwavering support from parents and volunteers at Queen of Apostles is a true testament to our diverse and tight knit Community and to your tireless dedication to our children and our school.
Without you and your generosity, this Community event would not have been such a huge success. We are truly thankful for all your support in making this a wonderful event, and we look forward to building upon those efforts in the coming years.
With grateful thanks,
Claudia Baragaño, Marina Cook, Helen Glenister, Roxana Huertas, Maria Marvich
