Nick Guarriello hosted a budget committee meeting at his house. The committee did a very thorough job in setting a budget for the upcoming year.

We would like to vote on the proposed budget at the July meeting. The Scholarship Committee headed by Pat Marcinko is finished with its work. The $1000 scholarship will be awarded to an 8th grader who will be attending La Salle High School. Readers of the essays included Ken Bakondi, Chris Blair, Harry Reed, Nick Guarriello and Jerry Renfro. The title of the essay was, What a Catholic Education Means to Me. Pat Marcinko will reveal the name of the winner at the 8th grade graduation ceremony on June 12 th. Some questions came up regarding who is eligible to win the scholarship. What about students who are home-schooled? What about students who are not financially able to attend St. John the Apostle School? Ken Link might be a person with whom to have a conversation since his children have been home schooled. The Raffle Committee reported that all 350 tickets were sold. That generated $3500. The cost of the three prizes was $1277. That left us a profit of $2223. The Steak & Bingo Committee reported a profit of $1198.
